Neena Gupta has always been candid, and she remains so in a revealing chat with Neha Dhupia in the fifth season of her chat show, No Filter With Neha.
From discovering love at 50 to talking about why she always fails in her auditions, the actress doesn’t hold back at all.
“Most of my auditions, main fail ho jati hoon. Kabhi nahi milta mujhe,” she says.
On how she spent the lockdown
To tell you frankly, this has been the best four-and-a-half months of my life.
Beautiful place, lovely house, my own house so comfortable, staff, driver, no restriction, sit out, walk out because it’s a gated thing and everybody inside is already quarantined for four months.
So we could meet them, we could eat with them, I could walk with them, so I found a new family and this is the first time, me and my husband stayed together for like four months.
Otherwise, he lives in Delhi, I live in Bombay.
So this was the first time I enjoyed being with somebody in the same house, although he was busy, I was busy.
On teething problems with her husband during the lockdown
Majorly, majorly! (laughs)
I’ve learned sign language because he is always busy on his conference calls.
The adjustment took some time, but it was very interesting that I let him be, he kind of tried to let me be, but he had no alternative.
In any case, he didn’t have time to interfere in my life so it was fine, but whenever he got time, then he interfered which I decided I will not interfere.
