Neena also recalled being on the verge of marriage with one man, who cancelled at the 'last minute', while she was shopping for clothes. 'Till today I don't know,' she said about what happened. 'That happened. But what can I do? I moved on. I would have loved to get married to him. I had a lot of respect for his father, mother. I was living in their house. He's going to read, he's alive, he's happily married. He has children.'

She said that she still feels envious when she sees people in regular relationships. 'People say I lived my life on my own terms. Actually, I never did. Wherever I went wrong, I accepted it and moved forward. I wanted to have a normal husband, children, my in-laws. When I see other people I do feel a little envious. I did not blame, I did not become alcoholic, because what I wanted I did not get,' she said.

Neena in her book also revealed, her close friend and actor-director Satish Kaushik offered to marry her when she was pregnant with former West Indies cricketer Vivian Richards child. Neena Gupta penned down her autobiography during the lockdown. The book released recently and unveils many interesting aspects from the actress's life. According to a review of Sach Kahun Toh published in Film Companion, when Neena was pregnant with Masaba, Satish came up with a proposition. He told her, “Don’t worry, if the child is born with dark skin, you can just say it’s mine and we’ll get married. Nobody will suspect a thing.”
