Neena Gupta shuts down the trolls for slamming her shorts airport look; Here’s what she said

Neena Gupta continues to defy expectations, demonstrating that confidence and attitude are timeless. After being criticized for wearing shorts at the airport, the actress responded to a troll who body-shamed her. Known for her straightforward and honest approach, Neena fearlessly addressed the negativity.

Neena posted a casual Instagram video from the airport, giving fans a look at her travel routine. Wearing a stylish black outfit with shorts, Neena was filmed in the waiting lounge, chatting with her followers. She shared her clever hack for surviving long airport hours: packing homemade snacks in a tiffin box. Her favorite is roti rolls filled with potatoes, chilies, paneer, onions, and spices—a simple, healthy snack. She captioned the video “Shorts wali desi girl," showcasing her blend of comfort and style.

While many admired her effortless charm, one social media user chose to body-shame her. The comment read: “Very good …only request don’t show your legs, they are not well toned. We have never seen dadi mummy showing their legs this way. Ageing gracefully is excellent."

Another netizen immediately defended her, calling out the woman for body-shaming.“What a demeaning comment from another WOMAN. Congratulations for being such a body shamer and being part of the problem."

With her usual candor, Neena responded directly to the troll in the comments section. "Don’t worry. These people who talk like this are basically jealous that they don’t have such good body, so ignore," she wrote, shutting down the negativity with her signature wit.

Fans quickly appreciated her response, praising her confidence and refusal to conform to outdated notions of how women should dress—especially as they age.

Neena Gupta's latest notable appearance is in Anurag Basu's romantic drama "Metro... In Dino", alongside Aditya Roy Kapur, Sara Ali Khan, and Pankaj Tripathi. Neena Gupta plays the role of Shibani in the movie. Prior to this, she starred in Mast Mein Rehne Ka, a comedy-drama released on Amazon Prime Video in December 2023, where she shared the screen with Jackie Shroff.
