From being a single mother to pursuing an acting career and keeping her cool to being a ‘love child’ in the media, Neena Gupta’s life has been full of ups and downs. Is. However, at the age of 42, Neena finally found love with Vivek Mehra, a Delhi-based chartered accountant whom she married in 2008. Neena’s relationship with Sir Vivian Richards has always been one and on Saturday, fashion designer Masaba Gupta shared an unseen picture of her parents, so we take a look back at Neena Gupta and Sir Vivian Richards’ love story. I thought about going back in time.
Neena Gupta and Vivian Richard’s love story
Nina Gupta and Vivian Richard’s romance began in the late 1980s. The West Indies cricket team landed in India for a series led by captain Vivian Richard, who was very fond of women. Let us tell you that at that time Vivian was married (though separated) and had two children. Media reports suggest that Neena met Vivian at a party in Mumbai and even though the two had nothing in common, sparks flew between them. Neena Gupta soon became pregnant with a child but marrying Vivian was completely impossible.
child out of wedlock was unacceptable
Neena Gupta was brought up by conservative parents and having children out of wedlock was not common in those days. In fact even today celebrities would think twice before loving their child, the way celebs command. However, Neena Gupta was not one to fear the society or its conservative norms. She stood against the wishes of her friends and family as she proceeded to give birth to her love child, Masaba Gupta.
Masaba was called an illegitimate West-Indian
Talking about her father Sir Vivian Richards in a 2017 interview, Masaba said, ‘I have deep respect and love for both my parents. They are both their own kind of people, successful and yet not moving with the herd. Back in time when I was 8 to 14 years old, I remember holidays with my father. He was very active in commentary then, traveling the world and he used to visit India often. I have never lived with him but mother and I go on holidays with him. Even though Masaba was never with her father in her childhood, Neena was always with her. However, he had his own struggles. From revealing her father’s name to a journalist to being called an illegitimate West-Indian, Masaba has had her own journey.
