For Masaba Gupta, the journey has never been easy. As the daughter of Neena Gupta and Sir Vivian Richards, she fought a lot of battles — particularly, racism and objectification. With every blow the misogynistic, racist society threw at her, she emerged stronger. The ace-designer sat down for a conversation with close friend Sonam Kapoor on Film Companion’s show Tape Cast and by the end of it we got a fair idea about her life.
Not long ago, Masaba Gupta stood against trolls who somehow thought it was okay to comment on her parentage. Why? Because she supported the ban against firecrackers. Being the woman of substance that she is, Gupta did not bow down to these jobless trolls and gave them a befitting reply. In this conversation as well, Masaba Gupta spoke with great candour about her life and we cannot help but appreciate it.

On objectification
Masaba Gupta also spoke about the harassment she faced in school, which goes on to prove that we need to teach our kids that being sensitive and considerate never hurt anyone.
