Kareena Kapoor Khan

Kareena Kapoor Khan will virtually launch Neena Gupta's autobiography, Sach Kahun Toh. The veteran actor shared the news on social media. "Excited to launch my first book with the beautiful Kareena, whom I really admire. Catch us live on June 14." Gupta is understandably excited, but a section of netizens "wished she had chosen someone real" to release the book, "someone who had the same struggles as you, someone who is not self-obsessed." But Gupta loves Bebo, and that's reason enough for her.

From her time at the National School of Drama (NSD) to moving to Bombay (Mumbai) in the 80s and her single parenthood, the book will share Neena Gupta's life story in the most "unapologetically honest" manner. "She details the big milestones in her life, her unconventional pregnancy and single parenthood, and successful second innings in Bollywood," the publisher said in a statement.

The book addresses issues like casting couch, film industry politics, and also talks about what it takes for a young actor to survive without a godfather or guide. "Sach Kahun Toh is a candid, self-deprecating portrait of the person behind the persona, detailing her life's many choices, her battles against stereotypes, then and now, and how she may not be as unconventional as people think her to be," the publisher added.

Last month, from Neena Gupta's autobiography 'Sach Kahun Toh', daughter Masaba took to social media to share an interesting anecdote about her birth. It will indeed tell you a bit about the sort of hardships that Neena faced throughout her life while bringing up Masaba. Masaba's Instagram post reads, "An excerpt from 'Sach Kahun Toh' by @neena_gupta : When I was born, my mum had Rs 2000 in her bank account. A timely tax reimbursement would bump that number up to Rs 12,000 and ofcourse 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 [sic]."

Masaba talks candidly about how she works hard every day just to make sure that her mom never gets to face any more hardships in her life ever. She also goes on to urge her fans and followers to pre-order her mom's biography. Masaba and Neena Gupta have had a very close bond, and it is assumed that a lot of the stories of the hardships and the good times will be shared with people via this biography. This mother-daughter duo keeps inspiring the world with every such little story from their lives.
