Neena Gupta reveals why she stopped herself from calling Masaba's outfit 'sexy': 'Log bolenge iss buddhi ko kya hua?'
Mumbai, July 27
Veteran actress Neena Gupta is known for her witty sense of humour, and her latest social media post once again showcased her unfiltered charm.
The 'Badhaai Ho' actress shared her admiration for daughter Masaba Gupta's creation while revealing a hilarious reason behind not using the word "sexy" to describe it. Taking to Instagram, Neena shared that she had worn Masaba's creation multiple times and that it looked "new and effective" every time she styled it. However, she added a humorous note, saying she actually wanted to use the word "sexy" instead of "effective" but stopped herself, joking, "phir log bolenge iss buddhi ko kya hua?"
Sharing her image, the actress wrote, "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?."
The picture shows Neena Gupta wearing a stylish black kaftan-style dress. She upped her fashion game by opting for long earrings and a stylish black bag. She kept her makeup subtle and styled her hair in a bun.
Meanwhile, on the work front, Neena Gupta was recently seen in the crime thriller sequel "Vadh 2," which was released on February 6, 2026. Prior to this, she appeared on the big screen in the romantic comedy "Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri," which hit theatres on December 25. The actress essayed a supporting role in the film, which featured Kartik Aaryan and Ananya Panday in the lead roles.
The 67-year-old actress will next be seen in the drama "Pachhattar Ka Chhora," which also stars Randeep Hooda and Sanjay Mishra. She also has another comedy project alongside Rakul Preet Singh in the pipeline.

I love how Neena Gupta is breaking stereotypes about aging. She's stylish, witty, and unapologetically herself. Masaba's designs are always on point too! That black kaftan is stunning. So refreshing to see a 67-year-old woman rocking bold fashion choices without caring about what 'log' will say. 💪
Honestly, it's sad that we live in a society where a 67-year-old woman has to think twice before calling herself 'sexy.' She's confident, she looks great — why should age define how she describes herself? But I get why she held back. Indian mentality needs to change. Hope she keeps inspiring us! 🙌
Neena Gupta is a legend. She's been proving that talent and confidence have no expiry date. Her bond with Masaba is also so heartwarming. This is exactly the kind of content we need — light-hearted, genuine, and full of personality. ❤️
In a world where everyone is so serious about everything, Neenaji's humour is a breath of fresh air. She's right though — Indian society can be brutally judgmental. But I say: age is just a number! She should absolutely say 'sexy' if she wants to. We need to normalize older women embracing their confidence. Beautiful post! ✨
I'm not Indian, but I follow Neena Gupta on Instagram — her posts are always so honest and funny. This one made me chuckle. It's unfortunate that even in 2026, women feel the need to censor themselves due to societal judgment. She handled it with perfect humor though.
