What Neena Gupta told daughter Masaba about getting married: Society doesn’t respect you if you’re unmarried

Actor Neena Gupta has stated that her daughter, Masaba, was curious to know why she wished to marry Vivek Mehra. Neena advised her that marriage is necessary, as a result of with out it, it isn’t straightforward to be revered in a society.

She stated that she didn’t have to inform Masaba about her determination to marry Vivek, a chartered accountant, in 2008. But Masaba understood her mom’s causes.

Neena advised The Times of India in an interview, “Frankly, I didn’t have to tell her. Vivek and I were going around for eight to 10 years; he used to come down to my house in Mumbai and I often used to go to Delhi. But yes, precisely speaking, when I told Masaba that I want to get married, she wanted to know why. I told her that marriage is important if you have to live in this society else you don’t get respect.”

Neena continued, “And, Masaba understood me. Masaba is one person who will do anything for her mother’s happiness whether she likes it or not. So, I was not worried. I was just feeling a bit awkward in telling her that.”

 

About making her lengthy distance relationship work, the actor stated, “Toh bhai dekho, woh apna kaam nahi chhodna chahte aur main apna kaam nahi chhodna chahti (So, he doesn’t want to quit his job, and I don’t want to quit mine). I had left work sometime, but I have realised after getting back, work gives me immense happiness. Besides, we are not in that young phase where our kids are small or we have to produce kids. We even got married much later in your life. Sometimes he does say ‘tumko mere saath rehna chahiye (you should live with me) as you’re my wife and then I tell him that aapko mere saath rehna chahiye (you should live with me) as you’re my husband.’”

Neena, in a current look on Neha Dhupia’s chat present, recalled her first assembly with Vivek, which occurred on a flight. “And, just imagine, that is why I believe so much in destiny and fate. I was in business class – Air India, upstairs. He was somewhere behind, but, one lady wanted him to change his seat and that’s how he came and sat besides me. My life would have been so different,” Neena stated.
