A
few
days
ago,
Neena
Gupta
launched
her
autobiography
'Sach
Kahun
Toh',
wherein
she
mentioned
about
how
Satish
Kaushik
tried
to
help
her
when
she
was
pregnant
with
Masaba
Gupta
out
of
wedlock.
For
the
unversed,
Neena
was
dating
cricketer
Vivian
Richards
and
got
pregnant
during
their
courtship.
In
her
memoir,
when
Satish
came
to
know
about
her
pregnancy,
he
told
her,
"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."
Now,
while
speaking
to
a
leading
daily
about
his
sweet
gesture,
Satish
said
that
he
was
trying
to
help
Neena
as
her
good
friend.
He
also
said
that
he
wanted
to
stand
by
her
hence,
proposed
marriage
to
her.
"I
used
to
appreciate
the
fact
that
a
girl
at
that
time
decided
to
have
a
child
out
of
wedlock.
As
a
true
friend,
I
simply
stood
by
her
and
gave
her
confidence.
Whatever
you
are
reading
in
the
memoir,
it
was
all
an
expression
of
my
affection
for
her
as
a
friend.
I
was
concerned
about
not
letting
her
feel
alone.
At
the
end
of
the
day,
that's
what
friends
are
for,
right?
As
mentioned
in
the
book,
when
I
offered
to
marry
her,
it
was
a
mix
of
humour,
concern,
respect,
and
support
for
my
best
friend
in
her
time
of
need,"
said
Kaushik.
He
further
said
that
Neena
was
moved
by
his
gesture
and
was
in
tears.
He
concluded
by
saying
that
from
that
day
onwards,
their
friendship
grew
stronger.
