On her association with the show, Neha said: "I'm excited to be associated with the most prestigious and definitive singing platform on Indian television. I started with being a contestant of a reality show and now I'm judging one. 
 
"When I was offered a chance to judge this show, I instantly took it up. ‘Sa Re Ga Ma Pa' has always presented talent across India a window of opportunity to learn, train under the guidance of the finest experts in the industry, mature and evolve as performers and above all, has paved the way to a career in playback for countless talented singers."
