Masaba Gupta and Satyadeep Misra are eagerly awaiting the arrival of their first child. Masaba, daughter of acclaimed actress Neena Gupta and legendary West Indies cricketer Vivian Richards, recently spoke out about the unsolicited and often insensitive advice she has received during her pregnancy. During an interview with Faye D’Souza, she described how people advised her to consume certain foods like rasgulla and milk to influence her baby’s skin tone, reflecting the types of inappropriate comments many pregnant women endure.

Masaba shared, “Just yesterday, someone advised me to eat a rasgulla daily to ensure my child turns out lighter. Another told me, ‘You must consume milk; your child must not turn out dusky.’ It’s said with such innocence, but it’s deeply frustrating.” Despite such remarks, she emphasizes the need to raise strong children capable of facing societal challenges. She pointed out that while some discriminatory attitudes are now whispered, they remain prevalent, even among educated and affluent individuals. Masaba finds it absurd that calling someone “kaali” (dark-skinned) remains an insult in 2024, highlighting the enduring nature of colorism in society.

Highlighting the significance of fostering resilience, she asserts, “The number of times people think calling someone ‘kaali’ is a way of putting them down is so absurd. This mindset persists, and not just among certain societal sections but even among well-read, wealthy individuals. It’s 2024, yet it hasn’t changed.”

Masaba and Satyadeep Misra, who tied the knot last January, joyfully announced their pregnancy in April. The couple has also shared the screen in the Netflix series “Masaba Masaba,” which ran for two seasons, though a third has not yet been confirmed. Their journey, both personal and professional, continues to captivate their fans as they prepare for this new chapter in their lives.

Bollywood stars Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone have welcomed their first child, a baby girl, much to the delight of their fans. The couple, who announced their pregnancy earlier this year, received an outpouring of congratulations and love on social media. Fans had been eagerly awaiting the news of the baby’s gender, and now the excitement is palpable.

Ranveer has always been open about his adoration for Deepika, expressing his desire to have a daughter who resembles her. On his quiz show, “The Big Picture,” he shared his dream of starting a family and reminisced about how much he enjoyed looking at Deepika’s baby photos. This heartfelt revelation underscored his anticipation of becoming a father.

During the promotion of his film “Jayeshbhai Jordaar,” Ranveer was asked about his preference for a boy or a girl. He emphasized that the gender didn’t matter to him; he would be equally happy either way. He likened it to receiving prasad (a religious offering), explaining that both laddu and sheera are accepted with gratitude.

Ranveer and Deepika tied the knot in a lavish ceremony at Lake Como, Italy, in 2018, a wedding that captured the public’s imagination and was one of the most talked-about events of the year. Their fans admire them for their deep love and respect for each other, having worked together in hit films like “Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela,” “Bajirao Mastani,” and “Padmaavat.”

Despite their busy professional lives, with upcoming appearances in “Singham Again” alongside Ajay Devgn, Kareena Kapoor Khan, and Akshay Kumar, their personal lives have taken center stage with this joyous news. “Singham Again” is set to release on November 1, 2024.
