“Being a modern woman, do I have the guts to have a baby out of wedlock? Never. I don’t want to take that extra pressure, and put a child in that space,” she had said.

Masaba was herself born to single mother Neena Gupta in 1989. Her father is renowned West Indies cricketer Vivian Richards, who never married Neena. Neena went on to marry Delhi-based businessman Vivek Mehra in 2008.

“I have been tagged as too modern for being born out of wedlock. Honestly, it’s wonderful to be modern, but there’s no size that fits everyone. I think the responsibility of being modern is to be accepted. However, we have become more intolerant. I think we are going back in time,” added Masaba.
