Neena Gupta is all set to launch her autobiography, ‘Sach Kahun Toh’ on June 14. The book chronicles her childhood days in Delhi to moving to Bombay in the 1980s and dealing with the struggles to find work. It also talks about her unconventional pregnancy and single parenthood, and successful second innings in Bollywood.
Ahead of the book release, her daughter-fashion designer Masaba gave a sneak peek into her mother’s upcoming memoirs on her Instagram that revealed Neena’s financial situation at the time her and cricketer Viv Richards’s daughter Masaba was born.
Masaba captioned her post, “An excerpt from ‘Sach Kahun Toh’ by @neena_gupta: When I was born, my mum had ₹2000/- in her bank account. A timely tax reimbursement would bump that number up to ₹12,000/- and of course I was a C-section baby. As I read mom’s biography I learn so many things & the hardships she has had to endure. I work very hard every single day of my life & never ever let anyone not give me what I deserve only to make sure I can pay her back for bringing me into this world…..with interest! #sachkahuntoh #neenagupta @neena_gupta | You can pre-order the book now on @amazondotin.”

The excerpt read, “As my due date approached, I started to worry because I had very little money in my account. I could afford a natural birth because it would cost only ₹2000. But I knew if I had to have a C-section, I would be in trouble because the surgery cost almost ₹10,000. Luckily, a tax reimbursement of ₹9000 came through a few days before my delivery and I finally ended up with ₹]12,000 in my bank account.”
The mother-daughter will soon appear in the Netflix series ‘Masaba Masaba.’
