Masaba’s strong reply to trolls that called her the bastard child

Masaba Gupta Mantena, the daughter of actress Neena Gupta and West Indian cricketer Vivian Richards, gave it back to the trolls on Twitter after being called ‘bastard child’ and ‘illegitimate West Indian’. The ace designer was trolled on social media for expressing her support to Supreme Court’s ruling of a temporary ban on firecrackers during Diwali this year in the Delhi-NCR region.

Masaba Gupta was trolled disdainfully on social media and she silenced the abusers with a strong post on Twitter. She wrote:

“Recently I re-tweeted in support of the firecracker ban by the Supreme Court and like every other issue in this country, big or small, the trolling and bashing began.

By calling me names like ‘bastard child’ or ‘illegitimate West Indian’, it only makes my chest swell with pride. I am the illegitimate product of two of the most legitimate personalities you’ll find and I’ve made the best life, both personally and professionally, out of it which I am proud of.

I’ve been called these names since I was 10 years old and ever since I could read the newspapers, these are two words that I am immune to. My legitimacy comes from the work I do and what my contribution to the society has been. And you can try, but you will not be able to raise a single finger on either of the two.

So please, if you must, go ahead and continue calling me these names (bastard and illegitimate) if it makes you feel glorious. But know this, I am a proud Indo-Caribbean girl who doesn’t know how to shrink and crumble in shame of something you or your society cannot handle. It’s just in my ‘illegitimate’ genes.”

As she was trolled on Twitter, Masaba Gupta even found a couple of supportive tweets on the social networking website!
