How I Masaba

Vidya Balan is living proof that conventions can be broken. When the Bollywood superstar sat down with Masaba Gupta, the two discussed Vidya’s unique career path, as well as how she prepares for, and brings emotional authenticity to, the characters she plays. Vidya also spoke candidly about body positivity in the face of public scrutiny, and how her relationship with her body and fashion (Vidya is one of the first few actresses to take the traditional Indian garment, the sari, international) has evolved. 

Masaba Gupta talks to Chef Garima Arora, the first Indian woman to win a Michelin star for her Bangkok restaurant, GAA. Garima speaks about her newfound love of working out (and forever love of nachos), experience working at Noma, and philosophies on leadership and culture-building.

Masaba Gupta talks to Sania Mirza about her glorious tennis career--how it all began, and the sacrifices it took to become the world's number one. Sania muses about her impending retirement, and how motherhood has affected her personal life and her tennis career. She also talks about the life-changing match she played with Serena Williams.

Designer and actress Masaba Gupta sits down with fellow badass femmes to learn how they do them. These are the inspirational mindsets, necessary daily practices, and only-funny-in-hindsight experiences that have defined, and continue to drive, some of our culture’s most talented people.
