In an interview with Times Now, Neena said that she was madly-in-love and for her, nothing else mattered.

Talking about the same, the veteran actress said, “Mai kuch na kuch kar lugi. Mujhe koi kaam karne mei sharam nahi hai, ye meri maa se maine seekha.

Neena further stated that she was aware that people will gossip about her but it never bothered her. In her words, “But at that age, when you are in love, you don't think what will happen next. I didn't ask even a penny from my brother or my father or any of my friends - no financial support, no emotional support. And that is my strength and that is why I have moved on in life from one problem to another.”

On May 26, 2021, Masaba Gupta had taken to her IG handle and had shared an excerpt from the book, where Neena had talked about the time when she was pregnant with Masaba and couldn’t afford a c-section due to her financial constraints.
Neena’s doting daughter, Masaba had captioned her post as “An excerpt from ‘Sach Kahun Toh’ by @neena_gupta: When I was born, my mum had Rs 2000/- in her bank account. A timely tax reimbursement would bump that number up to Rs 12,000/- and ofcourse I was a C-section baby. As I read mom’s biography, I learn so many things & the hardships she has had to endure. I work very hard every single day of my life and never ever let anyone not give me what I deserve only to make sure I can pay her back for bringing me into this world...with interest! #sachkahuntoh #neenagupta (sic).”
