In an interview with India Today, Neena Gupta shared her thoughts about love beyond 50. The actress said, 'I agree, I still feel romantic! Romance is not just about sex or attraction. It's about feeling good."
Claiming that feeling good comes in many forms, she added, 'I romance with my clothes. I feel great when I dress up. Back in the day, I'd never worn a bikini; the household that I came from didn't have that culture in Delhi. But when I moved to Bombay and lived alone, I'd wear a bikini in my bathroom, stand in front of the mirror, and feel happy; there were no mobile phones then. That, too, is romance. Romancing yourself. But feeling good has no age limit."
In the same conversation, Neena Gupta expressed her admiration for director Anurag Basu. The actress said, 'I didn't even know he would offer me something. But when he did, I told him — don't even tell me what my role is, I'll do it. That's how much I wanted to work with him, especially after Life in a… Metro."
