"Log bolenge iss buddhi ko kya hua": Neena Gupta quips about choosing 'effective' over 'sexy' in her latest Instagram caption
Mumbai, July 27
Always bold and 'bindas', veteran actress Neena Gupta never shies away from expressing her thoughts. Her latest Instagram post once again reflects these very qualities that have become synonymous with her personality.
On Monday, she shared a picture flaunting an outfit designed by her daughter Masaba. However, it was her caption that left everyone in splits. In her caption, Neena Gupta called her outfit "effective," but also shared that she actually wanted to write "sexy."
However, she jokingly said she refrained from using the word, thinking, "Log bolenge iss buddhi ko kya hua" (people will wonder what happened to this old woman).
"I have worn this Masaba's creation so many times...Every time it looks new and effective. P.S. I actually wanted to say sexy instead of effective.. phir log bolenge iss buddhi ko kya hua?" she wrote.
Meanwhile, Neena was recently spotted in Delhi, where she attended the fashion show of her daughter Masaba.
Marking a significant milestone in her design journey, Masaba Gupta presented her first-ever bridal couture collection - 'Chardi Kala', bringing her bold prints and unconventional sensibilities into the world of wedding fashion.
"The journey begins in the sacred landscapes of India before drifting into the blue-green waters of Antigua and the vibrant tropics of the Caribbean. Bridal seamlessly transforms into resort bridal," states the official description of Masaba's bridal collection.
For the show, models took to the runway in an array of traditional ensembles, dressed in stunning full-flared lehengas, intricately embroidered dupattas, metallic zari work, shimmering sequins, and meticulous handcrafted embellishment. It was combined with modern couture touches like structured layering, different draping and styling.

Haha, typical Neena Gupta! But honestly, she should embrace the word "sexy" too – age is just a number, and confidence is timeless. However, I get why she held back; Indian auntie brigade would have a field day. Still, she's a trendsetter for all generations.
Neena ji proves that style has no age. Her self-deprecating humor is so relatable – we all think about what "log" will say. But honestly, if she feels sexy, she should say it! Masaba's collection sounds amazing too – bridal with a Caribbean twist? Sign me up! 🎉
As someone from the US, this is so refreshing to see! Neena Gupta's candidness about aging and societal norms is universal. The "effective" vs "sexy" debate is hilarious but also a subtle commentary on how we police women's bodies and language at every age. Masaba's bold prints sound incredible.
Bold and bindas as always! But let's be real – if a 65-year-old man wrote "sexy" about his outfit, no one would bat an eye. Double standards exist. Neena ji, you do you! The outfit is indeed effective, and you rock it. Masaba's bridal collection sounds like a beautiful fusion of cultures. 🇮🇳✨
I admire Neena ji's honesty – she knows what 'log' will say, but she still says it with a wink. That's confidence! At my age, I'd probably do the same. Her daughter Masaba is a genius with prints and colors.
