Beautiful to see Indian actresses openly discussing grandmotherhood. In our society, women are often expected to retire quietly after a certain age. Neena ji is breaking stereotypes while keeping it real!

The name Matara is so meaningful! Love how our generation is reviving beautiful traditional names with deep significance. Can't wait to see Panchayat S4 - Neena Gupta and Raghubir Yadav's chemistry is pure gold!

While I admire her work, I wish she spoke more about the support system that enables this balance. Most Indian women don't have the luxury of flexible schedules or domestic help that celebrities enjoy.

Her journey from being a single mother to now a proud grandmother is so heartwarming ❤️ Masaba has grown up to be such a strong woman, and now little Matara is lucky to have Neena ji's wisdom and love!
