Speaking to Rajeev Masand in an interview during ‘Women We Love’, Neena opened up about the same. She said, “Like a normal mother, I said don’t take any decision in a rush. Think about it because me and my husband both loved Madhu and still love him. He’s a very nice man and we still love him. But… nahi bana toh nahi bana…Humne bola socho isko, aisa nahi hai ki immediate decision liya, they thought about it. It was a very big shock to me (sic).”

For those who’ve come in late, Madhu and Masaba shared a joint press release to talk about their separation last year. In the release they said, “To our family, friends, acquaintances. With a lot of sadness, Madhu and I have decided to go on a trial separation in our marriage. Both of us have taken this decision after consulting professionals and our parents. The only thing we are ready to say for now is that what we both want out of life individually and separately is putting unnecessary pressure on our marriage and love that we share.

Masaba also went on to add, “Hence we would like to take some time off from each other and our marriage to figure out for ourselves what we want out of this life. We also want to say that this is a tough time for us and we want to really protect our privacy at this time. We still hope to find reconciliation in our individual paths and dreams and hence this privacy is important for us for now.

Talking of Neena, in the same interview she also mentioned that she was considerably shaken owing to the divorce news. But, she also states that her daughter took the decision after contemplating about what shall be good for her and what wouldn’t be. Neena also said that she and her husband, Vivek Mehra loved Madhu, but also said that the decision is all in her daughter’s hands. And thus, this separation came as a big shock to her.
