Neena Gupta, who is currently basking in the success of her latest release show ‘Masaba Masaba,’ is an actor par excellence. Apart from her professional front, she often makes headlines for opening up about her personal life. Neena has never shied away from talking about her past relationships and in a recent interview she spoke about her equation with her ex and cricketer Vivian Richards, with whom she has daughter Masaba.
The Badhaai Ho actress stated that she doesn’t hate her ex-boyfriends including Vivian and that she has no hard feeling for him. Speaking to Bollywood Bubble, Neena said, “I believe once you love somebody, how can you hate? You cannot live, you cannot be together. I don’t hate my ex-boyfriends. I don’t hate my ex-husband. Why should I hate?” Further while referring to her relationship with Vivian, the 63-year-old veteran actress pointed out, “Agar koi mereko itna bura lagta hai toh main bachcha use paida karungi kyun? Mai pagal hun kya?." ALSO READ:Neena Gupta Gets Candid About Living With Her Husband Vivek Mehra As Man And Wife For The First Time During The Lockdown

Recently, Masaba, who is a well known fashion designer in the industry, in an interview revealed that despite her parents’ separation, her mother never tried to“poison her relationship” with her father Vivian. The designer also asserted that Neena let her make her own decisions, own judgments and let her decide what role her father will play in her life.
