Neena Gupta refuses to share her age

Neena Gupta recently appeared on Lilly Singh`s podcast. The conversation started with Neena being questioned about her age, and quite bluntly, the actress refused to answer, stating professional hindrance. The actress said, “That I will never tell. You know why? Because I look much younger than my age. If I reveal it, I already get older women’s roles—then who knows what I’ll get? I won’t get anything! So, for professional reasons, I won’t say it.”

She further continued and talked about how she has already struggled enough and added, “I have already struggled to break out of certain images because of the media, and this will just reinforce it. People will think, ‘Oh, she’s so old, let’s cast a younger actress,’ instead of considering that I actually look younger. Meanwhile, men my age are still playing heroes, and I get offered grandmother roles—that’s just how it is. So, I won’t say it.”

Neena Gupta thinks ‘sex is a very overrated’

When chatting about how she doesn`t whisper the word `sex` anymore, the actress stated how it is highly overrated in India. When asked why she thinks this way, Neena said, “I feel that sex is a very overrated thing, and it makes me feel sad. I`m talking about the 95&#37 or 99&#37 of Indian women who don’t know that sex is meant for enjoyment. For them, it is only about pleasing the man and having babies. All the people here in the studio—we are the minority in India. But for the majority, sex is not about pleasure. So, it is very overrated.”

Neena Gupta will be seen in the next season of her much-loved web series Panchayat. Today, the makers of the series dropped the announcement of the new season, stating that it will premiere on July 2 on Prime Video, continuing the journey of its beloved characters and their unforgettable slice-of-life story.
