Inspiration behind Masaba Gupta’s bridall

Fashion designer Masaba Gupta’s wedding with actor Satyadeep Misra grabbed the headlines. Masaba exchanged vows with her beau in an intimate ceremony on Friday. For the special occasion, she opted for a barfi pink raw silk lehenga with gold embroidery and a lime green dupatta with a wallflower print on it, and Misra, on the other hand, donned a traditional light pink kurta pyjama with a matching Nehru jacket. Masaba’s wedding look undoubtedly won hearts.

Taking to Instagram, Masaba revealed the inspiration behind her look. ‘Shringar’ – A marriage is a celebration of stability, movement and balance— much like life and Manjit Bawa’s work which has had a huge impact in my life, and this artwork provided the inspiration for my bridal line.

In the @houseofmasaba Barfi Pink ‘paan-Patti’ lehenga paired with two dupattas – one in a Lime Green Wallflower Print dupatta with a sequinned border & the other with ‘open hearts’ embellished on it in rani pink. The custom border has the first ever Masaba Motif “the palm” and “the chidiya,” which celebrate the union of tradition and freedom. A sign that women can believe in the institution of marriage yet follow their hearts and voice their thoughts freely.”

Not only she described her attire but also treated fans with details of accessories. “Jewels. I wanted a customised ‘Chand Taara’ inspired by South Indian headgears because the sun is energy, the protector and giver of life. And the various phases of the moon affect us in ways we don’t even recognise. We are driven by nature and energised by it. May we never forget that.” Neena Gupta and former West Indies player Vivian Richards had Masaba out of wedlock and have lived separately throughout their lives. Neena welcomed her daughter Masaba in 1989.

In 2008, Neena got married to chartered accountant Vivek Mehra. Meanwhile, Masaba and Satyadeep worked together in the web series ‘Masaba Masaba’ which premiered on the OTT platform Netflix. Masaba was previously married to producer Madhu Mantena and Satyadeep to actress Aditi Rao Hydari.  Masaba is a celebrated designer and made her acting debut in ‘Masaba Masaba’. Satyadeep Misra is an actor known for his work in films like ‘Bombay Velvet’, ‘No One Killed Jessica’ and the Hindi version of ‘Vikram Vedha’.
