After A Viral Post, Neena Gupta Throws Light On Why Bollywood Has Stopped Casting Her
Sitting and pondering over situations that you can't change and circumstances that are not under your control helps no one. For actress Neena Gupta, she chose the option of asking for help when she thought she really needed.
National award winner and TV-film actress Neena Gupta took to Instagram a few days back to ask for work. With all her grace and humility intact, she posted, "I live in Mumbai and working am a good actor looking fr good parts to play."
In no time, the post became viral on the internet and people started talking about her. Some were startled, some praised her for being humble and not shying away from asking for help. However, everyone had just one question, why is she not being offered shows and films.
After her viral post, she spoke to Hindustan Times and chose to reveal the truth behind it. She said,
¡°Everybody thinks that after my marriage, I have moved to Delhi and I don¡¯t work anymore. So, I get so put off and then I see so many roles being offered to other actors of my age.¡±
She also revealed how once, a filmmaker friend of hers chose someone else over her because he thought she had stopped working. She went on to point out a fact that if one commercial film ends up becoming a big hit, people want to typecast the actor and give her only that kind of roles, that exhausts an actor's versatility and the possibility of trying out everything.
Neena's post was also appreciated by her daughter and ace-designer Masaba Gupta who wrote a heart-warming post for her mother. She wrote,
Even Priyanka Chopra couldn't stop herself from making a comment on the post and she dropped a 'So inspired' on Neena's post.
Considering the amount of talent this woman possesses, we hope the universe turns fair for Neena Gupta and she really gets the roles she deserves. Everyone deserves a second chance in life, isn't it?
