Neena
Gupta
is
one
of
the
few
actresses
in
Bollywood
who
has
never
shied
away
from
speaking
about
her
personal
life.
She
has
always
been
vocal
about
her
past
relationship
with
West
Indian
cricketer
Vivian
Richards
with
whom
she
has
a
love
child,
Masaba
Gupta.
Neena
who
raised
Masaba
as
a
single
mother,
recently
talked
about
her
relationship
with
Vivian
and
how
there's
mutual
respect
between
them.
The
Badhaai
Ho
actress
said
that
although
their
love
failed
to
culminate
into
marriage,
she
will
never
poison
Masaba's
thoughts
about
her
father.
Neena
said
that
she
had
Masaba
because
she
loved
Vivian
Richards
and
that
love
can't
turn
to
hate
overnight.
In
an
interview
with
Bollywood
Bubble,
Neena
said,
"I
had
Masaba
because
I
loved
Vivian.
And
if
you
love
somebody,
you
can't
hate
somebody
like
that.
You
may
not
live
or
do
things
together
-
woh
dheere
dheere
pata
chalta
hai
(you
get
to
know
that
slowly).
But
you
can't
hate.
Aisa
toh
nahi
hota
ki
aaj
love
hai
toh
kal
suddenly
you
hate
(You
can't
love
someone
one
and
hate
them
the
next).
And
how
can
you
put
this
thing
in
your
daughter's
mind
about
her
father.
I
don't
want
to
and
don't
feel
it.
Why
should
I
poison
her
thoughts?
I
have
respect
for
him,
he
respects
me
and
so,
she
has
respect
for
both
of
us.
It's
a
very
simple
thing."
Neena
in
her
chat
with
the
entertainment
portal,
said
that
with
time,
she
has
come
to
the
conclusion
that
real
love
exists
only
between
parents
and
children.
All
other
love
is
just
lust
which
eventually
becomes
a
habit.
She
told
Bollywood
Bubble,
"As
far
as
love
is
concerned,
I
have
come
to
a
conclusion.
What
I
have
understood
is
that
real
love
exists
only
between
parents
and
children.
Baki
koi
love
nahi
hota
(Otherwise
there
is
no
love).
Woh
pehle
lust
hota
hai,
phir
habit
hoti
hai
(it's
lust
at
first,
then
habit)
then,
it's
caring.
This
is
what
I
think."
After
her
unsuccessful
relationship
with
Vivian
Richards,
Neena
Gupta
tied
the
knot
with
Vivek
Mehra,
a
Delhi-based
charted
accountant
in
2008.
Workwise,

Gupta

Preet

Ka
Grandson.
