In Sach Kahun Toh, actor Neena Gupta chronicles her extraordinary personal and professional journey-from her childhood days in Delhi's Karol Bagh, through her time at the National School of Drama, to moving to Bombay in the 1980s and dealing with the struggles to find work. It details the big milestones in her life, her unconventional pregnancy and single parenthood, and a successful second innings in Bollywood. A candid, self-deprecating portrait of the person behind the persona, it talks about her life's many choices, battling stereotypes, then and now, and how she may not be as unconventional as people think her to be.

Would she have survived cancel culture today? Perhaps not, and she’d probably be the first one to admit it. Her words, like her attitude, just flow easily. Sometimes seemingly uninhibited but fully aware of what she’s saying about others as well as herself. This book is juicy but not in a way that is damaging or disrespectful. I have to admit that on some occasions I tried really hard to identify people she mentioned using the carefully worded details shared but let’s say she can’t be sued for defamation.
