Neena Gupta was recently in the news for rumours of her pregnancy. The actress was spotted at Rashmika Mandanna, Vijay Deverakonda’s wedding reception and was seen in a white gold saree. Soon, her appearance sparked rumours of her pregnancy at the age of 66. Gupta however, slammed these rumours. “I am not pregnant. The truth is that the saree material was thick, which made me look bulky at the event,” she said told Bollywood Hungama.
Meanwhile, here’s recalling the time when Gupta had opened up on her past relationships and her equation with her ex-boyfriends. Neena was in a relationship with former cricketer Viv Richards and had a baby with him. While she wasn’t married at that point, she took a bold decision of raising a child as a single mother. The actress has often spoken about her struggles that time. She also had written about it in her memoir, ‘Sach Kahun Toh’ as she wrote, “Some people advised me to get an abortion. Others cautioned against the perils of being a single parent. I listened to everyone patiently. They were all very concerned, I know. But once I was back home and alone, I asked myself: What do you think? How does this make you feel? The answer was: I was giddy with joy.”
During promotions for the series ‘Masaba Masaba’, actor Neena Gupta spoke openly about her past relationships and her bond with former West Indies cricketer Vivian Richards. Reflecting on her personal life, Neena shared her views on forgiveness and explained why she does not believe in holding grudges against people from her past.
When asked if she ever felt resentment toward former partners, Neena dismissed the idea, saying she prefers to move on rather than harbour negative feelings. “I believe once you love somebody, how can you hate? You cannot live, you cannot be together. I don’t hate my ex-boyfriends. I don’t hate my ex-husband. Why should I hate?”
She also responded to questions about her relationship with Richards, making it clear that she does not view it with bitterness. “Agar koi mereko itna bura lagta hai toh main bachcha usse paida karungi kyun? Mai pagal hoon kya?”
