The story of fashion designer Masaba Gupta is nothing short of inspiring. In the world of photoshop and fake filters, she has inspired us to break free and embrace our flaws without shame. Gupta has time and again spoken of colorism and how she’s unapologetic of her scars, lines, and wrinkles.
This time, she urged her social media followers to never feel ashamed about their looks and appearances and always keep their chin up ‘no matter where they come from’.
Taking to Instagram, she wrote:
An avid social media user, Masaba also lauded MUA Elton Fernandez for making her look like herself and not whitewashing her in one of her shoots.
Sharing another hard hitter, the ‘Masaba Masaba’ actor penned how she is often asked who she is or who she wants to be. However, she never has an answer to them.
Masaba truly has set the right precedent and has empowered so many of us who feel ashamed and underconfident because we don’t really fit into the ‘beauty standards’ of society. We’re glad to have people like her for keeping it real and raw.
