Neena Gupta on her fondness for clothes and jewellery

Neena revealed that she does her own styling and added, "I am very fond of my clothes and jewelry. Ab jo mujhe role milte hai vo toh gav vale roles hi milte hai toh mai apne kapde kaha pehnu. Yaha toh mujhe aise (simple) pehnne padte hai, toh kaha dikhau. I get up in the morning and I do styling. Mere room me jaha kapde hai mai vaha jaati hu, styling karke, photo kheech ke rakhti hu. And I enjoy that. (I’m very fond of my clothes and jewelry. But the roles I get are mostly village-girl characters, so where do I even wear my outfits? Here, I have to dress simply for the role, so there’s nowhere to show them off. I wake up in the morning, go to where my clothes are, style myself, take pictures, and save them).”
