Neena Gupta and Viv Richards Relationship
It was the late 1980s when the West Indies team toured India for a series under the captaincy of flamboyant Viv Richards. Neena and Viv met at a party and soon love was in the air. Neena was soon pregnant and she decided to keep it.
Having a child out of wedlock was unheard of then in India and very few would dare to take such a step. Neena was a celebrity then and celebrities remain under constant scanner from the Media and society.
Masaba was born in 1989 and the whole media went crazy. Many reporters even searched for her birth certificate to find out her father’s name. So media houses even printed stories with headlines like ” illegal west Indian child.”
Neena did not care about the media who was printing negative reports about her but her career suffered due to it. The offers dried up and the handful which came her way were negative or vamp characters.
But she needed work and money so she accepted almost all that came in her way. In a recent interview, Neena said that she did not have the luxury of saying no to any offer which she has now. She also said that she never poisoned her daughter against her father.
Also, she said that when she was pregnant, Satish Kaushik, a well-known director, and actor proposed to her for marriage. He said to Neena that if the child is born with dark skin then he will tell it is his child, so no one will have any doubt. And then they will get married.
Responding to the claims in Neena Gupta’s Autobiography “Sach Kahun To” Satish Kaushik confirmed that he indeed said this as he considered her a good friend and did not want her to suffer.
Neena and Satish were good friends and did two movies Mandi and Jane Bhi do Yaaro in 1983.
Marriage
In 2008 Neena got married to Delhi-based Charted accountant Vinod Mehra. They are happily married and going strong.
In 2002, Neena Gupta met Vivek Mehra on a flight. Nina was 42 years old at the time. Vivek Mehra works as a Chartered Accountant in Delhi.

Neena and her husband mostly don’t stay together due to their work. Vivek mostly stays in Delhi while Neena Gupta stays in Mumbai for her work.
