Neena Gupta recounts pregnancy rumour after saree slip
Hindustan Times··11 Sept
Actor Neena Gupta said a saree adjustment that looked bulky at her waist led people to ask if she was pregnant at age 60. She told News18 she asked her team to say she was pregnant so the questions would stop. On marriage queries she said she is not dependent on the asker. She stars in Netflix’s Chumbak.
