When the producer summoned Neena Gupta to his room, she realised something was wrong. “My basic instinct told me not to go upstairs,” she wrote in her book. That I should instead ask him to come down to the lobby.”
The book says in an excerpt, “‘So, sir, what is my role?’ When he paused for his breath, I finally asked him. ‘Friend of the heroine,’ he said. It looked like a very small part when he explained it to me. ‘All right… Now, sir, I gotta go. “My friends are expecting me….” I said. Go? He asked where. Where? He really looked shocked.
You won’t stay here for the night?’ Suddenly, I felt as if somebody had just filled my head with a bucket of ice water. Khoon’s gay sookh.’ Neena also said the producer pushed her bag in her arms and said she wasn’t forced to do anything that she had ran out of the room.
Neena Gupta spoke in one of her chapters of how she filmed the popular dance track Khal Nayak in 1993. The Gujarati tribe outfit she was made for the song to wear. When the director Subhash Ghai was presented, he disapproved and screamed, “Kuch Bharo.”
