5 Bollywood actresses who were involved in controversy with cricketers

3. Neena Gupta-Viv Richards 

Legendary former West Indies cricketer Viv Richards and veteran actress Neena Gupta were in a relationship for a brief period in the 1980s when the former was already married. They also together have a daughter named Masaba Gupta, who was born in 1989.

It is said that Neena, upon realising that she was pregnant with Masaba, wanted to raise her as a single mother, since marrying Richards was off the cards. Neena was raised by an orthodox family, and it was unheard of during those days to have a child out of wedlock.

In an interview with Mumbai Mirror, Neena once said, if there was one thing she would change from her past, it would be to not have a child outside marriage since every child needs both parents. “ I was always honest with Masaba, so it did not affect our relationship, but I know she suffered.”
