At the Times Literature Festival, Neena Gupta said that she has never seen a happy marriage and that it is always full of compromises.

"I haven¡¯t seen a happy marriage around me so I don't know. It¡¯s always full of compromises. I don¡¯t have an answer to this question myself. Each individual has to make their own choice according to what they¡¯re looking for in life," she said.

Earlier, Gupta had revealed that when she was pregnant with Masaba outside of wedlock, she was told to marry a gay man. In her autobiography titled Sach Kahun Toh, she said several friends including Satish Kaushik offered to marry her, and a friend suggested she should marry a gay man to avoid societal pressures.

"I laughed them off because I didn't feel right about getting married just to avoid controversy. I knew I would have to answer very difficult questions. Being a public figure meant that our lives, mine and my child's, would always be up for speculation. But I told myself I would cross that bridge when I come to it. Until then, I would hide behind loose clothes for as long as I could," said Neena.
