 In a podcast hosted by Queenie Singh, Masaba said, “She didn't allow me to be an actor. Okay. Which is why, so I remember there's Anupam Kher's acting school in Mumbai. They share a wall with SNDT College. And I said, I want to go and study acting because I want to be an actor. And she said, don't even think about it. You know, you have this look which is very artsy, international, and almost not Indian. You'll get put in a box. And the industry at the time was very different”. Masaba is the daughter of actress Neena and former West Indies cricketer Vivian Richard, The two welcomed their daughter in 1989. Talking about Neena, a National Award-winning actress, is known for her work in “Woh Chokri”, “Uunchai”, “Badhaai Ho”, “Gandhi”.
