Neelam said, “My journey has been like a yo-yo…you know, I saw a big start in the 80s and 90s, then, you know, I left the industry.
And then I started my own business. I started my family jewelery business and then I made a comeback with ‘Fabulous Lives’. It was incredible. I am very fortunate to have got this opportunity. So, for this short of my journey, let me just say that it has been a roller coaster ride. I have also seen ups and downs. I’ve seen everything.”
