It’s been a year of revelations for fashion designer Masaba Gupta, who recently turned actor, but that’s not the only reinvention she’s embraced
The last time I met Masaba Gupta was three years ago for an HT Brunch interview. Known for her candour, she had spoken with brutal honesty about growing up as a child born out of wedlock and facing bullying and bodyshaming from a very early age. But there were strict instructions to not ask any questions about her impending divorce from her then-husband of four years, producer Madhu Mantena.
