Veteran
actress
Neena
Gupta
is
one
of
the
few
women
in
Indian
cinema
who
has
never
shied
away
from
speaking
her
mind.
While
heroines
in
Bollywood
generally
prefer
to
keep
their
private
lives
hush-hush,
the
Badhaai
Ho
actress
has
been
an
exception.
Be
it
about
her
love
affair
with
former
West
Indies
cricketer
Vivian
Richards
or
being
a
single
parent
to
daughter
Masaba,
Neena
has
always
been
vocal
in
her
interviews.
The
actress
recently
unveiled
her
autobiobraphy
titled
'Sach
Kahun
Toh'
in
which
she
has
chronicled
her
professional
highs
and
personal
lows.
As
per
a
report
in
Hindustan
Times,
in
one
of
the
chapters
in
her
book,
Neena
has
revealed
that
her
close
friend
and
filmmaker
Satish
Kaushik
had
offered
to
marry
her
when
she
was
pregnant
with
Masaba
out
of
wedlock.
Masaba
is
Neena
and
Viv
Richard's
love
child.
A
Hindustan
Times
report
stated
that
as
per
a
review
of
the
book
published
in
Film
Companion,
when
Neena
was
pregnant
with
Masaba,
Satish
came
up
with
a
proposition.
He
told
the
actress,
"Don't
worry,
if
the
child
is
born
with
dark
skin,
you
can
just
say
it's
mine
and
we'll
get
married.
Nobody
will
suspect
a
thing."
Earlier,
in
an
interview
with
a
news
portal,
Neena
had
said
that
although
her
relationship
with
Viv
Richards
failed
to
culminate
into
marriage,
she
will
never
poison
Masaba's
thoughts
about
her
father.
"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,"
the
senior
actress
was
quoted
as
saying
by
Bollywood
Bubble.
Workwise,
Neena
Gupta
will
next
be
seen
in
Amitabh
Bachchan-Rashmika
Mandanna's
Goodbye.
