Masaba along with Neena surprised Richards in Dubai during his birthday celebrations and posted the picture on Instagram. Posting the picture on social media Masaba wrote, It's been a bit astonishing, how short life can be .. which is why I dropped every single 'important' thing I was doing to come surprise my dad on his birthday today & even had an impromptu family reunion. Missing the husband, though."

Wishing her father, her post further reads, "She further wrote, "Happy birthday, dad - I'm really trying to make this emotional , but you're 66 now & still can't send a whatsapp & think a smartphone is the devil incarnate. Slow."

Here is Masaba Gupta family reunion photo:

Masaba was born to Neena Gupta and Vivian Richards during their brief relationship in the 1980s. Masaba has been at multiple times been abused on social media for being an "illegitimate child". In October 2017 she hit out trolls in a Twitter post saying, "I'm the illegitimate product of two of the MOST legitimate personalities you'll find & I've made the best life, both personally and professionally.. out of which I'm proud of."

Giving it to trolls in the most dignified manner, she wrote, "My legitimacy comes from the work I do & what my contribution to society has been. And you can try but you will not be able to raise a single finger on the either of the two." Masaba Gupta married Madhu Mantena Varma in June 2015. Viv Richards is currently married to Miriam Richards.
