Neena Gupta has been entertaining fans with her videos of lockdown diaries as she is quarantined in Uttarakhand with husband Vivek Mehra. But the actor, who is winning praise for her act in the recently dropped Panchayat, intends to use the self-isolation period productively. "I have finally decided to pen my autobiography," declares the veteran actor, adding that Mahesh Bhatt had been urging her to do so for long.
One of the bravest women in the industry, Gupta has had an unusual journey — after her relationship with West Indies cricket legend Vivian Richards went kaput, she raised daughter Masaba as a single parent. While Masaba went on to become one of the leading couturiers in the country, Gupta charted a successful second innings in Bollywood with Badhaai Ho (2018), thus paving the way for senior female actors.
