The report quoted her saying that she will always take a stand against domestic violence.
For the unversed, in one of the episodes of Roadies, Neha lashed out at a contestant, who revealed that he had slapped a girl after he found out she was cheating on him with five other boys. While schooling him, Neha said, "It is her choice. May be the problem is with you. If she is cheating, maybe it is because she is feeling threatened by you. Nobody gives you a f****** right to slap a girl."
