She later joined the Lady Shri Ram College for Women in New Delhi, where she graduated in sociology honors.

Viva! soon launched their first self-titled album Viva! in 2002, reportedly 500.000 copies of which were sold in the following months. After the launch of their second album Viva! Reloaded, which was their last album as well, the group spilt and the individual members went on start their solo careers as did Neha Bhasin as well.

Very soon, Neha Bhasin stepped into playback singing, singing for Indian soundtracks, starting with the title track of the 2005 Hindi film Bullet - Ek Dhamaka for composer Somesh Mathur, which was penned hy herself.[2] Subsequently, she sung several Hindi film songs for Anand Raj Anand, Aadesh Shrivastava and Salim-Sulaiman and also got to sing several Tamil film songs for composer Yuvan Shankar Raja. She won the Reliance Mobile Vijay TV Award for Best Female Playback Singer for the song "Pesugiren Pesugiren" from the 2007 Tamil film Satham Podathey, composed by the latter,[3] while she got a nomination for the 2009 Filmfare Best Female Playback Award for the song "Kuch Khaas" from the Hindi film Fashion, composed by Salim-Sulaiman.
