Fashion designer-actor Masaba Gupta recently opened up about being different from her mother Neena Gupta and also how much likes to read the reviews of her work. She also revealed that unlike her mother she likes 'tags' and 'goes after them' because they are important to her.
Masaba is often hailed as ‘millennial star’, ‘destiny’s child’ and ‘game changer’.
In an exclusive conversation with News18, Masaba said, 'I read all the reviews of Masaba Masaba and Modern Love Mumbai. I read the good stuff and the bad, and I read them many times. Sometimes in the middle of a review, you might find something that helps you and makes you a better actor or a business person.'
'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,' she said.
She further added, '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.'
Talking about her fashion shows reviews, she said, 'Fashion show reviews can be hardcore. And at that time, not many people were very kind always, I remember this one time when I had done a show after a year and one of the reviews referred to me as a phoenix rising from the ashes, and it was my worst collection. It did so badly that I didn’t have the heart to tell the writer that they were wrong. You’ve to take everything with a pinch of salt and be aware of your own reality.'
On the work front, Masaba was recently seen in the second season of the Netflix web series, ‘Masaba Masaba’, and a short titled ‘I Love Thane’ in the anthology film ‘Modern Love Mumbai’.
