Neena Gupta turns heads in plunging neckline dress, reminds girls that ‘confidence has no age limit'
One of the commonly used phrases amongst people is 'Age is just a number', but do people really live by it? Well, we can't say about others, but Neena Gupta is surely living by it to the fullest. She may be in her 60s, but when it comes to her fashion game, she can give even the Gen Z stars a run for their money. The actress who never shies away from wearing fashionable clothes and remains unaffected by the trolls she faces for them, has yet again proved at a recent event that she is here to sla,y and she will continue to do that. Neena Gupta has been promoting her upcoming ensemble cast film for the past couple of days. She has been serving quite sensational looks, and we are not complaining at all. At the trailer launch event of her movie Dino, the veteran actress sizzled in a white kaftan-style plain gown. But what stood out was her plunging neckline that split till her upper abdomen. The neck had big gold buttons that stood out. She wore a golden colored bralette, again with a deep neck, and her look was completed with golden hoops and a bun. We are in awe of her style and cannot get enough of her looks. Just a couple of days back, she wore a light blue colored short A-line dress with white flowers on it. She layered it with the same colored shrug and completed her look with white heels. There is never a dull moment when she has to step out, and her fashion game is always on point. Fans have often showered her with love for her bold choices. It is really commendable for someone her age to have such fashion choices and carry them off so effortlessly and with such confidence. The best part about her is that she can mould herself into a village lady on-screen in Panchayat to a modern diva in real life. Meanwhile, on the work front, Neena Gupta was last seen in Dil Dosti Aur Dogs and Aachaari Baa. Next up, she will be seen in the fourth season of the popular Amazon Prime Video series Panchayat.

Neena Gupta once told Amitabh Bachchan that Ayushmann Khurrana was initially against casting her in Badhaai Ho: ‘She's too hot'; what it takes to prove professional competency
While Neena Gupta won the audience's heart with her character portrayal of an elderly mother who becomes pregnant for the third time even as her first son is soon to get married in Badhaai Ho, the actor revealed that the film's lead, Ayushmann Khurrana, was against casting her. During her appearance on Kaun Banega Crorepati in 2022, she told host and actor Amitabh Bachchan, 'Ayushmann initially said, 'No, Neena Gupta shouldn't be cast because she doesn't look like mom. She's too hot.' So, the makers were not taking me. As they called me to their office, I asked their production assistant what I should wear to look like the character. So, since the character was middle class, I wore a salwar kameez of my cook, house help. So, I asked them, 'Do I look alright?'. They were impressed by the fact that I made the effort.' Eventually, the makers also watched Khujli, a short film with Jackie Shroff, in which she plays a simple, middle-class woman. 'Everyone saw it, including Ayushmann, and then they decided on me,' said Gupta. Taking a cue from her revelation, let's understand what it takes to rise when professional competency is questioned. Gupta's eventual casting in the film and its subsequent success highlight the importance of perseverance. 'Her journey illustrates that with resilience, adaptability, and a commitment to excellence, professionals can transform challenges into stepping stones toward success,' said Dr Chandni Tugnait, psychotherapist, director, Gateway of Healing. Remember, in the face of professional opposition, it's crucial to remain steadfast, seek growth opportunities, and trust in one's abilities, advised Dr Tugnait. 'By doing so, individuals can not only overcome obstacles but also pave the way for future achievements and fulfillment,' said Dr Tugnait. To prove yourself, stay consistent in your efforts and align your actions with your values. 'Focus on continuous growth, not immediate approval. Take setbacks as learning opportunities and keep refining your skills. Stay disciplined, set clear goals, and maintain a positive mindset. Surround yourself with supportive people who believe in your vision and keep your long-term goals in sight,' said Dr Tugnait.
