Neena Gupta is often in news these days mostly due to the incidents she revealed in her memoir. She is also gearing up for her next film 'Goodbye' where she's going to star alongside Amitabh Bachchan. Although this is their first film together, Big B and Neena were considered for a project back in the day but it never saw the light.

Neena shares, "Everybody is surprised that this is my first film with him, but that’s the truth! Chalo, at least now I get to work with him,” says Neena, who was in talks for a film starring Bachchan many years ago. “Yes, there was one project that we were in discussion for, but in the end, it didn’t materialise... I don’t know why.”

On the personal front, Neena Gupta shares a good rapport with the Bachchan family. She says, “Jayaji (Jaya Bachchan) invites me for their Diwali party every year. And Mr Bachchan, you know, is such a good host."

Back in 2018, Neena Gupta became a household name after her phenomenal performance in the film 'Badhaai Ho'. Amitabh Bachchan was so impressed with her work that he sent her a bouquet of flowers and a handwritten letter of appraisal.
