Veteran Bollywood actress Neena Gupta has responded to recent pregnancy rumours circulating on social media, clarifying that there is no truth to the speculation. The 66-year-old actress dismissed the claims humorously and said there is “nothing like Badhaai Ho” happening in her life.
Rumours Started After Wedding Reception Appearance
The rumours began after Neena Gupta attended the wedding reception of actors Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna along with her husband Vivek Mehra. Videos from the event went viral on social media, and some users speculated that the actress looked pregnant.
Reacting to the speculation, Neena Gupta said she is not pregnant and that the appearance was simply due to the outfit she was wearing.
Actress Clarifies Reason Behind Viral Speculation
She explained that the saree she wore at the event had thick fabric, which made her look slightly heavier in photos and videos. “There is nothing like Badhaai Ho. I am not pregnant. The saree material was a bit thick, which made me look a little bulky,” she clarified.
Responds In Her Signature Humorous Style
Neena Gupta also reacted to the rumours in a lighthearted way. She said the speculation about her pregnancy at this age actually amused her and reflected changing attitudes in society. According to her, such discussions show how people’s perspectives are evolving.
Known For Her Bold Personal Choices
Neena Gupta has often made headlines for her bold and independent decisions in personal life. In the 1980s, she was in a relationship with former West Indies cricketer Vivian Richards. She chose to give birth to their daughter Masaba Gupta without marriage.
Today, Masaba Gupta is a well-known fashion designer. Neena Gupta has also become a grandmother, as Masaba and her husband Satyadeep Misra welcomed a daughter, Matara, on October 11, 2024.
