"Today was Neena Mam's last day on Panga All I can say is we go beyond the actor-director relationship," Ashwiny wrote on Instagram.

Detailing her relationship with the veteran actor, the director expressed that the two are 'friends for life' and went on saying, "We are friends for life who chat about everything under the sun. There were times when we had serious overwhelming talk too that went into smiles of transparent innermost thoughts."

"That's how we understood each other," she added.

After singing praises of Neena, Ashwiny summed up her post by thanking her and wrote, "In silence. In the expression of oneness. Thank-you so much for your precious time and role and making Panga a part of you. I am great full for life and our story of friendship will only continue."
