Neena Gupta On Why She Considers Herself ‘Little’ Successful: “I Am Not Amitabh Bachchan”

Neena Gupta acquired newfound fame with her second innings in the film industry. With films like Badhaai Ho! Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan and Panga in her kitty, one can say that the actress has truly reinvented herself. While the actress is known to be someone who breaks stereotypes, she is also not the one to mince words.

Neena Gupta has established herself as one of the best character actors in the industry. However, the veteran is quick to call herself only a ‘little’ famous. When she was prodded further as to why does she not acknowledge herself for the star that she is, the veteran says that despite being a part of the industry for almost 30 years she attained fame only recently!

Speaking to India.com, Neena Gupta said, “I am not Amitabh Bachchan. People noticed me after Badhaai Ho. I think right now, I am known as a good character actor. I have not got that kind of fame. There are very few roles for women. I can’t be the heroine. Men (of my age) can still do main-leads. Women can’t.”
