Masaba Gupta's 'OGs' Comment Sparks Mrunal Thakur Controversy
7 Sep
Summary
- Masaba Gupta praised Bipasha Basu's magazine cover, calling her an 'OG'.
- Gupta's comments are seen as a dig at Mrunal Thakur's resurfaced remarks.
- Thakur's past comments about Bipasha and muscles caused a controversy.
Fashion designer Masaba Gupta recently sparked social media discussion with her praise for Bipasha Basu's latest magazine cover shoot. Gupta lauded Basu, calling her one of the industry's "original" stars and emphasizing her unique athletic build.
Gupta's comments were widely interpreted as a veiled critique of actor Mrunal Thakur. This interpretation was fueled by a resurfaced clip from Thakur's past, where she made remarks comparing herself favorably to Basu and referencing women with muscles. The old video had previously ignited controversy and accusations of body-shaming against Thakur, who had issued an apology, stating she was young and her words were playful banter.
Basu, who had previously responded to the controversy with an empowering message, is set to return to acting. She will star in Hansal Mehta's crime thriller series 'Barabanki', based on a book about dismantling a drug cartel in Uttar Pradesh. This marks her comeback after a six-year hiatus following the birth of her child.
