Neena Gupta is set to appear next in Sardar Ka Grandson where she portrays the role of Arjun Kapoor's 90-year-old grandmother. The 62-year-old actress recently revealed her husband, Vivek Mehra's reaction to her look in the movie. Neena says that she initially rejected the movie but agreed to hear the narration on the insistence of her manager. Once she had heard the script, the actress changed her mind. She then went on to show a picture of herself from the movie to her husband who was surprised by her appearance.
"I had forgotten that I am playing an older (role). My husband once said, 'arre,' I showed him the picture, he said, 'Arre, kya ho gaya teri shakal ko? (What happened to your face?)' Maine kaha (I said), 'Well, I'm an actor,'" Neena told a news channel. Neena Gupta and Vivek Mehra got married in 2008 and have spent the lockdown together in their holiday home in Mukteshwar. "I didn’t think of 90 or 60, I just asked her one thing—why don’t you take an older person for this role? She (director Kaashvie Nair) said that a real 90-year-old person wouldn’t be able to shoot for long hours. We used to shoot 15-16 hours in cold weather," Neena also said.
