Did you know Neena Gupta agreed to do ‘Badhaai Ho’ without even reading the script?

Picture this you are in your 20s and then all of a sudden your parents announce that they are pregnant again? How embarrassing would that be? Wouldn’t it? Well, that’s the exact plotline of director Amit Sharma’s upcoming comedy-drama ‘Badhaai Ho‘.

The trailer of this Ayushmann Khurrana and Sanya Malhotra starrer that was unveiled yesterday took the internet by storm. The film’s unconventional storyline and the hilarious trailer was liked by one and all. Veteran actress Neena Gupta took everyone by surprise as she is playing Ayushmann’s mother in the film, who is expecting once again after several years of marriage!

When asked about what made her chose this unusual script, the actress told IANS, “I did not even read the script of the film because the subject was so interesting. Female actors of our age don’t get a chance to play such interesting characters. This phase of our life is not addressed only in our Hindi cinema. But I think the change is happening because of the youngsters who are writing such scripts.” 

We are glad that Neena took up this project because we are pretty sure that watching her in this comedy-drama is going to be a treat for all of us. Written by Shantanu Srivastava, ‘Badhaai Ho’ is scheduled to release October 19, 2018.

The National Award winning actress was last seen in Anubhav Sinha’s ‘Mulk’ and Shashanka Ghosh’s Veere Di Wedding’.
