Neena Gupta Stuns In Gold ‘Biscuit Bra' On 66th Birthday; Fans Defend Her Against Ageist Trolls
Last Updated:
Neena Gupta has consistently broken stereotypes, both in her professional and personal life. She famously had a child out of wedlock with legendary cricketer Vivian Richards.
Veteran actress Neena Gupta turned 66 this week and marked the occasion in her signature bold style. Celebrating her birthday with the cast and crew of her upcoming film Metro In Dino, Neena stole the spotlight in a statement outfit that quickly set social media abuzz.
Joining Neena at the press event were co-stars Aditya Roy Kapur, Sara Ali Khan, Konkona Sensharma, Pankaj Tripathi, and director Anurag Basu. While the team discussed the much-awaited release, all eyes were on Neena, who wore a striking white 'Rann Kaftan' layered with a gold 'Biscuit Bra' adorned with house charms. The ensemble came from her daughter Masaba Gupta's fashion label, House of Masaba.
While fans flooded social media with praises for her fearless fashion sense, some ageist trolls criticised the look, suggesting she should 'dress according to her age." However, fans quickly came to her defence. One user wrote, 'How can you expect women to be this confident when they're bashed left, right and centre." Another said, 'Skin show & confidence is not the point here. It's about her living her life on her own terms by wearing what she likes."

Neena has long been applauded for her unapologetic attitude toward life and style. For her birthday, the Metro In Dino team presented her with a bouquet, marking a sweet and supportive gesture from her co-stars.
The film's trailer hints at a tender love story between Neena's and Anupam Kher's characters, echoing themes from its predecessor, Life In A… Metro. The original film was praised for its mature portrayal of romance, and fans are eager to see how Metro In Dino explores these dynamics once again.
Neena Gupta has consistently broken stereotypes, both in her professional and personal life. She famously had a child out of wedlock with legendary cricketer Vivian Richards. Their daughter Masaba is now one of India's most celebrated fashion designers. Neena married Chartered Accountant Vivek Mehra in 2008, and the couple largely keeps their life away from public scrutiny.
