Neetu Kapoor said she was feeling "scared" to be all by herself, but is happy to return to work.

"Back on set after so many years. To new beginnings and the magic of the movies. I feel your love and presence. From mom, to Kapoor Sahab, to Ranbir always being with me, now I find myself all by myself. Feeling a little scared, but I know you are always with me," she wrote.
