Neena Gupta on being judged by people

When asked if the judgements of people were less back in the day compared to today’s generation. The Badhaai Ho actor said, “No no, it was more back then. The judgements back then were a lot more compared to today’s time. I have faced those challenges and I have been judged like that in every way and in a negative way and I have seen that and suffered it. But the judgements are quite less in today’s time. I feel the self-confidence of the younger generation is quite commendable. I have worked with so many youngsters and become friends regardless of what characters we play onscreen.“

Neena Gupta on being a single mother

Talking about the struggles of being a single mother, she said, “I had to earn and had very little time. My dad was living with me and Masaba. I used to work for 12-14 hours as I used to do Television. I used to come home feeling tired and had no strength.
