At one of her Bharatanatyam performances, theatre director Jai Theertha, noticed the actress's talent and convinced her to join Samasthi Sunday School of Drama. Consequently, she pursued a diploma course in drama and performed in a play titled ‘Preethi’, later having an opportunity to play the lead role in 'Sadarame’, performing all over the state of Karnataka. Krithi collaborated with director Sunil Kumar Desai, and bagged the lead role in the Kannada film Sarigama. At the same time, she met Murali from the Tamil film industry who offered her an opportunity to play the lead role in Sagakkal directed by Swami. The actress then starred in Suseenthiran's critically acclaimed Azhagarsamiyin Kuthirai (2011) alongside Inigo Prabhakaran, before featuring in another little known Tamil film Kondaan Koduthaan, the following year.

In 2013, she changed her screen name from Advaitha to her original name in time for the release of Snehavin Kadhalargal. She noted that the name Advaitha had been chosen for numerological reasons, but stated she did not like the way people pronounced the name. She worked again with Suseenthiran, portraying a small role in Pandiya Naadu. Her future projects include Maanga with Premgi Amaren, Sevili and the heroine-centric Snehavin Kadhalargal.

Neena Gupta is an Indian actress born on July 4, 1959 in Delhi to R. N. Gupta. As a child, she attended the Lawrence School of Sanawar and got her formal training in acting from National School of Drama (NSD), New Delhi. She has craved a niche of herself by working in theatre, non-commercial Indian films and in the international platform.

After acquiring a rooted experience in Indian theatres, Neena marked her big screen debut with 'Yeh Nazdeekiyan' in 1982. Same year she got a chance to work in an international Academy Award winning film 'Gandhi', alongside Sir Ben Kingsley. She holds the record of working in critically acclaimed films like 'Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro', 'Mandi' and 'Utsav' to name a few. While, her international projects includes film 'The Deceivers', 'In Custody' and 'Cotton Mary'. She dazzled the screen with the controversial song "Choli Ke Peeche" matching her steps with Madhuri Dixit in the film 'Khalnayak'.

Neena holds the phenomenal career in Television too, where she debuted with 'Khandaan' and further she enlightened the screen with her extra ordinary character performances in the serials 'Mirza Galib', 'Bhaarat Ek Khoj', 'Dard', 'Gumrah', 'Saans', 'Saat Phere', 'Meri Biwi Ka Jawab Nahi', 'Kitni Mohabbat Hai', 'Jassi Jaisi Koi Nahi' and 'Ladies Special'.

She also owns a production house named "Sahaj Production" with her NSD mate-actor Rajendra Gupta.

Unlike those typical 1980s ladies, Neena was much ahead of her time. She lived her life on her own terms and never bended in front of the society. This can rightly be concluded by her headline-making relationship with former West Indian cricketer Vivian Richards, with whom she got a daughter Masaba Gupta. Though she was highly criticized for her deed yet she successfully overcame it and raised her daughter being a single mother. Later she was rumored of being in relationships with Alok Nath and Sarang Dev. In 2008, she got married to a Delhi based Chartered Accountant Vivek Mehra.
