Why Neena Gupta secretly hope for her movies to be never release? Her candid confession

• Neena Gupta, a celebrated Indian actress, has earned four National Film Awards.
• She is known for her timeless beauty and for giving younger stars a chance.
• She admitted to doing “bad, stupid, horribly written roles” like servants, despite her parents’ wishes.

Neena Gupta, a celebrated actress with decades of experience in the Indian film industry, has earned four National Film Awards, showcasing her exceptional talent. Today, audiences admire her not only for her timeless beauty but also for how she gives younger stars a run for their money. However, there were times when Gupta prayed to God, hoping that some of her films would not be released because she felt they were poorly made.

In a recent conversation with Siddharth Kannan, Neena Gupta reflected on her past, sharing how she accepted “bad” roles to earn money and make ends meet. The veteran actress admitted that for many years, she took on roles despite her heart not being in them. The Mrs. Chatterjee vs Norway actress stated that when she came from Delhi to Mumbai to work in the Indian film industry, she could not even meet the director. “I used to do very bad, stupid, horribly written roles like that of a servant,” she reminisced, adding that she had no other solution since she joined the industry against her parents’ wishes. Hence, she didn’t want to take money from them.

She elaborated that she has done “so many bad roles” that sometimes she used to pray to God ki ye release nahi ho ye picture (that the film does not release) because it was so bad. “My value is that I will suffer but I will not ask for money. That is my value,” she concluded.

Recently, the actress won the National Film Award for her film “Uunchai”. When the news outlet asked her what this win meant to her personally and professionally, she responded, “This award is special for two reasons. One is that it is a National Award. National means India ke sabhi regions ki filmein, bhashayein aur pranto ki filmo mese aap chune jate hai (You are chosen from the films and languages of all regions and states of India). It’s not just from Hindi cinema.”

She added, “It’s a very special award for me because of Sooraj Barjatya. I have been wanting to work with him for the past 35 years, and it just happened, and getting an award with and for his film was a very important thing for me.”

Meanwhile, Neena Gupta last appeared in “Kaagaz 2”.
