Neena Gupta addressed her daughter Masaba Gupta’s trial separation with husband, filmmaker Madhu Mantena and told a leading daily that the couple is trying to “figure a way out”. Masaba, a designer by profession, married Madhu in 2015 and announced their separation in a joint statement in August.
“They have still not taken a definite step. They are trying to figure a way out. It’s too early to talk about it, but whatever has to happen, will happen,” Neena told the daily, adding that, “when the time comes, we will discuss it.”

Masaba is the daughter of Neena Gupta and former West Indies batsman Vivian Richards. In her statement that was issued on social media, Masaba had said that the decision of separation was taken mutually after consulting their friends and family members.
"Both of us have taken this decision after consulting professionals and our parents. The only thing we are ready to say right now is, 'what we both want out of life individually and separately is putting unnecessary pressure on the marriage and the love that we share. Hence we would take time off from each other and our marriage to figure out for ourselves what we want out of this life,” Masaba wrote, requesting her fans and followers to respect their privacy.
