Neena Gupta got pregnant when she was dating West Indies cricketer Vivian Richards but the two later parted ways due to reasons best known to them. But the Badhaai Ho actress decided to have the child out of wedlock. Satish had 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.”
Speaking to a leading daily Satish has now opened up about his proposal and said offered to marry her because he was very fond of her as a “friend” and didn’t want her to feel alone. He was quoted as saying, “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”.
