According to reports, Netflix has sanctioned a web series inspired by designer Masaba Gupta’s life, where she will feature alongside actor and mother Neena Gupta. The show will trace her journey from her lineage to her professional highs, her fight for body positivity and her personal life.
The Sonam Nair-directed project, produced and conceptualised by Ashvini Yardi, will be headlined by Masaba and actor-mother Neena, thus marking their first outing together on screen.
According to a trade source, “Masaba and Ashvini have been spotted together on several occasions over the past year. It has now emerged that the two were finalising the concept of the show. While the web series takes inspiration from Masaba's life, it has been fictionalised to an extent. It will see Masaba as a fashion designer who navigates her professional and personal life after her divorce. No prizes for guessing that Neena will be seen as her mother. Both women loved the concept and immediately said yes.”
The series will reportedly feature several real-life incidents from Bollywood and also certain stars like Alia Bhatt and Sonam Kapoor who are said to be close to Masaba.
