Neena Gupta shares she was denied entry to reserved lounge at Bareilly airport: 'I'm yet to become a VIP'

Actor Neena Gupta recently took to Instagram to share that she was denied entry to a reserved lounge at Bareilly Airport. Neena said that she considered herself as one of the VIPs but now she will have to work harder to actually become one.

She said in Hindi, ‘Hello, I am speaking to you from Bareilly airport. This is the reserved lounge where I had sat once, but today I wasn’t allowed. I thought the reserved lounge was for VIPs, and I thought I was one, but I am yet to become a VIP. I need to work hard a lot more to become a VIP. Which is good, this will motivate me to work harder and become one. Thank you so much.’

In the video, Neena Gupta gives a glimpse of the lounge in question.

Soon after she shared the video, fans came out in support of her.

Someone wrote in the comment section, ‘What nonsense Bareilly airport staff... Ridiculous. Mam you are such a down-to-earth person.’

‘Hahaha mam you are already VIP for many, love you always,’ added another. One more said, ‘You might not be VIP for them but you are special… Extra special for all of us!’
