"In fact, " laughs Neil, "My Dad was the most excited about the party. Since my mom was out of town visiting my sister in Kanpur, Dad had all the time to organize my party. We went shopping for crazy hats and got ourselves the craziest hairdos for the party.I never knew turning 29 could be so much fun."
Significantly Neil didn't invite a single colllegue co-star or director from the industry. "No! it was for childhood friends and school friends. This was one of the best house parties I ever had. Friends and family...I never had so much fun. We partied till 5 am on Sunday morning. The mad-hat crazy-hairdo theme went down very well with the invitees."
Neil continues to be blissfully single. "I parted ways with my girlfriend Priyanka a year ago. It seems like aeons. I'm sure she has moved on much quicker than me. She was always more practical than me. This year I hope to find a girl whom I can spend time with."
