Actor Neena Gupta’s name has been etched in golden words not just in the film industry but also on the OTT platforms, her role portrayal has left the audience mesmerized and in awe always. During a recent Filmfare OTT award event, when she went on the stage to collect the award, an adorable mix-up happened. The video from the event have been posted by her daughter Masaba Gupta on her Instagram profile. Watch here:
The actor was confused and left everyone laughing when she thought that she had bagged her Filmfare OTT awards for Masaba Masaba while it was for her performance in Panchayat. She fetched the ‘Best Supporting Actor, Series (Female): Comedy’ for Panchayat Season 2. Neena looked elegant in a white saree with a full-sleeve blouse complemented by a designer bag from her daughter Masaba’s collection.
The clip started off with Neena’s ambiguous yet funny award acceptance speech, “Yeh mujhe Masaba k liye mila hai na (I got this for Masaba, right) ? Masaba Masaba. Toh sabse interesting baat yeh hai ki Masaba Masaba mein, if I’m right, main aur Masaba dono nominated ek doosre k against hai (The most interesting thing is both me and Masaba are nominated against each other for Masaba Masaba, if I’m right). Okay?”
A woman then screamed from the audience stating that the award is for Panchayat. Neena asked, “Aare main kiske liye jeetee hun batao pehle mujhe (For which show did I win the award, tell me first)?”
The host Maniesh confirmed the award for Panchayat, Neena said, “Lekin isme toh Masaba Masaba. Accha Panchayat k liye jeete hoon (But here it showed Masaba Masaba. I won for Panchayat)? Oh my God (laughs).” Neena further added, “Mere kehne ka matlab hai ki I wish ki main yeh Panchayat k liye bhi jeettee (I meant that I wish I’d win for Panchayat too).”
She further added, “Main chahti thi ki dono k liye jeetun, aesa toh ho nahi sakta. But theek hai. Acchi baat hai, hosakta hai Masaba ka chance hai abhi bhi Masaba Masaba mein. Mummy toh hun hi na (I wanted to win for both but that can’t happen, right. But it’s okay. It’s good maybe Masaba still has a chance for Masaba Masaba. I’m a mother after all) (laughs). Thank you. Main toh bohut gadbad kardi aaj, koi baat nahi…So yeh award mujhe Panchayat k liye mila hai (I made a blunder today, but it’s okay…So, I got this award for Panchayat).”
Sharing the clip, Masaba wrote, “Please enjoy this video of my mother living her best life on & off the stage because all the awards are hers only ya (laughing emojis)• congratulations team panchayat for the killer win last night! One of my favourite shows @neena_gupta in a nearly 20-year-old Wendell Rodricks sari with a pearl-encrusted blouse & Jacquemus bag from my collection that fits nothing but one’s ego which should be as tiny as this bag. Hai na (Right)? #mymummygreatest.”
