Why Did Neena Gupta’s Pregnancy Rumours Make Headlines?
It all started after Neena Gupta made a public appearance during the recent wedding reception of actors Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna in Hyderabad. When Neena arrived for the event, she posed for the paparazzi. Soon after her videos were shared on social media, a section of netizens claimed that the actress appeared to have a baby bump.
Neena Gupta’s Controversial Past
Neena Gupta has lived one of the most unconventional and openly discussed lives in the Indian film industry. The actress has often made headlines not just for her performances but also for her personal choices. In the 1980s, Neena Gupta’s relationship with former West Indies cricketer Viv Richards became widely talked about. At a time when conversations around relationships outside marriage were considered taboo in India, Gupta chose to keep her child and raise her independently. She gave birth to her daughter, fashion designer Masaba Gupta, and openly embraced single motherhood despite facing social criticism and scrutiny.
For many years, Gupta balanced her acting career while raising her daughter largely on her own. She later revealed in interviews and her memoir that the journey was not easy, as she struggled both personally and professionally.
Later in life, Gupta found stability and happiness when she married Delhi-based chartered accountant Vivek Mehra in 2008.
