Shocking! Neena Gupta calls Shah Rukh Khan and Karan Johar ‘cheap’ for not picking her calls

Yesteryear actress Neena Gupta has been opening up about a lot of things regarding her daughter ever since the divorce. In her recent interview with Rajeev Masand, the ‘Badhaai Ho’ actress spoke at length about her career, and also about her designer daughter Masaba Gupta’s wish to become an actress. During the interview, she also called  Shah Rukh Khan and Karan Johar ‘cheap’ and ‘mean’.

Rajeev Masand told Neena that Shah Rukh Khan and Karan Johar once told him that she met both on a flight, to which Neena said, “Yeah! So mean and cheapy kind of people. They gave me their number and then phone hi nahi uthate the (didn’t attend my calls).” Rajeev then added saying, “Because you wanted them to convince Masaba not to act.”

Neena revealed the reason why she didn’t encourage Masaba to enter Bollywood. She said: “I told her ‘If you want to be an actor then you go abroad. Jis tarah tumhara shakal hai, body hai, tumhe yahan Indian milieu mein bahot kam role milenge (The way you look, the way you body is, you will get very few roles in the Indian milieu) even if you become a good actor. So tumko woh heroine nahin milegi. Toh Hema Malini nahin banoge, Alia Bhatt nahin banoge (You will never become a heroine, you will never become Hema Malini, you will never become an Alia Bhatt)’.”

Neena Gupta was last seen in the Ayushmann Khurrana starrer ‘Badhaai Ho’. She will next be seen in “Gwalior’ and ‘Panga’.
