She’s an actor, entrepreneur, television host, producer, podcast host. Clearly, nobody champions multitasking like Neha Dhupia.
With experiences spanning over two decades, Neha certainly knows how to create opportunities for herself.
Her talk show No Filter Neha features a slew of Bollywood stars in their candid avatar, and is co-produced under her home banner, Big Girl Productions.
“After spending over two decades in the business, I feel like nobody else can define your worth, except yourself,”
It’s been eight years to No Filter Neha, as it enters the sixth season.
The best thing about season six of No Filter Neha is that it is on video.
It’s very exciting for me as a co-producer and host to be in a situation where I know I’m in season 6.
It’s a huge stamp of approval from the audience. Guests keep coming back year after year to share their unfiltered side.
There was a lockdown, I ended up getting married and having two babies... That kind of slows down the process a little bit because you have to spend time at home.
So I paced myself out. But here I am!
How did the idea of Big Girl Productions come along?
When I was really young, my dad would say, ‘What’s my big girl doing?’
He used to be like, ‘Oh you’re a big girl. You can handle any situation.’
I thought it was a cute way of living up to my description and the way I was raised.
It was a value system that was put in my head.
