Mumbai. Producer, writer and journalist Pratish Nandy passed away at the age of 73. Anupam Kher released the information about his demise through his social media account. After this his post went viral. Anupam paid tribute to him calling him his close friend. Neena Gupta commented on this post of Anupam, which caught people’s attention. However, later Neena Gupta deleted or hid this comment. He had written in it that Pratish had stolen his baby’s birth certificate to find out who is Masaba’s father.
According to the Times of India report, Neena Gupta had written in the comment, “Do you know what he (Pratish Nandy) did to me, and I had openly called him a bastard. He had stolen my baby’s birth certificate and published it. So no RIP, you got it, and I have proof.”
Neena Gupta had commented.
Let us tell you, Neena Gupta’s daughter Masaba Gupta was born in 1989. He was not married till then. Therefore, soon after her birth, Nandi stole Masaba’s birth certificate from the registrar’s office, so that she could reveal her true identity. In an interview with Rajdeep Sardesai, Neena had talked about this and said, “Prateesh Nandy stole my birth certificate from the registrar’s office.”
Neena Gupta further said, “And I called him a bastard! All this happened openly…they went and stole! Pritish Nandi! They sent someone. I was living with my aunt. My aunt went and applied for her birth certificate. He said, ‘We will get the birth certificate after a week.’ So she went after a week and they said, ‘Some relative of yours took it.'”
Neena Gupta said, “Coincidentally, I knew someone who knew that person. It came to light that Pritish sent it to someone and then he wrote an article. If those illiterate people do it then what will they say about you.” The birth certificate was then published in a magazine, thus it was known to everyone that Masaba was the daughter of West Indies cricketer Vivian Richards. As Masaba grew up, she started being called a ‘love-child’
