Neena Gupta, whose autobiography ‘Sach Kahun Toh’ hit the stands on June 14, dropped by legendary lyricist Gulzar’s residence recently to gift him the book.
The ‘Badhai Ho!’ star then shared a video on her Instagram handle, wherein she can be heard saying that she’s there to hand her book to Gulzar and asking him if he would like to read it.
Neena received several compliments on her social media account.
To quote Anil Kapoor for one: “Fab Neena… looking forward to reading your book.” Social media influencer Dolly Singh said that ‘Neena Gupta was very cute’ and ‘Maanvi Gagroo’ said that only Neena could do what she did.
However, Neena’s account did receive some critical comments too.
Neena, who had donned a floral co-ord set with white shoes and sunglasses was told by one user: “Gulzar sahab k pass aap gaye the wo time aapko saadi pehen kr jana chahiye tha…sorry….kyuki Gulzar sahab Gulzar sahab hai.” Another user wrote: “Age ke hisab se chalo madam.” A third one wrote: “Ye sab gandgi hai aunty ji !!! Western culture bilkul kharab hai ! Or aap ye Jante hue bhi inka anusarn kar rahe ho ! Toh aaj ke bache apni history or religion ke bar mai kya hi jaan na pasand karenge !? Jab aap jaise log maail se bhari western culture ki chadar ohd lenge.”
ETimes had a quick word with Neena, an hour ago.
She said, “I fail to understand when anybody writes that I have been trolled for this.
It’s plain rubbish.
What’s the definition of ‘trolling’? Doesn’t it mean that several people are criticising you? Look at the amount of praises I’ve received.
Should I really even bother about just 2 or 4 people?”
Would she like to say anything whatsoever to her detractors, we asked? “Why? Why should I give any importance to 2 to 4 people when they comprise of just a scanty per cent which is in contrast to those who’ve loved me for this?”
On the work front, Neena Gupta was recently seen in two Arjun Kapoor films – ‘Sardar Ka Grandson’ and ‘Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar’.
The former had Rakul Preet Singh and the latter, Parineeti Chopra, in the female lead roles.
