| BEFORE: Neena Gupta with the
'Manorama' chest tattoo | Neena
Gupta's glamorous avatar, as Manno bhabhi, in Zee's Saath
Phere, has hogged more attention than the show itself.
However, the actress, famous for her independent style, isn't
happy with the way she's been showcased in the
drama.
Sources from the production house point out that
Neena doesn't like the positioning of the tattoo she must
paint on for each episode — she wants it shifted to another
part of her body.
In the first few episodes, Neena has
a tattoo on her chest that reads "Manorama", in Hindi. But
lately, that tattoo has disappeared from its original place
and landed up on her back — in the
form of two peacocks.
Jagah badlo
Says a
source from the unit, "Neenaji wasn't too happy with the
placement of the Manorama tattoo; she thought it was
uncalled for, and asked for a change. And since it was a
temporary tattoo, someone had to paint it on every day. That
upset her a lot."

| AFTER: Neena shows off the two
mors on her back | When
contacted, Neena Gupta said, "I don't know who has given you
this information. I have only one tattoo at the moment, which
is on my back. I haven't had any issues with that
one."
But didn't she have problems with the earlier
chest tattoo? "This is totally ridiculous; I don't want to
comment on
it," said the actress.
Drew too much
attention
Rajan Shahi, the new director of
Saath Phere, was aware of the changes in the positioning of
the tattoo. "Since I have joined the show, I have seen only
one tattoo — the one on her back, with the two peacocks.
But Neenaji tells me that initially, she did have
another tattoo on her chest; that has been taken away as it
was getting more attention than needed. Now, I think, she uses
a dupatta as
well with the outfit."
Channel didn't like
it
Says one of Gupta's female co-stars on the
show, "There were issues about the tattoo. The channel also
wasn't too keen on it… Neena, too, had reservations. However,
now that it's on her back, she
seems fine with it."
