Neena Gupta Opens Up About Her Love For West Indies Cricketer, Vivian Richards

Bollywood's veteran actress, Neena Gupta has often been judged because of her life decision of having a child out of wedlock in the '90s. The 61-year-old actress has always been vocal about being a single mother before marriage and then finding the right partner and tying the knot in 2008. In fact, Neena Gupta has never shied away from accepting that she was madly in love with West Indies cricketer, Vivian Richards and that is the reason why she gave birth to their love child.

For those who don't know, Neena and Vivian's love affair had brewed during a party, where they had first met. However, Vivian was already married at that time and even had two children. But as they say, love is blind, and Neena was just madly in love with the cricketer.

Recently, in an interview with Bollywood Bubble, Neena opened up on her relationship with Vivian. She shared that she had decided to give birth to Vivian's child because of her love for him. She said, "I had Masaba because I loved Vivian. And if you love somebody, you can’t hate somebody like that. You may not live or do things together – woh dheere dheere pata chalta hai (you get to know that slowly). But you can’t hate. Aisa toh nahi hota ki aaj love hai toh kal suddenly you hate (You can't love someone one and hate them the next)."

Neena’s personal life has been filled with gloomy days and storms, but despite it all, she has been living her life with dignity. While Neena is considered an inspiration, she has gone on record to say that she will never advise anyone to become a single mother. In an interview with the Mumbai Mirror, Neena had revealed the reason behind her thought and had said, “I would not have a child outside marriage. Every child needs both parents. I was always honest with Masaba, so it did not affect our relationship, but I know she suffered.” 

In an interview with film critic, Rajeev Masand, Neena had said, "Very much. All the time. I feel it was a very selfish act on my part. Some of my friends told me it won’t be fair on part of the child, but kaun sunnta hai uss waqat, blind hotey hain (who listens at that age, people are blind). I also feel sad because she was lonely. I wish I had another child but circumstances weren’t like that)."
