Recently, Neena Gupta went to see Gulzar Sahab and gave him her book, “Sach Kahun Toh.” She was trolled for wearing indecent clothes. Neena Gupta is a Bollywood Actress known for her sassy personality and positive outlook on life. The actress has shaped her life in her own beautiful way, never afraid to make bold choices in a conservative society like ours. She believes in living life on her own terms, and her life choices never fail to inspire women her age.
Neena Gupta’s autobiography, Sach Kahun Toh, was published last year, and she’s been enjoying the success of her first book ever since. The actress met with lyricist Gulzar and presented him with her book, which she documented on her Instagram account. For her outing, she wore a blue-white floral co-ord set with white shoes and a pair of sunglasses. On the other hand, netizens mercilessly mocked her for wearing shorts, labeling her dress as vulgar.
In an interview with Koi Moi, Neena Gupta discussed her meeting with Gulzar Sahab and expressed her delight after hearing him praise her book, Sach Kahun Toh. Furthermore, she reacted appropriately to the trolls who had chastised her for wearing shorts, revealing that she used to play tennis with Gulzar Sahab every morning and that they met in tennis shorts. In her words:
“Me unse expect bhi nahi kar Rahi thi reply. Vo mujhse pyaar se mile, mene une book di, mere liye yahi bohot hai. Aur me kuch baat un bewakoof ke bacche jo mujhe likhte hai ki shorts pehenkar Gulzar Sahab se milne gayi, unko batana chahungi ki meri Gulzar sahab se mulakaat aur dosti tabhi Hui jab vo roz subha mujhe tennis khelne ke liye pick up karte the gharse. To hum dono shorts me hi milte the roz ek dusre ko.”
Neena Gupta isn’t afraid to speak her mind. The actress had previously chastised trolls for judging women based on their clothing choices. She shared a video of herself wearing a grey dress with a plunging neckline on her Instagram account. In the video, Neena slammed trolls for picking on women dressed in revealing clothing. In Hindi, she was overheard saying:
“Mujhe ye isliye post karna hai kyunki aisa lagta hai ki jo log aise sexy type kapde pahante hain, jaise ki maine abhi pahne hai – wo aise hi hote hain, bekar ke. Lekin main bata du ki maine Sanskrit mein MPhil ki hui hai, aur bhi bahut kujh kia hua hai. “To kapde dekh ke kisi ko judge nahi karen.” “Troll karne walo samajh lo.”
