Masaba Gupta was born in 1989[2] and is the daughter of Indian actress Neena Gupta and West Indies cricketer Viv Richards and grew up in Mumbai.[3] Her parents never married and she was raised by her mother, who moved the family from New Delhi to Mumbai. Gupta found a father figure in her late maternal grandfather, and when she turned 20 she reconnected with her father and the two now share a strong bond.[4]
At the age of 8 she wanted to become a tennis player,[5] but stopped training at 16.[3] Passionate about dance and music, Gupta wanted to join Shiamak Davar's dance group, but did not when her mother discouraged it.[citation needed] She subsequently took up a course in music and dance[6] in London, but dropped out when she felt lonely and homesick.[7][6]
She later joined Premlila Vithaldas Polytechnic of SNDT Women's University.[citation needed]
Masaba has stated that her schooling was sometimes marred with racism from other students.[8]
