The Impressive TimesMumbai — Veteran actress Neena Gupta, known for her fearless honesty and stellar performances, recently made a candid revelation about her personal life. Speaking during an interview, Gupta admitted that she has never experienced the kind of intense, passionate love often portrayed in movies or books.
“Mere peeche koi paagal nahi hua… aisi filmon wali ya kitaabon wali mohabbat mujhe kabhi nahi mili,” she said, adding a touch of realism to the often-glamorized idea of romantic love.
The 64-year-old actress, who has broken several societal norms throughout her career and personal life, was reflecting on how cinema has set certain expectations for women when it comes to relationships. Known for her bold choices — both onscreen and off — Neena Gupta has always embraced her individuality, including her decision to raise her daughter Masaba Gupta as a single mother.
Gupta added that while she may not have lived a “filmy” love story, her journey has been fulfilling in its own way. She has previously spoken about loneliness, ageing, and the importance of self-love in her best-selling autobiography Sach Kahun Toh.
Fans lauded her remarks online, calling them “refreshing” and “relatable,” especially in an era where social media often promotes idealized relationships.
