She has always lived life on her own terms and has no qualms saying she is looking for work. Over the weekend, Neena Gupta took to Instagram to say, "I live in Mumbai and working. Am a good actor... looking for good parts to play (sic)."

Her daughter, fashion designer Masaba Gupta, reposted it along with an encouraging note for her. Priyanka Chopra, too, was touched and wrote "Inspired" in the comments section. The actor is keen to begin anew and is not ashamed to ask for work. Her son-in-law is filmmaker Madhu Mantena, but Gupta is keen to make it on her own.

 

Just the other day I was telling someone .. how I am never afraid/ shy to ask for work. Its obviously genetic. My mother put up this post on her instagram today. I mean,my 62yr old national award winning mother. She told me I must always work .. no matter what .. it keeps you from getting old...she told me they don't write for women her age anymore ... I don't think anyone can replicate what she did for TV anymore.. she complains that she can't do PR .. but says 'I do good work,that's my PR'.. time and again we've spoken about how whatever she asks for ... in due time ,she gets... But that's the magic of a pure heart. The universe just can't refuse you... the only advice I have the guts to give her is.. don't work with anyone who won't respect you ,at this age , that's the bare minimum & it's a strange strange industry she's in... the advice she gives me in return is..'whatever you do,free ka PR mat khaana,your only someone's kid/wife/niece/sister for this long. Prove yourself. WORK. Walk the talk & fly ♥u00efu00b8u008fu00f0u009fu0098u0081♥u00efu00b8u008f @neena_gupta #neenaji
