Neena Gupta says she tries to change her approach as a mother to Masaba with time
Neena Gupta has been very vocal about her life as a single mother, raising daughter Masaba Gupta while also balancing an acting career in Mumbai. She says her father’s emotional support and her mother’s unexpectedly unorthodox thinking helped her a lot. Mumbai as a city and society was kind to her as well. The actress’ outlook towards life is modern in many ways, but is she a cool, modern mother with daughter Masaba? Let’s find out.
Who was your biggest support as a single mother?
My father was my biggest support. He was the man of the house. He came and started living with me. If he had not stayed with me I would not have survived. He supported me emotionally, and financially as well, initially. When I had moved to Mumbai, I was living in a PG, under poor conditions. My mother’s thinking was so modern, she told my father, ‘Instead of dividing the property after our death, why don’t you give it to her now? She needs the money. Maybe she won’t even need it after our death.’ So my mother, who was so orthodox in so many ways, was so modern and practical in this situation. They sold one property and bought me one 1-bedroom-kitchen in Andheri East.
