Neena Gupta wishes she was younger now; admits being jealous of Shabana Azmi

Veteran actress Neena Gupta is currently enjoying the success of Amazon Prime's Panchayat 2 (2022). She stated in a recent interview how she used to get thrown out of many projects and went on to say that she envied actor Shabana Azmi because, unlike her, she was able to land good roles in serials and films.

“Long time back, I used to be jealous of Shabana Azmi because she used to get all the nice parts. There were many other actresses also. Sometimes I was told that we are doing this role but was thrown out of it," she said.

While speaking about the success of Panchayat 2, the Mandi (1983) actress also expressed her desire to be young again. She said, "I am very grateful and thankful to god that 'der aye durust aaye' but it did come. On the other hand, I sometimes feel very bad and hurt and sad, that I wish I was younger now and then, I would have so many opportunities. Because when I came, there were only films and Doordarshan, so yes, I am very grateful and I really thank god every day that I at least got it."

Gupta recently revealed that she is in talks with producers about making a feature film adaptation of her autobiography Sach Kahun Toh.
