Neena Gupta: Aunty had thrown me out of the house at midnight, Masaba was small and I had no place to stay.

Neena Gupta reached Mumbai from Delhi in the early 1980s. After initially living in rented houses, he/she bought his/her first house with some help from his/her parents. After that she never rented a house and kept buying one flat after another. During this time, something happened to her whose bad memories haunt her even today. Neena Gupta recently told in an interview that as she earned more money, she kept selling her existing apartment and buying a new one. Once when she was about to buy another house, she started living with her aunt, who threw her out of the house in the middle of the night.
While talking to YouTube channel ‘Housing.com’, Neena told that she had booked a 3-BHK flat in a new apartment of a good builder. She then sold the house in which she was already living. She had already invested money for the next house, so she did not have much money left. During this time, she went to live with her aunt and uncle.

‘But one day, they threw me out of the house at midnight’

Recalling that time, she said, ‘I went to my aunt’s house, where I used to live earlier. I felt like I was there most of the time and had to come home just to sleep. Masaba was young at that time and my aunt used to help in taking care of the child. Neena told that one day when her aunt threw her out of the house, things changed completely. Narrating the anecdote, he/she said, ‘But one day, they threw me out of the house at midnight.’ Neena told that since she did not have money, she became homeless.

‘The house was covered with cobwebs and rusted’

he/she said, ‘he/she shifted me to his/her mother-in-law’s house in Juhu, which was closed for 20 years. There were cobwebs in the house, it looked rusty. I went there and cleaned that house with a small child. But soon, I was asked to leave that house too.

‘he/she returned the money to me, did not deduct even a single penny’
