Actress Neena Gupta, in an interview with India time, opened up about when she told him girl Masaba Gupta about her decision to marry Delhi-based accountant Vivek Mehra. Masaba was born to former West Indian cricketer Neena Gupta and Vivian Richards when they were a couple in the 1980s. While Vivian Richards is married to Miriam, Neena Gupta married Vivek Mehra in 2008, while Masaba was 19 years old. “Frankly, I didn’t have to tell him. Vivek and I were 8-10 years old; he used to stay at my house in Mumbai and I often went to Delhi,” Neena Gupta told TOI. However, Neena Gupta also shared how Masaba had reacted when she told him the news of the wedding: “Yes, precisely speaking, when I told Masaba that I wanted to get married, she wanted to know why. I told him marriage is important if you have to live in this society otherwise you don’t get respect. “
Neena Gupta, who shares a very close bond with her daughter Masaba, confessed that bringing the subject up to Masaba was a bit ‘awkward’ for her but it went well: “And, Masaba understood me. Masaba is someone who will do anything for their mother’s happiness whether they like it or not. So I wasn’t worried. I just felt a little uncomfortable telling her that. “
In 2018, Masaba shared a look back at Neena Gupta and Vivek Mehra’s wedding, writing: “I love you both.”
