#REVIEW MASABA MASABA It is very brave of Neena Gupta and Masaba Gupta to film the intimate parts of the highs and lows of their lives for this 6 Episode series in Ashvini Yardi's Masaba Masaba now streaming on @netflix The show that traces the life of Masaba and her relationship with her mom - the super sexy liberated women icon of our childhood - Neena Gupta, who never seems to grow old or dated. For those who are not aware, Neena Gupta has been one of the boldest and the a total badass women in the history of Indian cinema. Neena Gupta dated former West Indies cricketer Vivian Richards in the Eighties when she had only started her Bollywood journey. Masaba was born to Neena Gupta and Viv Richards in 1989. Neena did not marry Sir Vivian Richards and remained the badass who cared two F’s about what the whole world said or thought of her. The show tees off with her divorce from husband Madhu Mantena. The series captures the struggles of Neena Gupta before she started her second innings in Bollywood with Badhaai Ho. She is just so naturally a superstar that we wish there was more of her in the show. The dauntless mom and daughter live life on her own terms. Neena Gupta has forever been the woman who has lived her life fully with zero regrets. However the dynamics of her relationship with her daughter are apparently a lot more complicated. Chronicling her life in her insta stories, Masaba tries to live a life of her own battling the sheer misogyny of the society toward a single woman , or a single & celebrity woman in need of her basic independence. And in parallel , the struggle of her mother , almost 60 of age, a national award winner , a beautiful and talented actress who is trying to make a comeback against sexism and ageism by reminding the world in her insta feed that she still exists! The two parallel stories have a feel of wannabe something but not able to hit the right note. The narrative is slick yet the “voice in the head” in the slower scenes make lesser impact ! It is poignant that a series unfolding on the peripheries of the celebrity lives of Bollywood has the actual intensity of a Page 5 spoiler.#masabagupta #masabamasaba (at Silicon Valley, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEfq2pkA-ak/?igshid=1h6g0whqt5bvu
