Neena Gupta is hoping to get substantial roles
With ‘Badhaai Ho’ being declared one of the biggest hits of last year, Neena Gupta feels she has finally got her due. The immensely talented actress says that while she is happy with the positive feedback for the film, she hopes even more interesting roles come her way. She said that she hopes filmmakers will sketch a role especially for her since the thrist for challenging roles will never diminish. Apart from ‘Badhaai Ho’, Neena was also seen in ‘The Last Color’ where her performance was lauded and widely spoken about.
In a recent interview, Neena said that while women were being offered better roles today, a gender bias still existed. And although she was glad with the change, she is hoping that older women also get meatier roles. She added that while men her age continued to get lead roles, she is often asked to play the role of a grandmother, something that she finds unfair. She said she always asks filmmakers why she should play a grandmother when there are so many other characters that she can portray. Neena said that she has received nice offers that she is contemplating and willing to explore. The actress also revealed that she would like to do the roles that Meryl Streep did in Hollywood and was hopeful of doing something similar.
