Hello Bollywood buffs! Gather around as Khabree Kiran takes you on another rollercoaster ride through the glitzy yet gritty world of Bollywood. Today, we’re diving into the world of fashionista Masaba Gupta, who has faced her share of challenges thanks to the ever-critical desi lens. Buckle up, because this one’s a whirlwind of emotions and revelations! 🎢
Masaba Gupta, the ace designer who’s turned heads with her bold and vibrant styles, recently spilled the beans about her journey through the labyrinth of racism and body shaming. In a heart-to-heart with Faye D’Souza on her YouTube channel, Masaba let us in on some truths. She revealed how the play of light and shadow can magically alter perceptions. "Ek baar toh, I looked fairer in a shoot, and people were like, ‘Arre, how come you’re so fair?’ Bhai, it’s just lighting and filters," she quipped. Kaun samjhaye these light-lovers?
But wait, there’s more! Ever since she launched her makeup brand, Lovechild, some people have shown their true rang. Someone had the audacity to compare her skin to Om Puri’s! Arre baba, Om Puri’s acting is what deserves discussion, not his skin. "People only see my textured skin or acne scars," she mentioned. But Masaba isn’t one to back down. "I’ll keep striving for success, and maybe in a decade, someone will see beyond the scars," she asserted. Talk about perseverance! 💪
Now, here’s a twist straight out of a Bollywood script. Masaba’s mom, the ever-talented Neena Gupta, once advised her against entering the acting biz. "Beta, this industry has a type. You’ll be the artsy one, maybe a vamp, but a heroine? Unlikely," Neena had said. Masaba, being the spotlight-loving soul she is, decided she wouldn’t settle for anything less than the lead role. "Supporting cast? Main toh front and center hoon," Masaba declared. You go, girl! 🎬
For those who came in late, Masaba is the talented offspring of actress Neena Gupta and cricket legend Vivian Richards. In October 2024, she and her hubby, Satyadeep Mishra, welcomed their little bundle of joy—a baby girl. Parenthood seems to suit her just as well as her designer outfits!
Kiran’s Gyan:
In Bollywood, where faces are often judged more harshly than performances, Masaba’s story is a reminder. Even the brightest stars face shadows. Just remember, yaar, life is like a Bollywood movie—full of twists, turns, and a lot of drama. Whether it’s lighting, filters, or preconceived notions, always be ready for the next scene. After all, har film ka hero ya heroine, we all are! 🌟
