Neena Gupta's comment on Anupam Kher's post for Pritish Nandy sparks controversy

Neena Gupta's comment on Kher's post sparked a controversy. However, her comment is either hidden or deleted now. She had written, "Do you know, what he did to me, and I called him a B@#%^&d openly. He stole my baby's birth certificate and published it. So no RIP, you understand, and I have proof of it.”

For those not in the know, Pritish Nandy had stolen Masaba Gupta's certificate to reveal her true identiy and who her father was. Since then, Masaba was called a love-child as she was born out of wedlock when Neena was dating cricketer Viv Richards.

Never knew this. I am surprised.

Love child stories in Bollywood look interesting though.
