Genre: Biographical web television series

Duration: 1 season, 6 episodes

Masaba Masaba is a TV series that is a scripted version of the life of Masaba Gupta and her mother Neena Gupta.

You may have heard of Neena Gupta before, she is an actress in India and her daughter Masaba is a fashion designer who owns her own fashion line called the House of Masaba. They are now letting us into their lives and showing us what it is like to be two single women in India.

The show starts with Masaba at her fashion house where there are rumors floating around in the press that her husband is divorcing her. After attending an award ceremony together, he confirms that he does want to split up and Masaba is distraught.

 She cannot bare the thought of being in their house any longer and so she moves in with her mother, who wants to get back into acting.

We are also introduced to many other characters within the series, some of which are famous in Bollywood, including Farah Khan and Kiara Advani.

The series navigates through the lives of these two women in India and their celebrity status that effects them along the way. Unfortunately, it does not delve too much into their relationship with each other, but it is a refreshing take to the industry and the star kid's life that Masaba faces.

So what do we know about Neena and Masaba’s real lives. Neena is a brilliant actress who had an affair with cricketer Vivian Richards back in the 80’s who was from the West Indies. Neena never married Richards and instead chose to raise Masaba as a single mother. She then went on to marry chartered accountant Vivek Mehra. Masaba on the other hand married film producer Madhu Mantena in 2015 but as we see it played out on screen the two decide to separate and then divorce. They have no children together, but they do remain friends.

Overall, I believe the show deserves a watch as it is interesting to see the fashion industry from a different light rather than just all the glitz and glamour. But be prepared for the fact that not all of this is based on real life and some of the characters have been enhanced for the show.
