Neena Gupta on relationship with Viv Richards, Masaba Gupta's divorce & single motherhood | Woman Up

Neena Gupta has always been a fierce woman, fighting for her own rights. She's never conformed to any usual societal norms and turned out to be the Modern Indian Woman. On our fourth episode of Woman Up, we have Neena speaking about a few things for the first time. From discussing her life with Viv Richards, and having Masaba Gupta out of wedlock to battling social judgments around that and even daughter Masaba's divorce from Madhu Mantena, this undoubtedly is her most unapologetic interview. Watch the video right here.

Usually he asks good questions. And Neenaji is extremely articulate and her opinions are worth listening from her itself :)

Hats off to such strong women !! It was a failed relationship but it doesn’t make her a failed woman. Being a woman and Having a kid with your boyfriend before marriage was a big cliché about 30-40 years ago in india and even today. It somewhere didn’t let her career grow to an extent that she deserved . She is a brilliant actress who lost lot of opportunities because she was a single mother. It’s the same country where Hardik pandya says “ main karke aya “ and then gets a baby with her girlfriend, become an unmarried father and live happily.
