News India Live, Digital Desk: Bollywood kids Struggles: We often see the shine of stars. We think, “Man, their life is so perfect!” Just look at Masaba Gupta, today she is a famous fashion designer, actress and is living a happy married life. She looks very cool and strong. But do you know that behind this strength lies a childhood that even today brings out tears when scratched? Recently, Masaba opened a page of her past which can make anyone angry after reading or listening to it. During the interview, she could not control her emotions and cried. “Just to prove that my father has no name…” Masaba is the daughter of veteran actress Neena Gupta and West Indies cricketer Vivian Richards. In the 80s and 90s, when Neena Gupta decided to become an unwed mother, the society taunted her a lot. But its worst impact was on Masaba. Masaba told in a trembling voice that when she was in school, some people (press or society contractors) had leaked her birth certificate. Imagine, a little girl’s personal information was made public. And why was all this done? Just to show the world with “proof” that Masaba is an “illegal child” and her father’s name is not in the documents. Attack the innocence of childhood. Just imagine putting yourself in the place of that girl. At an age when children are stressed about toys and homework, Masaba was being made to realize that her very existence was wrong. Masaba told that this incident had a deep impact on her mind. He could not understand why the world was after him. Neena Gupta tried her best to save him, but the world outside the walls of the house was very cruel. Even today, that wound has not healed. Even though today Masaba is successful and people praise her, but that childhood wound has not completely healed. His tears while talking showed that the sharp arrows of words leave a deeper impact than physical wounds. Today society is changing, but this story of Masaba forces us to think how wrong it is to make a spectacle of someone’s personal life, especially the identity of a child.
