Neena Gupta, never one to shy away from making a statement, celebrated her 66th birthday with flair and unapologetic confidence. The veteran actress marked the occasion at the trailer launch of her upcoming film 'Metro In Dino', where she was joined by the film’s cast and crew. The event quickly became the talk of the town—thanks in no small part to her bold fashion choice.
Neena's birthday dress grabs attention
Dressed in a white Rann Kaftan paired with a shimmering gold ‘Biscuit Bra’ adorned with quirky house charms, Neena’s ensemble was anything but ordinary. Designed by her daughter Masaba Gupta under her popular label House of Masaba, the outfit turned heads and stirred conversations across social media.
Alongside Neena were her co-stars Aditya Roy Kapur, Sara Ali Khan, Konkona Sensharma, Pankaj Tripathi, and director Anurag Basu. As the team spoke about their highly anticipated film, Neena’s fearless fashion made headlines.
Netizens react
While admirers celebrated her for embracing her individuality and age with confidence, the look also attracted its share of criticism from online trolls, with some comments suggesting she should "dress her age." But fans were quick to defend the actress. “How can you expect women to be this confident when they’re bashed left, right and centre,” one supporter wrote. Another user added, “Skin show & confidence is not the point here. It’s about her living her life on her own terms by wearing what she likes.”
The 'Metro In Dino' team also surprised Neena with a bouquet, making the birthday celebration even more heartwarming. The film, which draws thematic inspiration from Anurag Basu’s Life In A… Metro, features Neena and Anupam Kher in a tender romantic arc that has already piqued the interest of fans. The original film was praised for its nuanced portrayal of love and relationships, and viewers are hopeful for a similarly refreshing narrative in this spiritual sequel.
