Washington(The COW News Digital)Bollywood veteran Nina Gupta has once again spoken candidly about her personal life, including her relationship with West Indies cricket legend Vivian Richards, the birth of their daughter, and her lifelong decision not to marry.
In a recent podcast interview, Gupta was asked about her romantic relationship with Richards. Responding with a touch of sarcasm yet clarity, she told hosts, “Why don’t you ask him? Everyone is afraid to question him. Why do you all only ask me?” Her remarks reflected both her wit and her openness in addressing public curiosity about her personal choices.
Gupta acknowledged that she and Richards shared a genuine love, though their relationship did not last long. She candidly admitted that she had been “blinded by love” at the time, unable to heed advice from family, friends, or even reflect deeply on her own decisions. Despite the brevity of their time together, she described those moments as beautiful and meaningful.
