Neena Gupta, the senior actress is currently on cloud nine as she has been conferred with a National Award for her performance in Sooraj Barjatya’s Uunchai (2022).
In an old interview, Neena Gupta revealed how she got the role, she said, “Main toh shocked thi. Mujhe bulaya unhone apne office mein script sunane ke liye. Main soch rahi thi na bhi sunao tab bhi karungi (I was shocked. He called me to his office to narrate the script. I was thinking that even if I didn’t hear the narration, I would have done it), Kyunki 30 saal se wait kar rahi thi, milne ki bhi sambhavna nahin hoti thi unse. Uske baad yeh hua toh I was flying high (Because I was waiting for 30 years, there was no possibility of meeting him. Then this happened).”
Neena Gupta said that when she got the news of winning the National Award, initially she didn’t believe it. In her words, “I was happily surprised. I told my manager to reconfirm it. I didn’t even know that the National Awards winners would be declared on this date (August 16)! It has now sunk in, and I feel really good. This proves that if you really work hard, you’ll get something truly rewarding in return.”
