Another picture is a black and white photo of two people, whom Masaba has not named. Masaba posted the pictures on her Instagram with a simple caption and wrote, "My world. My blood." The post was flooded with love from fans as well as their industry friends.
"Beautiful pic with beautiful msg," wrote a fan. Another one commented, "I must appreciate your mother,she was daring in those days when women could not even think about challenging the societal norms."
Neena was in a relationship with Vivian in the 1980s. They decided not to get married, even after they had their daughter, Masaba. Neena was an extraordinary lady to have brought up her child, from outside wedlock, single-handedly in that era.
In 2018, Masaba made special efforts to meet Vivian on his birthday. Sharing a post on Instagram, she had written, "I’ts been a bit astonishing, how short life can be .. which is why I dropped every single ‘important’ thing I was doing to come surprise my dad on his birthday today & even had an impromptu family reunion. Missing the husband,though. Happy birthday , dad - I’m really trying to make this emotional , but you’re 66 now & still can’t send a whatsapp & think a smartphone is the devil incarnate."
Masaba is a successful fashion designer and made her acting debut recently with Netflix’s Masaba Masaba which featured Neena as herself.
