In converation with Bollywood Bubble, Anupam reflected on how the portrayal of romance in older age has evolved in modern cinema. He noted that acting today leans more toward authenticity rather than performance. While working with Neena Gupta, he felt that the sensibilities of both the actors and the director, Anurag Basu, played a key role in shaping the story. He pointed out that in the past, love stories featuring older characters were often treated comically or unrealistically, but now there's a more believable approach—even when depicting a 60 or 65-year-old man falling in love with someone of similar or younger age.
Neena said that intimacy between older couples should be shown with sensitivity. She stressed that after a certain age, physical closeness on screen must look graceful, not vulgar, and it depends on both the director and actor to get that right.
The actress further highlighted that age should never be seen as a barrier to romance. She pointed out that many people, especially women in India, often assume that love and desire fade after a certain age. However, she sees middle-aged women today staying fit and active, proving that the desire for companionship and romance still exists—and should be embraced.

Tanuj Virwani reveals he wishes to be 'celebrity fixer' to Kangana Ranaut: 'I feel the focus sometimes tends to be more on her private life...'

Anupam Kher and Neena Gupta on love, communication and Gen-Z dating terms: ‘Mujhe ab commit nahi karna hai'
Anupam Kher and Neena Gupta , who will soon be seen in Anurag Basu's much-anticipated upcoming film Metro... In Dino, recently shared their thoughts on love and the importance of communication in relationships. When Neena Gupta was asked about her familiarity with Gen-Z dating terms like breadcrumbing, benching, situationship, and others, she told Bollywood Bubble, 'Masaba hai na meri beti, uski wajah se mujhe sab pata hota hai. Aur bhi kya kya suna hoga, it's unbelievable.' To this, Anupam Kher added, 'Now we have reached a point where we will start talking in languages that were spoken in olden times.' Neena interjected with a reality check, 'Yeh kitne per cent log honge iss population mein jo aisa bolte honge? Humaari population abhi tak rural areas mein auratein hongi with ghunghat. Bachpan mein economics mein padha hoga — 80% of our population is rural. We assume duniya badal gayi hai…' Sharing his perspective on communication in a relationship, Kher said, 'Pyaar toh communication, shabdon se hota hai na? If words are not communicated well, how will love be complete? 'I love you' ka abhi short form ho gaya hai — ILU.' Neena added, 'This is actually a clever thing — ki mujhe ab relationship se door jaana hai, commit nahi karna hai.' Elaborating further, Anupam Kher spoke about how people today often act overly self-sufficient. 'Aisa ho nahi sakta hai ki aapko kisi ki zarurat nahi hai. You need people in life — not just as a companion.'
