"I suddenly felt choked with guilt and shame because I didn't really know what I had just done," wrote Neena Gupta
Neena Gupta's career revival after the release of 2018 film Badhaai Ho has been something of a phenomenon in the notoriously unforgiving world of Hindi cinema. The actress, in her recently-released memoir Sach Kahun Toh recalled the time when she asked for work in an Instagram post. In a chapter dedicated to what led up to the post and its aftermath, the veteran actress confessed that she was "choked with guilt and shame" after sharing the post. The reason was her daughter Masaba Gupta, who is a successful designer and made her acting debut with Netflix's Masaba Masaba. "The media I could handle; my friends asking me if I was okay, if my life and marriage was okay, I could handle. What was scaring me was my daughter, a widely recognised and famous fashion designer and public figure, Masaba Gupta would say." Much to Neena Gupta's surprise, her daughter gave the actress a huge shout out on social media. "As I waited for a call or an angry text, expecting yet another lesson in social media, I received a long and beautiful message from my daughter who had shared my post with her followers," she added. This is the post Masaba Gupta had shared back then:
