EXCLUSIVE: Neena Gupta opens up on dealing with her mother’s death: I didn’t cry; was angry at her for leaving me

Losing a parent is a pain that is incomparable to any other sorrow and only those suffer have known the misery. Neena Gupta, who is currently basking in the glory of her latest release Sardar Ka Grandson, recalled how she dealt with the situation when her mother passed away. Neena was filming for Khaandan when she was hit with this unfortunate turn of events. In an exclusive chat with us, Neena said that she found it difficult to perform an emotional scene amidst the sadness because she felt raged at her mother for leaving her.

Neena told Bollywood Bubble that it was ‘very difficult’ dealing with her mother’s death, “I remember I had a shooting for Khaandan series and it was last few episodes left and my mother passed away. I had to go to Delhi and I was very angry. I was very angry that she left me and I was not crying I was looking after the guests because I was ‘angry’.”

She continued, “I had to come back in three days time because it was TV serial and it has to air, so I had to come back. I came back, I remember; its so funny, I had a very sad scene to perform in the series so I’m thinking while coming back, now I can perform very well because I’m so sad but I couldn’t perform. So this thing about method acting that you are sad then you can perform a sad scene well, but what happened to me that after my mother passed away, I started looking for a family and then I went and did some wrong things because I wanted a family and that was not a correct family I went for.”

Neena said that she had to come to terms as this was the way of life, “I really needed an anchor and she was my anchor. Then my dad later on came and stayed with me. So it is very difficult but life goes on, dusre din toh khaana bhi khaahi lete hai na. That is how god has made us, ke kaam toh chalta hi rehta hai.”
