In
her
book
'Sach
Kahun
Toh
-
An
Autobiography',
actress
Neena
Gupta
shared
her
sweet
memories
with
veteran
lyricist
Gulzar
and
revealed
how
he
taught
her
to
play
tennis,
and
also
poked
fun
at
her
wish
to
dress
like
tennis
player
Martina
Navratilova.
According
to
Times
Of
India,
Neena
wrote
in
her
book,
"Gulzar
Sahib
used
to
go
to
a
place
in
Andheri
called
Practennis
to
play
tennis
every
day.
He
was
a
huge
sports
enthusiast
so
when
I
found
out,
I
asked
if
I
could
join.
He
picked
me
up
at
6:30
am
every
day
and
we'd
play
together.
He
even
gifted
me
my
first
tennis
racket.
I
wasn't
very
good,
but
he
was
a
spectacular
player.
He
would
play
for
almost
an
hour,
hour-and-a-half
every
day."
She
further
revealed
that
she
got
so
involved
in
playing
tennis
that
she
wanted
to
dress
like
Martina
Navratilova.
She
wrote,
"I
wanted
to
wear
nice
tennis
clothes
like
her.
You
know
what
I
am
talking
about?
The
short
skirts
and
fitted
shorts.
Perfect
to
run
around
in.
In
those
days,
these
kinds
of
clothes
were
not
easily
available
in
India,
so
anyone
going
abroad
was
immediately
tasked
with
bringing
such
clothes
for
me."
Neena
further
wrote,
when
she
expressed
her
desire
to
dress
like
Navratrilova
to
Gulzar,
he
joked,
"Neena
improve
your
game
first
and
then
start
investing
in
dressing
the
part."
In
the
book,
Neena
also
praised
Gulzar
for
being
a
gentleman,
because
he
always
took
extra
care
of
her
during
her
pregnancy.
"I
have
mentioned
before
that
I
had
friends
who
took
special
care
of
me
during
my
pregnancy.
I
am
so
honoured
to
have
had
Gulzar
Sahib
among
those
friends," wrote
Neena.
