Hey guys, this is the story of a woman who had chosen an different path, in the those times, which other women wouldn't had thought of. From being a single mother before wedlock or raising a child boldly to marrying at the age of 60. Her story admired me lot. So let's talk about her. Her name is Neena gupta an actress, an director, theatre artist but behind this all glamorous silver screen, she fought many taboos and battles by herself. Born in 1954,in a simple middle class family , after her graduation joined national school of drama in Delhi. After certain auditions and certain plays in theaters, she got opportunity to work in movie, even in those time, she didn't typical heroine role. But who knows that her personal life will affect her proffesional life too. She was engaged with pandit jasraj son and before few days, he broke engagement without providing any reason, as a woman even i could feel her pain,the pain she would have gone through, because it's not easy to move on specially for a woman to move on speedily, because it breaks your heart when someone suddenly leaves you, after giving a hope for a better life. As she was going from this trauma, life selected an different path for her. Once in a free time, when she was watching a cricket match on T. V, she saw the captain of the team almost like crying after losing the match. That captain was Sir. Vivian Richards (ace cricketer) of his times, at that time she felt that, wow this man is so real and it attracted her lot. Who knew that this attraction has already a story written by God. So while shooting in Jaipur, she saw Vivian and his West Indian team in same hotel, she and her colleagues dining. They just exchange an glance. After some days they even boarded to same flight, so destiny diehardly trying to make it happen, an old woman exchanged her seat with Vivian because she was with little kid, and then Vivian and neena got seat nearby and thus the communication began and slowly after that boarding they came in contact, and both attracted towards each other ended up having an affair. But problem happened when neena became pregnant which was unplanned, her whole family and close friends were shocked. All adviced her to abort because our society doesn't accept child without marriage. But neena decided to give birth, Vivian was okay with her decision but he couldn't marry her, as he was already married with a carribian woman. In his culture, it's totally cool. She got many hatred messages from our society as she had child before marriage which is probably considered as impure decision. According to a woman psychology, a woman get connected to the baby in her womb, not only physically but emotionally too. Aborting and not aborting child have their own pros and cons . Neena says that sometimes she have regrets of taking these tough decisions because she says, this decision affected her daughter childhood vastly, she used to often get bully by her school friends due to unusual body, looks, skin tone and not getting a father's love. Although she raised her so well and today she is successful fashion designer but raising her single handly was not very simple. As she have to fulfill all responsibilities but she says that her father supported during that time and she feels lucky. He used to take care of masaba when she used to be on shoot. All this steps were unusual and created an strong bitchy image by media .but best thing she is proud of her decisions too. She found love again before some years with Vivek Mehra. Even Vivian meets sometimes masaba thus after having so difficulties too, she prooved a woman once decided can go to any extent specially for her child and also created her way on her feet. She always felt that the difficulties she faced, masaba should never go through. Masaba says she is proud of her mother and her decisions, because despite several odd, she gave her life and made her strong, independent woman .
