Quotes
Neena Gupta
Veteran actor with a career spanning over four decades.
“I often think that compared to many heroines today, I could have done a better job and even looked better. These thoughts do come, but what is the point?”
NDTV
“It was my fault because I didn't always have the patience. I looked for the wrong things. Most of the time, I had low self-esteem, and I believe these factors hampered my growth. I also didn't have anyone to guide me, no godmother or godfather. Eventually, I realised this industry is a business. There's nothing emotional about it. I didn't understand the rules or the game.”
