Neena Gupta opens up about the relevance of marriage in current times; says she is confused as there is no alternative institution

Neena Gupta recently discussed the importance of marriage in today's world. According to her, she is still confused about it, as there is no other alternative institution.

Despite the fact that everyone around her is dismissing marriage these days, Neena believes it is still important. The actress also added that there is no other alternative institution. According to her, young girls are financially independent and thus won’t take anything from a man, and this is one of the reasons why divorces are happening. Earlier, they had no option but to silently suffer. However, the actress also believes that marriage is a good institution in many ways, so she is left confused.

Her daughter, Masaba Gupta, recently revealed that her mother had tried to set her up with a prospective boy she thought was suitable for her. Reacting to the same, Neena argued that she was just being a mom, like any other normal mother. According to her, when you go to meet your friends, they often open up your child’s photo albums or ask them to recite a poem or some antics. They don’t realise that the guests are not interested. When Masaba was a child, she decided to never do anything like this. But the fact remains, she did it all. Neena admitted that she would show her off in front of everyone. "That's how mothers are, and marrying her was just one of my maternal instincts," Neena Gupta told IndianExpress.com.

Neena will next be seen in 'Vadh' co-starring Sanjay Mishra in the lead role. The film is slated to hit theatres on December 9, 2022.
