As the world steps into 2026, celebrated fashion designer Masaba Gupta has shared a profound and empowering message, centering her New Year wish on the power of fearlessness for all women. Reflecting on a year of significant personal change, Gupta opened up about her own evolution and the joy she finds in her daughter's spirited nature.
A Year of Transformation and Shedding Skin
Masaba Gupta candidly expressed that the year gone by fundamentally altered her identity. She described this metamorphosis as a process that is equally terrifying and exhilarating. Taking to her official Instagram handle, the designer penned a thoughtful note, emphasizing that change is the only constant in life.
"I'll tell you what this year taught me - that I am no longer who I used to be. And that is terrifying .. but it's great news. It's nice to shed your skin every once in a while," Masaba wrote. This admission highlights her journey of personal growth and acceptance of life's inevitable shifts.
The Core Wish: Fearlessness as a Guiding Principle
The heart of Masaba's New Year message was a heartfelt wish directed towards women everywhere. Her inspiration for this call to action stems from observing her own child. She posted delightful photos of her daughter, Matara, fearlessly enjoying the beach and waves with her father, actor Satyadeep Mishra.
Seeing her daughter's cheerful and bold approach to life fills Masaba with immense happiness. "And that nothing makes me happier than watching my daughter running into the waves happily & fearlessly. I guess I wish for all women to be fearless...that is our core and that will dictate what the world order will be. Happy New Year :)," she added. Gupta positions fearlessness not just as a personal trait but as a foundational force capable of shaping the future global landscape.
Family Life and Social Media Glimpses
Masaba Gupta tied the knot with actor Satyadeep Mishra in 2023. The couple welcomed their first child, daughter Matara, in October 2024. The designer frequently offers her followers sweet glimpses into their family life, especially her playful moments with Matara, through her social media posts.
Earlier, on Masaba's birthday in November, her mother, veteran Bollywood actress Neena Gupta, shared an adorable video. The clip showed Neena lovingly trying to teach her granddaughter to chant 'Om'. In a humorous twist, the little one, in a fun mood, kept addressing her grandmother by her first name, 'Neena', instead.
Masaba Gupta's message for 2026 transcends a simple greeting; it is a rallying cry. By connecting her personal journey of change with the fearless spirit she sees in her daughter, she advocates for a world where women embrace their core strength without apprehension, setting the stage for a new world order.
