Masaba Gupta, who is soon to become a mother, is a well-known designer. She is also the daughter of Neena Gupta. Well, recently, Masaba opened up about being body-shamed and trolled for skin on social media. She mentioned that netizens commented saying that she has skin like veteran actor Om Puri.
In conversation with Faye D’Souza, Masaba Gupta recalled shooting a video for Instagram and deciding not to put any filter on it. This led to a flood of comments. “It is a skin tint I am showing people, and if I put a filter, my face will look kind of blurred. Someone said, ‘But what are you doing with a makeup brand, you have skin like Om Puri.’ What business does anyone have to talk about anything except Om Puri’s acting talent? Sometimes, all that people see is textured skin or acne scars on you. Which is why I have to keep doing more, being more successful. That’s my fight. Hopefully, 10 years later, someone will say they could see beyond my scars,” she added.
In the same interview, Masaba revealed that how her mother said that she was not meant for acting. “She said that the industry in India has always functioned a certain way, and there are certain faces people associate with that of an actor. She said, ‘You will always be considered a bit out of the box, too artsy, that probably get vamp roles, the seductress’. She said if you want to be a mainstream Hindi film heroine, it won’t happen, so I should let it go,” Masaba told Faye D’Souza.
Masaba Gupta, who is expecting her first baby with Satyadeep Misra, recently opened up about her thoughts on parenting. As she awaits the arrival of her first child in October, she expressed her desire to be actively involved in raising her child, drawing inspiration from her mother, Neena Gupta.
Masaba Gupta and Satyadeep Misra got married on January 27, 2023, in an intimate wedding ceremony attended by close family members. Among the guests was her father, Vivian Richards, who travelled from the Caribbean to be part of the special day.
