Daughter of actor Neena Gupta and cricketer Viv Richards, Masaba responded with grace and strength, “By calling me names like ‘bas***d child’ or ‘illegitimate west Indian’ it only makes my chest swell with pride. I’m the illegitimate product of two of the MOST legitimate personalities you’ll find & I’ve made the best life, both personally and professionally... out of which I’m proud of.”

Lauding her post, Bollywood actor Sonam Kapoor tweeted, “Love you Masaba.. you make us all damn proud.”

“Love you Masaba!! Proud of you girl,” Huma Qureshi wrote.

Soni Razdan tweeted, “You tell ‘em Masaba ! And there is no such thing as ‘illegitimacy’. If you exist you are ‘legitimate’. Nature has seen to that.”

Actor Soni Razdan also tweeted her support for Masaba.
