The Shocking Truth Behind Masaba Gupta's Birth Certificate Theft
Imagine being just a child and suddenly finding out that your most private document—the proof of your existence—has been stolen and splashed across the front page of a newspaper. For Masaba Gupta, this wasn't a nightmare; it was her reality.
In a recent revelation, Masaba opened up about how her birth certificate was stolen from the hospital shortly after her birth in 1989. The motive? To prove that she was born out of wedlock to actress Neena Gupta and West Indies cricket legend Vivian Richards. "My birth certificate when I was born was stolen from the hospital and leaked to the press and was on the front page of a paper because someone wanted to prove that I was an illegitimate child," Masaba shared in an emotional interview.
At just 9 or 10 years old, Masaba didn't fully grasp the gravity of the situation, but she could sense the confusion and pain it caused her mother. "I don't think I fully understood it but I could see versions of it. But I didn't understand why it was done. Cruel, strange, very bad for my mum," she said, reflecting on the incident.
The person behind this act was none other than journalist Pritish Nandy, who allegedly orchestrated the theft to reveal the identity of Masaba's father. Neena Gupta, who raised Masaba as a single mother, was devastated. In an old interview, she recalled how Nandy sent someone pretending to be a relative to collect the birth certificate, which was then published in a magazine, sparking a media frenzy.
"He stole my baby's birth certificate and published it. So no RIP, you understand, and I have proof of it," Neena wrote on social media, openly calling out Nandy for his actions. The incident not only exposed Masaba's identity but also branded her as a 'love child' as she grew older.
This story is a stark reminder of the invasive nature of media and the lasting impact such actions can have on individuals and families. Masaba's courage in speaking out about her experience is both inspiring and heartbreaking.
