After living in rented houses, she bought her first house with some help from her parents and her hard-earned money. After that, she never rented a house and kept buying flats one after the other with becoming successful in life. But there is a dark phase in the life of Neena which she didn’t want to recall to date.

Neena Gupta recently attended an interview with one of the media houses and said that as she earned more money, she kept selling her existing apartment and buying a new one. Once when she was about to buy a second house, she started living with her aunt, who threw her out of the house in the middle of the night. After she turned homeless and was forced to stay with a friend and go to her place.

Neena further told that she had booked a 3-BHK flat in a new apartment of a good builder. She had then sold the house in which she was already living. She had already invested money for the next house, so she did not have much money left. During this time, she went to live with her aunt and uncle. Recalling that time, she said, ‘I went to my aunt’s house, where I used to live earlier. I felt that I had stayed there most of the time and I just had to come to my house to sleep. Masaba was young then and my aunt used to help take care of the child.’

Narrating the anecdote, she said, ‘But one day, she threw me out of the house at midnight.’ Neena told that since she did not have money, she became homeless and said, ‘I had no money left. There was one night when I could not go anywhere with the child.’ Later, her uncle helped her and he allowed her to stay in an empty flat in Juhu.
