The actress who has been part of several critically acclaimed films has been vocal about women's representation in cinema. She recently expressed her thoughts on how women on camera have evolved in the past few decades. The actress delighted with the change, said that she is happy to see women become breadwinners and central figures in every aspect of life on screen. The veteran actress was quoted by Etimes as saying, "In today's scripts, roles for us women are not dependent on a man, rather they stand on their own. Fabulous or flawed, police officer or thief, the women on our screen have grown from heroines and love interests to so much more." 

Neena Gupta also went on to praise several female characters from OTT shows like Raveena Tandon's cop in Aranyak, Madhuri Dixit's superstar in The Fame Game, Anchal Singh's Purva in Yeh Kaali Kaali Ankhein as well as Konkona Sen Sharma's Bharti in Ajeeb Daastaans. Further, she said, "Behind the screen, inclusivity is critical not only in amplifying voices that are not always heard, but also because it creates opportunities for stories that might not otherwise have been told."   

On the professional front, Neena Gupta was last seen in OTT release Diall 100 alongside Manoj Bajpayee. She will be next seen in Uunchai starring Boman Irani, Amitabh Bachchan, Danny Denzongpa, and Anupam Kher.
