Neena Gupta on nasty media reports, marrying Vivek; recalls a director abusing her | Memory Lane

Neena Gupta is a bonafide star of today but the 80s weren't as smooth for her and in the latest episode of Memory Lane the actress recalls her time during that era. From giving auditions in the 80s to the media coverage that made a wrong image of her, leading to a lull, financial struggles and thoughts of leaving this career, the actress revisits it all. She opens up on the challenges of being a single mother to daughter Masaba Gupta, her apprehensions of marrying Vivek Mehra and why she eventually said yes to him. Neena also talks about the turning point in her career, the star system in Bollywood, paving a new way for veteran actresses in the industry and the story behind her infamous Instagram post in 2017 where she asked for work. She recalled her meeting with Dev Anand too in the segment Blast From The Past, and you can watch it all here!

What has been the most iconic role played by Neena Gupta for you?

[@vandanabadola8152]

TV serial Saans

[@shikasunil]

As Draupadi in G V Iyer's "Bhagavad Gita', a sanskrit movie. And, yes Saans

[@Jo-on-Go]

I loved her all the roles!

[@viviachumi5195]

Swabhiman serial, Doordarshan times 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@nitinsoni5051]

@@vandanabadola8152right saans👌🏻

[@Worrier629]

Such an honest and talented actor. I’ve always enjoyed watching her acting. She can make any character seem so real that she almost defines that character. Her acting skills have been under-utilised but I’m so glad now to see her in comedy as also in serious, emotive roles.

[@daliakarmakar5123]

Neena Gupta, one of my favourites. She is always candid in all her interviews. And let me mention, the interviewer is just fantastic.

[@aakashihanda6580]

I stay near her house ... She comes to the beach for walks.......sometimes i just want to go and hug her .......for what she is.......... love her ❤️😍

[@theamazinglife1454]

Where is she live???

[@roshnimonteiro2229]

Such a beautiful conversation, the host is also very good 👍 what strikes about her is her simplicity and frankness.

[@thatdumbguy6075]

Probably dark circles, alcohol, drugs etc

[@aparnad100]

She is so simple and unassuming. There is so many life lessons to learn from her . I can watch her speak endlessly . Neenaji ...Aapse Milne Ka ek Mauka tho chahiye.

[@jaishreeram9734]

Yes loved the Hawkins add.

[@RekhaYadav-bd6kj]

Such a lovely, transparent n beautiful person she is. I admire her soooo much.

[@reenaraywahi]

I totally identify with Neena where her daughter is concerned. Being of the same age, for one our thoughts are similar in general. I lost my husband to sudden death years ago and later met my second life partner but committed on the basis of my daughter feeling safe and secure. She was my priority then and still is, even at age 39.

[@ritapal3473]

Beautiful interview...An honest person in today's fake world, that's why her path was not strewn with flowers..

[@gauravvsingh6836]

Neena ji we love you...I love your acting very much...Director abused her in front of Vinod Khanna & Juhi Chawla?? And they didn't react on abusing her???? Very bad shame on Juhi & Vinod Khanna...and big shame to the pathetic director also...pls be good human beings first.

Movie was Eena Meena Dekka and director was David Dhawan!

[@drfarahdeeba1344]

My favourite actress from 1980s,i always admired Nena Ji, her behaviours , her style of talking, her soft yet rigid voice,her natural acting.

[@luckycharm1611]

Such an awesome interview. I loved that she spoke in Hindi and not in English like nakli actors of today. She seems like such a sensitive and loving person. A girl next door. She was capable of much more, maybe did not get enough roles to show her full talent. Her "choli.ke oeechey kya hain" is superb. The interviewer was very genuine too. Boyish and shy.

[@gassyalways]

Yeah 👍

[@namitajain68]

Her sense of time is warped. He is asking about 80s and 90s, she is citing examples of 60s and 70s!

[@shraddhagohel6474]

She is very truthfully and lively person

[@gargisheth729]

I love her courage in those days and her attitude

[@nikkiesehmay2970]

I respect you for being a bold single mother. We know you since Jaane bhi do yaron

Excellent interview ... 🍀🌻👍❗

[@sujatafernandes973]

Interviewer is new in his profession but he is good n will be better.👍👍

[@dr.padmapanikkar3737]

Dev Anand was a superstar of 50s and 60s ,so is Waheeda Rahman.Dharmendra was a superstar of the 60s and 70s .Neenah is saying all these people are her favourite superstars from 80s and 90s.The song ' main tere pyar mein Sara Alam ' is from the film Dil ek Mandir .It was released in 1963 ,not eighties and nineties.Bell bottoms were trendy in 70s not 80s and 90s.Buffaunt was trendy in the mid 60s ,not 80s and 90s.

I like her and her insta post she is one of those actresses who doesn’t give me bad thoughts that for money she must be doing something wrong like how we hear of other actresses

[@futurol4177]

Most original, talented, underrated, underexplored, confident personality of Hindi Cinema..

[@pritiparmar1002]

[@gassyalways]

[@dapinderkaur2169]

But I came to know about her when I was a kid, as my mom used to watch SAANS too rigidly... So SAANS was the serial that made her so popular in my home and amongst other ladies!! 💖💕

[@syedabbasali4956]

the best role I loved of Nina jee is in Mirza Galib

[@sujatafernandes973]

Why is she wearing dark glasses in a closed room....weird🤣 But jokes apart Neena Gupta has come a long way n is a good actress.

[@vitg7043]

Maybe she's having cold nd her eyes are puffy and red?!!

[@sulaganabiswas]

I think she had a bad cold and hence the dark glasses. She was coughing throughout

[@shabeenahaq9142]

It seems she is unwell, may be that's the reason she is hiding her eyes by sun glasses

[@aabidadar5532]

I see lot of Indian actress and actor wear sunglasses during interviews. It’s weird

[@lifesgoodness2023]

Those are fashion glasses....everything we are not aware of Or hv not done ourselves seems weird but that doesn't mean u will make fun of someone or that's wtong

[@shaquilledean2218]

19:31 That director was DAVID DHAWAN film Eena Meena Deeka.

[@shikasunil]

When asked about a favourite song of 80s, she has quoted a song from 1963. Likewise, the interviewer asks her favourite movie of 80s n 90s, and she replies 'The Guide' which is also from 1960s! What kind of interview is this?

[@sanjsingh3692]

Think she's not feeling good

[@newsjunkieish]

She is elderly and has not been in circulation much. One can forgive her slip-ups. Plus it is not a test.

[@alikkj1230]

She is the first open person in India who had a child out of marriage which is still considered very bad in India and Pakistan.The main reason people take you as a public property when you have lusty relations with men of any cast or race.The talent cannot mask her that mistake even she considers her self to bhi right.Wrong is always wrong and Right is always right.This trend in most Indian actress now just after white men but still huge cultural and social barriers.

Neena Gupta is a verygood actress but many actors in the pass said in interviews that in the pass they all work like a family and many of the directors were very closed to the actors but now it's totally different,nowadays only friends get role and good pay and now you have casting directors at the age of 21,only a group of actors and actress get almost all films.
