Neena Gupta has often spoken about raising Masaba alone after Vivian refused to leave his family for her. In an interview with Times of India, Neena said that she was always confident that she would make ends meet one way or the other. The actor, who shifted from New Delhi to Mumbai for better opportunities, had shared that no job was big or small for her and she found strength in her confidence.
Neena had also shared that she never asked for financial help from her brother or father, and her biggest inspiration was her mother, who taught her to never look down upon any job. In 2017, Neena had created an uproar when she tweeted about being out of work and looking for better work opportunities. She had tweeted, “I live in mumbai and i am working and i am a good actress koee kam hai toe batao.”
