Readers would recall that Masaba Gupta took to her social media to announce yet another new venture and this time around it was a podcast. The ambitious, fiery, and popular fashion designer has been experimenting with different things, from acting to now podcasts. And now in the latest episode, the daughter of the very unconventional Neena Gupta, discusses what it is like to be a star kid and the child of cricket legend Vivian Richards.
Masaba Gupta discusses about being a star-kid; says, “It has helped me 70% of the time but 30% it has gone against me”
There have been many debates about nepotism and the privileges that star kids are expected to have. In her recent podcast, as she discussed her bold approach towards tabooed topics that will also be a part of her show, Masaba Gupta also opened up about the pros and cons of being a celebrity kid in an interview with News18. “I think 70% of the time it has helped me, and 30% of the time it’s gone against me. And the reason it has gone against me is because I think that every time I do a bunch of things people think, ‘Oh, she has so much support from her parents financially’, or they think I have more doors open for me than other people,” said the designer turned actress.
She continued, “But I’m not denying the privilege, I don’t think I ever have. I just believe that I’m the one person who really needs to use the opportunities. You can be privileged and just lie all day and not do anything about it. So I think everyone should make use of what was handed to them on a platter and really work hard with it. But sometimes when people say she has this much financial support and she got this because of her parents – a lot of people think I get a lot of press because of my parents – I think that it’s a very short-term thing to be a star child, it’s not a phase that’s going to last your whole life. I don’t think anybody’s interested in somebody sitting around with their privilege doing nothing. Eventually, they’ll write about someone else. I do feel that comes in my way sometimes, but in a good way, not in a bad way.”
