Veteran actress Neena Gupta celebrated her 66th birthday in a bold, fashion-forward way.
Celebrating the event with her upcoming movie Metro.... In Dino's cast and crew Neena became the focus during the trailer launch, not only because of her accomplishment but also because of her eye-catching ensemble, which sparked discussion and admiration on social media.
She made a statement wearing a striking white 'Rann Kaftan' and a golden 'Biscuit Bra' adorned with house charms, both from her daughter Masaba Gupta's clothing line, House of Masaba.
Co-stars Aditya Roy Kapur, Sara Ali Khan, Konkona Sensharma, Pankaj Tripathi, and director Anurag Basu joined in the birthday festivities at a press event. Neena took centre stage as the group talked about their eagerly awaited movie.
As images from the event began circulating online, fans flooded the internet with admiration for Neena’s fearless sense of style and her refusal to conform to ageist expectations. However, not all feedback was kind—some online trolls criticised the outfit, claiming she should “dress according to her age.”
Supporters were quick to counter the negativity. One user passionately defended her, saying, “How can you expect women to be this confident when they’re bashed left, right and centre.” Another remarked, “Skin show & confidence is not the point here. It’s about her living her life on her own terms by wearing what she likes."
The celebration was made even more memorable by the Metro...In Dino team's thoughtful addition of a bouquet for Neena. The trailer for the upcoming movie teases a sweet romantic subplot between Neena and Anupam Kher's characters, evoking memories of Life in A... Metro, the well-liked 2007 movie that examined complex human relationships.
The film promises to explore mature and heartfelt narratives.
On and off screen, Neena Gupta has consistently defied social conventions throughout her career. From being a single mother raising her daughter Masaba Gupta to making daring fashion choices in her sixties, Neena remains a representation of strength, style, and individuality.
Neena, who has been married to chartered accountant Vivek Mehra since 2008, prefers to maintain a low profile in her personal life while still defying public stereotypes.
