Masaba Gupta is known for her celebrity clothing brand. However, she followed in the footsteps of her actress mom Neena Gupta, and showcased her caliber as an actor in their web series, Masaba Masaba. While the audience was impressed by watching the mother-daughter duo on-screen, her mom once advised her not to keep her hopes high as she cannot become a ‘mainstream Hindi film heroine’. While talking to Faye D’Souza on her YouTube channel, mom-to-be Masaba Gupta recalled being warned by her mother Neena Gupta. She told the journalist that her mom said that the industry in India has always functioned a certain way, and there are certain faces people associate with that of an actor. Hence, she would always be considered a bit out of the box and too artsy who would probably get vamp roles or that of a ‘seductress’. The Badhaai Ho actress further told her daughter “If you want to be a mainstream Hindi film heroine, it won’t happen”. Therefore, she should let it go.

Masaba Gupta, the daughter of Neena Gupta and Vivian Richards, is a well-known fashion designer and entrepreneur. She has been open about her struggles with mental health and has spoken about her experiences with anxiety and depression. Masaba’s mother, Neena Gupta, is a renowned actress and has been a strong advocate for mental health awareness.

But she decided not to fight with the haters on social media, rather putting her head down and working hard to become more successful until the day comes when people could see her beyond her scars.
