Some Lesser Known Facts About Neetu Pandey

  • Neetu Pandey is an Indian film and TV actress. She gained recognition with her multiple appearances in the crime series Savdhaan India: Crime Alert (2012) on Life OK and Crime Patrol Dial 100 (2016) on Sony. She gained popularity for playing the role of Narmada Rathore in the famous drama series Imlie (2022) on STAR Plus.

  • She was passionate about acting from a young age and aspired to be an actress.

  • She got married at 17, while still in her Class 11, but continued living with her parents due to the Gohna tradition, which involves the bride staying at her parental home for a period agreed upon after marriage.

  • She completed her Class 12 before moving to her husband’s family home in Gomti Nagar, Lucknow, where she became part of a large household of 7-8 members and took on the responsibilities of managing the home.

  • After becoming a mother to a daughter, she pursued her higher education through a distance learning program at Kanpur University (presently known as CSJM University).

  • She took up a teaching job in a school in Lucknow when her daughter started school at the age of three.

  • On her way from school to home, she would pass by the Bhartendu Natya Academy (BNA), a prestigious drama institute in Lucknow, which sparked her interest in acting. Eventually, she decided to visit BNA and signed up for a summer acting workshop. Her classes were scheduled in the evenings, from 3 pm to 6 pm. Neetu’s traditional in-laws were ignorant of her aspirations to become an actor. In an interview, she shared that her sister-in-law Poonam played a crucial role in supporting her ambitions. To keep their acting classes a secret from their in-laws, Neetu and Poonam pretended they were attending evening computer courses while they were actually going to BNA. They pulled off this lie for a month after which their in-laws found out about the acting workshops and opposed Neetu’s participation. She managed to persuade them to allow her to complete the workshop, arguing she was already midway through it.

  • In her first theatrical performance, Charandas Chor by Habib Tanvir, Neetu was cast as the queen, a role she landed by chance when the original actress for the queen’s part had to leave for a trip. Initially, Neetu was assigned the role of a daasi (handmaiden of queen).

  • Later, she played minor roles in various TV series, earning a daily wage of Rs 1500-2000 during that period.
