Recently, Neena Gupta found herself at the center of swirling pregnancy rumors after some posts gained traction online, leaving many surprised. Given that the esteemed actress is in her mid-60s, fans began to question the authenticity of these claims. However, without any credible confirmation, a significant number of people chose not to believe that she was expecting. At 66, Neena, who is married to chartered accountant Vivek Mehra, continues to win hearts with her recent works like Panchayat, Metro... In Dino, Masaba Masaba, and Vadh 2. The couple exchanged vows in a private ceremony in the United States back in 2008.

The rumors began when Neena attended the wedding reception of actors Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna in Hyderabad. Dressed in an elegant white saree with a halter neck, she caught attention not just for her outfit but also for the unexpected claims about her possibly having a baby bump. Some netizens even referenced her acclaimed film Badhaai Ho (2018), where her character experiences pregnancy in her 50s.

Neena Gupta's Response to the Rumors

Embracing her playful side, Neena responded to the rumors with her characteristic humor. In a recent interview, she quipped, "This is all I need, a real-life Badhaai Ho." She clarified, "There is no Badhaai Ho. I am not pregnant. The saree material was thick, which made me look bulky at the event. But I must say, I love all this speculation about my pregnancy at my age. It shows we are evolving as a nation," she added.

Neena Gupta is celebrated as one of India's most inspiring female artists. She has always been candid about her past relationship with the legendary West Indies cricketer Vivian Richards during the 1980s. Their romance occurred while Richards was still married, and Neena later became a single mother after having their child, a bold choice for that era in India.

Their daughter, Masaba Gupta, has emerged as a prominent fashion designer and actress in her own right.

Neena eventually met Vivek Mehra, whom she reportedly encountered on a flight, and they quickly formed a strong connection, leading to their marriage. In her autobiography Sach Kahun Toh, she candidly discusses love, relationships, and the societal stigma surrounding single motherhood in the 1980s, along with her perspectives on self-reliance and marrying later in life.
