Masaba is so much more than just the daughter of Neena Gupta and Viv Richards, I wish she could go through an interview without being asked about her parents.
This people get fame easily because of their parents. There r many designers who are more talented than her but they can't reach to top. This famous parents child easily get everything name fame and money. Also bcoz of her parents name and money she was able to work in big fashion shows and brands easily... So her parents should be mentioned always...bcoz she was here bcoz of them only. Otherwise chota sa designer bankar rehti market me apna kapda Bechtel hue
Jealousy can really be a friendship killer. Masaba is an aesthetically beautiful person, and I think that was the root of these people targeting her and tried to come against her because of the melanin in her skin. Happy to see that her career continues to blossom
Excellent interview, Masaba Gupta, her unique story within the India context and her journey to embracing who she is, truly is captivating and awe-inspiring. India should definitely promote more such women. Dark is lovely and the wisdom shining through her.. her mother did an exceptional job!
I heard about masaba from my neighbour kalimullah in ponda,Goa.We used to watch and play cricket with Vivian Richards and night Neena Gupta on hindi seriel in our childhood.Lots of waters flowed from Ganges since than.Its nice to see grown up masaba with career God bless,and tribute to my neighbour.
What the f is that. It’s not her fault, she was born like that, why everyone has to ask her shitti QUESTIONS all the time. You are beautiful no matter what !!! So much love and respect for you Masaba !!!!💐💐😘😍❤️❤️🥰💋💄💄🌹😊💃💕😊🌹💐💐💐💐😘
Could b , would you mind sharing the source ? Coz light color is often associated with wealth coz people of high ranks could afford to live indoors while poor had to work out in the sun. But if you see evolution dark skin is less likely to get damaged from UV or get old. So people with dark skinned people can look younger longer compared to light skinned people. The only limitation that dark skinned people including me we need to sit out in the sun longer for vitamin d synthesis.
@@penacle7 It's to do with how light is reflected from lighter skin and how the human eye perceives it. Features are more prominently visible. Of course, beauty is subjective but that mostly applies to people close to us and whom we love.
Loved the interview. Shows people can go to any extent to hurt you. They are insensitive. Why Indian society love and care so much for FAIR AND LOVELY . Shame on them. I love you MASABA
Living in the US and having seen a lot of Caribbean people, this interview is very interesting. Loved Masaba's take on that sense of complete abandon and how easy and liberating it is to just tell yourself "its ok" , laugh and move on. I am a fan already!
I still have friends, amazing beautiful fair women who’d at times share anxiety how Their complexion is getting darker and want advise what to do! Unfortunately still in India at large fair is beautiful and dark is ugly. One of my gorgeous dark Skinned South Indian friend ( lives in us) told me how her mother in law was upset to see her new born baby girl because she felt the Baby was too dark!
Good interview. But Barkha why would you need those headlines and one-liner flash in your programs? We arent so silly an audience that we need these 'cues' to grasp or appreciate what's being discussed or be baited into clicking and viewing it. Or are you trying to commit it to your audiences' memory that boys checked Masaba's shorts to ridicule her? Lol. It's just nice to hear it plainly and people-to-people they connect to one's story. If I may, I suggest doing away with these TV-like practices. Wish you good luck with your channel.
I watched it because I like Masaba. You are a good interviewer as well. The text was distracting for me, and it was nicer to just hear in podcast mode.
I didn’t know who Masaba was until I saw the show on Netflix.. as an American woman of African descent, I could immediately identify with Masaba. To me this was a black woman living in India, she looks like many of my friends and family. I have this fascination with Indian culture... I think it is so beautiful and vast. However, i think Indian culture is sort of closed off to people of African ancestry. I work with Indian people who won’t even speak to me. I believe it is because I am a black woman. I can only imagine the hell Masaba experienced. It’s good to have someone who is both Indian and of African descent be represented in the media ...ie Kamala Harris. ✌🏾and ❤️
Trust me, I sympathize with your situation. You must understand that Indians have never been introduced to Africans in the first place historically, so they look at them with shock and when they look at white people with awe or fascination, that's just due to colonial hangover. Interaction with Africans needs to begin in the first place.
@@dreamerachiever2718 thank you. You make a wonderful point.. I also think the media can sometime portray African/Black people in a negative light which may effect how people who have never interacted with black people feel about black people. Together, however we can change the narrative.
I am an Indian. I love travelling in Europe, I like the history and stories of each country. But I have always faced racism there. People wouldn't even help me out with directions. Some would turn away rudely. I was extra generous with my tips and extra careful with my manners as I didn't want to be judged. But to no avail.
@@thambisan Europe can be tough and so can the US for any person of color. Our experiences are so similar and I can identify with making sure to be generous with the amount I tip here in the US for the same reason. Unfortunately, no amount of tipping and good manners can cure racism.
I'm very confused, masaba skin color is lighter than most people from India, who have very very dark complexion. It is the texture of her hair and her features, that there is an issue with.
It's interesting to see how unaware/intrigued (both positively and negatively) India is to bi-racial individuals. Where I live, every 5th person is bi-racial. Good to see Masaba represent so well such a small minority. However its quite tedious to see literally all her interviews based around her race. There's soo much more to her than that. I don't understand why her race is such a big deal. But I guess in India it is
Sir Issac Vivian Alexander Richards , the fearless attacking batsman, was my childhood hero. I am sure he was indeed -for millions of Indians.He is nice human being as well. That Masaba is Viv’s daughter is enough to like her and wish her all the very best !
She is much lighter in complexion than many Indians. The host talk as if Indian is full of white people, instead of brawn, and very black skin people. Focus the discussion on her feature, which I believe is more of a problem for Indians, than her complexion.
To Barkha, can we have another show on book reviews, please? All the books you have read, ones you found fascinating and maybe interview/conversation with some national and international authors. Thanks.
Masaba, your beautiful human! 💪🏻😊❤️ Shocking that the society brings up their kids so irresponsibly bullying her when She was in school. Great that she left toxic people very earlier !
Neena Gupta is a true hero. She raised a child out of a wedlock. I really adore and respect her for taking such a step in that era. Where in even now nobody in Indian society has the courage to do this.
Illegitimacy is an extremely sensitive topic..... the child's parents are to be blamed... not the child..... though, in this case..... the child's parents are well to do......... Bullying is not humane..... It takes humanitarianism to accept them as they are,..... It's also important to let them know their background in order to discipline them..... but their mother specially, must give them the best upbringing within their means.....on that ground actress Nina Gupta has done a good job... Masaba is well brought up & Neena has done wonders in not allowing the bullying effect her psychology much.......
What sick minded school. I think the teachers in India are not sensitive towards such issues. They themselves are very biased. Such topics have to be introduced in the teachers education training. Hope this narrow view changes in future. I love Masaba’s confidence and Poise.
Good decision Masaba to cut negativity out of your life. Let those people learn to bear the consequences of their karma. 27:03 how do women stop surrendering their personality.. it must start with the right upbringing by the parents. Inculcate the values of self worth, self respect, empathy and teach them the importance of education and financial independence. That applies to a child of any gender. So true, Masaba and Barkha. It's important to be selfish and please ourselves first. Automatically the surroundings will become pleasant
Masaba is truly a breath of fresh air. She is beautiful, interesting, confident and that edginess is so attractive. So nice to see this dusky beauty. Ms Café Latte
Barka kept asking her how she felt the colour of her skin and about her unconventional family life🙄🙄🙄🙄 subtly you are being a bully please! She is beautiful with a good heart who cares what colour she is🙄 ridiculous! Your questions revolving around this two questions most of the time.🤨
Masala Masaba is an exceptional series partly bcos it has a story of A real mother daughter life... and mostly bcos both have done exceptionally justice to the story with their screen presence!
I think there wouldn't be any journalist who could really ask them how many lip jobs & face jobs they do on regular basis! How much comfortable are they with their natural body!
Salute and respect more power to women grow up men u all need some life guys, women are far more sorted than men out there we can and we will, the only drop you carry is the reason why you all are logically upward stronger no ways, women empowerment always, equality in all respect is earned 👍👍🙏
Awesome conversation... you can't make someone happy if you yourselves is not. What ever you are doing, make sure you are doing this for you and not to please someone. People don't realize that at the end, money doesn't not make you happy!
I think the topic of discussion is not a natural one. What is experienced by Masaba can be experienced by any child. I mean is this really a topic of discussion. If we line of 10 kids, you will always see some kids having unconventional looks.
Agree. We are 3 sisters. Elder one fair, 2nd one almost fair and i am dark. My dad would joke saying... He bought elder sister giving rice, and second one giving wheat and me giving Ragi. I would cry saying he should have given rice for me as well😄😄😄. It was fun. It dint affect me as such
Having shamed herself doing partisan journalism and got herself exposed, she is now into different field. Hope sha keeps away from interviewing political people. Best of luck. But for god sake be brief in your question, audience are intelligent!
Good tip - avoid people who do not have your back - there are hangers on who will project their own fears and securities on you or work to undermine you because deep down it's they who are the REAL LOSERS. India's racism is far worse than any in any democratic country and that's just a fact. Keep up the good work you and your mum are doing, Masaba and hope you're always surrounded by the best people who always have your back at the best and worst of times. You are beautiful and attractive. God bless you!
There is no such thing as racism in India, very few people understand the psychology of Indians on skin colour. It's very astonishing and beautiful. Sad people/sadists always find unreal flaws in people. The interviewer govinda ji is a sadist
In the Caribbean so many people who are monoracial and mixed race that we literally don’t gaf. You’re just a person. And these same people would go to Australia and complain about being treated like shit because they aren’t white. That is so odd to me.
Masaba is so much more than just the daughter of Neena Gupta and Viv Richards, I wish she could go through an interview without being asked about her parents.
True. Maybe Barkha wants to bring out the negative aspect of our society.
correct .. no interviews go without being asked by her dad ..
This people get fame easily because of their parents. There r many designers who are more talented than her but they can't reach to top.
This famous parents child easily get everything name fame and money.
Also bcoz of her parents name and money she was able to work in big fashion shows and brands easily...
So her parents should be mentioned always...bcoz she was here bcoz of them only.

Every person is. Every person is the titular character of their story. You just don't know that about them.
Tats right
Masaba is beautiful inside out ...so open, so honest.... anyone who fails to see that .. all I say is bless you . And hats off to your mom
Jealousy can really be a friendship killer. Masaba is an aesthetically beautiful person, and I think that was the root of these people targeting her and tried to come against her because of the melanin in her skin. Happy to see that her career continues to blossom
A Fantastic watch. Two lovely women who have evolved to inspire , guide and show fearless attitudes against odds. Bravo

God. Why are we still stuck to “the colour of skin” in this day and age. Masaba. You go girl.
She is not even dark per se

I had seen Masaba as a child twice. Even as a toddler, I remember She was very energetic
Masaba Masaba was such a hilarious web series that reflects life.
Neena Gupta is ❤️

Q1
I agree totally unnecessary
In a way,the one liners are highlighting things which shouldn't have happened in the first place!!
This interview made me fall in love with Masaba ❤
I too
Why every anchor need to ask about her parents and their situation... She is an individual and let's talk about it....
Anuraag kashyap Or zoya please we need biopic of Neena Gupta ji.
Wow what a mature young lady.
Amazing conversation. You two women truly rock. I am a Sri Lankan woman who enjoys listening to your candidness.

True! To conform means to surrender your intelligence and that's how children in India are still brought up.
Please don’t mess with screen, it is distracting. Love your hair style. Beautiful
A really wise and inspiring communication...looking forward to see more interviews of women like her....and let say men 💞
God bless you my sister,you and Neena mam symbolise the strength of women,apart from the talent you both posses.🙏
More power to you lovely ladies out there. Keep blooming! ❤️
She is brilliant! Such a powerhouse of strength and wisdom! More power to you!!!
Honesty with good vocabulary are prominent features of her
Barkha is trying to get horror stories of color discrimination and Masaba is telling is keeping calm and composed
Sometimes childrens can be so cruel and worst part is they dont realize they r being cruel.Nice interview really enjoyed it
I'm very confused, masaba skin color is lighter than most people from India, who have very very dark complexion. It is the texture of her hair and her features, that there is an issue with.

Her expressions and smile are very similar to Konkana.
You're right actually, I noticed that too after reading your comment.
After hearing this interview, I am depressed. Our culture and system can even stop Sir Richard’s daughter from being successful in sports.
OMG.. I love her confidant. And admire her so intelligent 😍

She is a great girl. I appreciate her. Leave this third class society my dear child!
The same society which has given her such recognition.

Meryl Streep quoted someone else when she said Take your broken heart make it into art...
It's not a Meryl Streep quote
Yes it was Carrie Fisher who originally quoted. Masaba though comes across a good person but She tries too hard to blend in. Just my opinion of her.
Look @26:00 Barkha mam's expression. Like she was waiting to say this for long.
Flashing text is outright irritating. Otherwise, a nice interview.
some Indians are more darker than her she is beauatifull and good personality and she have inside out beauty
