Neena Gupta once recalled being homeless after being thrown out of her aunt's house with baby Masaba Gupta: ‘I had nowhere to go'
Neena Gupta once shared a very personal and difficult part of her life. After the birth of her daughter, Masaba Gupta , Neena faced a shocking challenge — she was thrown out of her aunt's house in the middle of the night. In a chat earlier this year on YouTube channel, the veteran actress opened up about one of the most painful moments in her life. Neena's life in Mumbai The 'Badhaai Ho' actress moved to Mumbai from Delhi in the 1980s to build her acting career. Instead of renting homes, she always preferred to sell and upgrade. But during one such transition, things didn't go as planned. She had just sold her house and used the money to book a new flat in a builder's project. While waiting for her new home to be ready, she needed a place to stay. So, she turned to family. The 'Goodbye' actress shared, 'I shifted to my aunt's house, where I had stayed before. I thought I stayed there so much of the time, and I just came back to my house to sleep. Since Masaba was little then, my aunt used to help in looking after the baby.' 'She kicked me out': The shocking night Everything seemed fine at first. Neena had already informed her uncle and aunt that she would be staying with them for a while since she didn't have a house at the time. They agreed. But suddenly, things took a harsh turn. She said, 'But one day, she threw me out in the middle of the night; she kicked me out. I had no money left. There was this one night where I had nowhere to go with a baby.' A dusty, abandoned shelter Neena's uncle felt guilty about the way things had happened. Wanting to help, he offered her a house in Juhu that had been closed for 20 years. The place was in bad shape, but she had no other option. She further shared, 'My uncle felt very bad, so he shifted me to his mother-in-law's house in Juhu, which had been shut for 20 years. There were cobwebs in the house; it looked rusty. I went there, and I cleaned that house with a small baby. But soon, I was asked to leave that house as well.' Once again, Neena and baby Masaba were left without a home. With nowhere else to go, Neena decided to speak directly to the builder from whom she had booked the new flat. She explained her tough situation and asked for her money back. Thankfully, the builder agreed and returned the full amount. With this money, Neena was finally able to buy a house in Aram Nagar. Neena and Masaba Gupta Neena Gupta gave birth to Masaba in 1989. At that time, she was in a relationship with West Indies cricketer Vivian Richards . Raising her daughter alone, she faced many challenges both in her personal life and in public. Later, in 2008, Neena found love again and married Vivek Mehra in a quiet ceremony.
