EXCLUSIVE: Neena Gupta opens up on negative media coverage on her: Jo meri image banayi, mujhe bohot nuksaan hua kaam mai

Actress Neena Gupta is one of the leading stars of Bollywood currently. But in the 80s, it was not a smooth journey for her. She appeared in several movies and shows but got recognition much later. In Bollywood Bubble’s Memory Lane, the actress recalled her time during that era. From giving auditions in the 80s to the media coverage that made a wrong image of her, leading to a lull, financial struggles and thoughts of leaving this career, the actress revisited it all. Neena said that she got famous in Mumbai for an ad. It was a big hit. After that the big thing of her career was Khandaan which was a hit television series. She played a strong woman in it for which she started getting stereotyped and was offered only negative roles in the early days of her career that were not up to the mark. But she got recognition from Saans and Badhaai Ho.

On the negative media coverage, the Goodbye actress said, “Agar aap public life mai hain, toh aapko aapni private life bohot savdhanise rakhni chahiye. Quiet rakhni chahiye. Kyunki uska fayda log uthayenge otherwise aur kaam mai nuksaan hua mujhe. Media ne jo meri image banayi, mujhe bohot nuksaan hua kaam mai. (If you are in public life, you have to keep your private life quiet. Because people take advantage of it otherwise and it affected my work. The image media has made of me has affected my work)” She regrets making her private life open to the public.
