People warned Neena Gupta she will never be a lead actress because of Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro, reveals Masaba Gupta: ‘It turned out to be true’

Amruta said, “When I did Gully Boy, everyone told me don’t do it, it’s the biggest risk and mistake because you are playing mother to someone who is your age. I did not know OTT would happen. After OTT, I got to play a seductress bar dancer.” In Gully Boy, Amruta played the role of Razia Ahmed, the mother of Ranveer Singh’s character. She is around half-a-decade older than him.

Huma agreed and said that she is sick of people telling her not to play the role of a mother because she might get typecast. “I was told ‘don’t do it’ when I was doing Maharani.” She said that people advised her against playing a mother to three children. 

Amruta also recalled the time when she interviewed Deepti Naval and revealed that the latter also faced a similar problem back in the day. The actor said that because Deepti had no other options, she almost stopped doing films because she did not want to get typecast.
