Veteran actress Neena Gupta has always been a trailblazer, challenging societal norms throughout her life. In the ’90s, when single parenting was frowned upon, Neena chose to become a mother without marriage, defying conventional expectations. At 52, she made a remarkable comeback in Bollywood with the film Badhaai Ho.
Recently, on August 20, 2024, Neena was spotted in the city, flaunting a youthful outfit consisting of a red Levis T-shirt and denim shorts. She paired the look with a side-sling bag and gum boots, keeping her style sporty and casual. She opted for a no-makeup look, letting her natural beauty shine through with her hair left open.

While many admired Neena Gupta‘s bold fashion statement, others on social media criticized her choice of attire, expressing their displeasure.
Despite the backlash, some fans defended her, appreciating her spirit and urging others to learn from her approach to health and beauty. One netizen even commented,
“Wow, the coming generations should follow such health and beauty formulas. Those making fun of her will be walking with a cane at 65.”
However, not everyone was impressed. Some users felt her outfit was inappropriate, with one commenting,
“Sorry, she’s not looking good—not because of her age, but the dressing sense is off.”
Another suggested that her daughter Masaba should guide her in fashion, while a third remarked,
“She looks 65…wearing small clothes doesn’t make one young.”
Neena Gupta has been a prominent figure in the film industry since the 1980s, experiencing both success and challenges. In an interview with Bollywood Bubble, she recalled a distressing incident from her early career when a director insulted her with harsh language in front of others.
In a podcast with Ranveer, Neena shared her views on feminism, describing it as “faltu” (useless). She emphasized the importance of financial independence and self-respect over the notion of equality, stating, “Men and women are not equal. The day men start getting pregnant, we will be equal.”
On a personal note, Neena is eagerly anticipating the arrival of her grandchild, as her daughter Masaba is currently pregnant.
