Vidya’s question for husband Sidharth Roy Kapur

For investigating her husband Siddharth Roy Kapur, she said, “I just want to know how many times a day does he think of me!” Vidya then laughed and said that she sometimes she does ask him this question and he gives an incredulous reaction saying that he thinks of her, but she wants to know exactly how many times.

About Neeyat

Vidya’s Neeyat marks her return to theatres after four years. She has had several digital releases in these years, including the biopic Shakuntala Devi, Sherni and Jalsa. Neeyat received mixed reviews upon release and earned a dismal nett collection of ₹1.02 crore in India on Friday.

The Hindustan Times review of the film read, “At 132 minutes, Neeyat may not be outright boring for it does manage to keep you invested and engaged to find out who actually is behind the murder, but it takes forever to unearth that truth. And even if the big reveal is the best part about the film that you didn’t see coming, it’s too little, too late.”
