In Neena Gupta's recently released autobiography, Sach Kahun Toh, Neena recalled some shocking instances from her growing up years. Sharing details on how she was molested, the veteran actress wrote, "The doctor started with examining my eye and then went down to check out other areas that were unconnected with my eye. I was scared stiff while it was happening and felt disgusted all the way home. I sat in a corner in the house and cried my eyes out when nobody was looking."
Neena also revealed why she never dared to tell her mother about the same and continued, "But I didn’t dare tell my mother about this because I was so scared that she would say that it was my fault. That I had probably said or done something to provoke him. This happened to me many times at the doctor’s."

She also wrote about being propositioned at the age of 16 by one of her brother's friends, and she managed to politely refuse his advances without offending him.
