Masaba Gupta recently opened up about being hailed as a ‘millennial star’, ‘destiny’s child’, and ‘game changer’ in a new interview. The fashion designer, entrepreneur, and actor said she likes such labels. Masaba also revealed that, unlike her mother, actor Neena Gupta, she likes ‘tags’ and ‘goes after them’ because they are important to her. Masaba added she was ‘very ambitious’ and wanted to ‘influence a generation’ with her work.
Further, the fashion designer told News18 that she is grateful for her new-found fame. According to Masaba, not everyone can be relevant and when somebody is labeling her as relevant, she wants to embrace it. She went on to add that unlike her mother-actress Neena Gupta, she likes tags and always goes after them because they are important to her. The star daughter told the new portal that she wants to be called multiple things and wants to influence a generation.
“I’m not like my mom (Neena Gupta; actor). I like tags and I go after them because they are important to me. I’m very ambitious like that. I want to be called multiple things. I want to influence a generation,” Masaba told News18. She further said,
“Labels like reviews are always welcome. I take everything I can get. I love it. I collect all my magazine covers and I read them right from the first word to the last. I frame them sometimes.”
Masaba Gupta work
On the work front, apart from playing herself in the second season of her web series, ‘Masaba Masaba’, she also featured in a short titled ‘I Love Thane’ in the anthology film ‘Modern Love Mumbai’.
In an interview earlier this month, Masaba had spoken about whether being the daughter of Neena Gupta and former West Indies cricketer Viv Richards had ever been disadvantageous to her. In the interview with News18, Masaba said that while most of the time it has helped her, there were occasions, when it did not work out for her. Masaba had said,
“I think 70 percent of the time it has helped me, and 30 percent of the time it’s gone against me. And the reason it has gone against me is that I think that every time I do a bunch of things people think, ‘Oh, she has so much support from her parents financially’, or they think I have more doors open for me than other people.”
