While he was in New York, he spoke to Mumbai Mirror about how thankful he was to his friends and family for their support. “All my siblings, my children and Neetu in particular, who has been like a solid rock, have been around me, supporting me through all this... Ranbir keeps coming every five-six weeks. I am overjoyed by all the love and concern, the solidarity of my family,” he said.

He had added, “Here I have to make a special mention of my niece Natasha and my elder sister Ritu Nanda who is also here for the same reason. They were our anchors who kept Neetu and me going. When your anxiety is so high you need this kind of support and such motivational people around.”

“Big or small We all have a battle to fight in our heads you may have a huge house with all the luxuries and still be unhappy whereas have nothing n be the happiest it’s all a state of mind !! All one needs is a strong mind n hope for a better tmrw !!! Live with gratitude ,hope ,work hard !!!! Value your loved ones as thats your biggest wealth,” Neetu had written alongside one post.
