Neena Gupta moved from Delhi to Mumbai in the early 1980s and after living in a shared apartment for some time, Neena bought her first apartment with some help from her parents. Neena revealed in a recent interview that she never rented houses after that and kept buying flats one after another. The Saans actor said that as she would make more money, she would sell her existing apartment, add more money and buy her next apartment. Once, when she was in the middle of switching apartments, she started living with her aunt who threw her out in the middle of the night.

In a chat with the YouTube channel Housing.com, Neena said that she had booked a new 3-BHK flat in a reputed builder’s new apartment building. She had already sold her existing house and put in the money for her next house, so she did not have much money on her. While she was still in this process, she moved in with her aunt and uncle. “I shifted to my aunt’s house where I had stayed before. I thought I stay there so much of the time and I just come back to my house to sleep. Since Masaba was little then, my aunt used to help in looking after the baby,” she shared.

Neena said that things changed drastically after her aunt kicked her out one day. “But one day, she threw me out in the middle of the night, she kicked me out.” Neena shared that since she did not have any money on her, she was homeless. “I had no money left. There was this one night where I had nowhere to go with a baby,” she recalled. While she was still figuring out her living situation, her uncle had a change of heart and allowed her to live in an unoccupied flat in Juhu.

“Before shifting with them, I had already told both of them that I am now going to be without a house so are you okay with me moving in? They said yes then. Now uncle felt very bad so he shifted me to his mother-in-law’s house in Juhu which had been shut for 20 years. There were cobwebs in the house, it looked rusty. I went there and I cleaned that house with a small baby. But soon, I was asked to leave that house as well,” she recalled.

At this point, Neena had no place to live so she went to the builder she had already paid money to and told him about her circumstances. She requested that he return her money so she could buy a house that was ready. “I asked him if it was possible to get my money back, I don’t want that house. He gave me money back, didn’t even deduct a penny,” she shared.

Neena then bought a house in Aram Nagar and moved in with her daughter Masaba.
