Masaba Gupta Reveals Mother Neena Gupta Didn't Have Enough Money For C-Section, Here's How It Was Made Possible

Neena Gupta has always been very open about her life and her journey in the film industry. The actress, who has been a recipient of The National Award, has often said in her interviews how she had faced a financial crunch. She will now reveal everything in her autobiography, Sach Kahun Toh, which would hit the stands on 14th June. Daughter Masaba Gupta has shared an excerpt from the book, about the time when she was due for delivery and Neena Gupta had just Rs. 2000 in her account.

Masaba shared these excerpts on her social media. It read, "As my due date approached, I started to worry because I had very little money in my account. I could afford a natural birth because it would cost only ₹2000. But I knew if I had to have a C-section, I would be in trouble because the surgery cost almost ₹10,000. Luckily, a tax reimbursement of ₹9000 came through a few days before my delivery and I finally ended up with ₹12,000 in my bank account. Good thing this money came through, because my doctor informed me that I would need a C-section. My father who had come down at the time to help me through the birth was livid. He said this was a ploy to just charge us more money."

Masaba captioned it as, " "An excerpt from ‘Sach Kahun Toh’ by @neena_gupta : When I was born, my mum had ₹2000/- in her bank account. A timely tax reimbursement would bump that number up to ₹12,000/- and of course I was a C-section baby. As I read mom’s biography I learn so many things & the hardships she has had to endure. I work very hard every single day of my life & never ever let anyone not give me what I deserve only to make sure I can pay her back for bringing me into this world.....with interest! #sachkahuntoh #neenagupta @neena_gupta | You can pre-order the book now on @amazondotin."
