Fashion designer and actress Masaba Gupta, who is expecting her first child with husband Satyadeep Misra, has spoken candidly about the body shaming she faces for her acne scars.
In an interview with Faye D’Souza, Gupta recalled an incident where she shared a video of herself on Instagram without using any filters. “It is a skin tint I am showing people, and if I put a filter, my face will look kind of blurred. Someone said, ‘But what are you doing with a makeup brand, you have skin like Om Puri.’ What business does anyone have to talk about anything except Om Puri’s acting talent?” she said.
Gupta expressed her frustration with the constant focus on her skin imperfections. “Sometimes, all that people see is textured skin or acne scars on you. Which is why I have to keep doing more, being more successful. That’s my fight. Hopefully, 10 years later, someone will say they could see beyond my scars,” she said.
Gupta’s open and honest discussion about her experiences highlights the widespread issue of body shaming and the pressure on women to conform to unrealistic beauty standards.
The pregnant star recently announced her pregnancy on Instagram with a series of pictures showcasing her growing baby bump. The news was met with immense joy and support from fans and family members, including her mother, veteran actress Neena Gupta.
Masaba Gupta is known for her bold and outspoken personality, using her platform to champion body positivity and self-acceptance. Her recent comments about facing body shaming serve as a reminder that celebrities, despite their glamorous appearances, are not immune to the harsh realities of societal pressures.
