Masaba shared another throwback gem from his father's cricket days. In the picture, other teammates can be seen cheering for Viv Richards.  Masaba wrote, "Ever. I believe I'm the man." Thanks for making me believe I am the man and the woman all day everyday!"

Masaba dropped an image from her holiday bucket. In the click, she can be seen wearing a swimsuit. The caption read, "Your girl needs a holiday."

In an interview with Twinkle Khanna, Masaba addressed the speculation that her father "left her hundreds of crores." She said, "Everyone tells me till today that you have become what you've become because of your mum and your dad. Someone apparently told a friend once, they're like 'what's she got to do? Her dad's just left her like hundreds of crores.' I said, no, there's no hundreds of crores. They're being built, but I'm building that myself." For Masaba, the success of her parents - Neena Gupta and Vivian Richards - were a "great benchmark." She said, "I had two examples in my house of how great you can be."

Masaba Gupta shared an Instagram post in which the designer talked about using her father's cricket theory of "hitting the gaps" in her business. The video featured an excerpt from Viv Richards' interview, where the cricket icon was asked about his aggressive playing style. Vivian Richards replied: "It's instinctive you know...As a batsman, it's all about - you're an artist. I remember when I first went to England, my coach at Somerset said, 'Play in the V, man,' and we had contrasting views and I guess I was a little bit strong-headed at the time. But I believe that you have got to hit the gaps." Take a look:
