Neela (In young age) was shown in the show of Karmafal Daata Shani, which airs on Colors (TV channel). Her character was played by Jannat Zubair Rahmani.

According to the series, Neela and Shani both created by Shiva at the same time. But, Shani was Sakaratmaka Shakti (Positive energy) and Neela was Nakaratmaka Shakti (Negative energy). After birth of both, Neela was imprisoned by Lord Vishvakarman in his loka when she was in form of energy but after 12 years of her birth she came in body form. When she came in body form the enemies of Shani like Rahu, Sanjana/Sandhya and Indra create negativity in her for Shani and create a big misunderstanding. So she firstly became Shani's enemy.

First time, Neela was misunderstanding Shani. Shani's enemies were distracting Neela. They wanted to destroy him using her energy. She attacked him and captured him. But, Shani made her realise her mistake. Neela accepted her mistake and realised that she is Shani's power. Upon realising this, Neela immersed her powers as well as herself into Shani.
