Farah Khan
Farah Khan we meet in the second episode of Masaba Masaba is trying to cut down weight through intermittent fasting and is about to make the female-centric remake of Shaukeen with Vicky Kaushal as the object of lust (didn't she know what happened to Akshay Kumar remake?). Neena Gupta wanted to play one of the 'nymphomaniac' older women in the film, and Farah assures her that she would write the role keeping her in mind. Only for Neena to learn later that Farah has herself cast in that role (didn't she learn what happened to Shirin Farhad Ki Toh Nikal Padi?).
Shibani Dandekar
In the same episode, we also meet Shibani Dandekar, who Masaba calls as one of her 'best' friends and is seen attending her art exhibition. The fun part is seeing Shibani's 'art collections' which are as pretentious as the singer-host's fake persona that she pulls up in the series.
Mithila Palkar
In the fourth episode, Neena Gupta gets the chance to appear in a funky music video, where she gets to share screen with Mithila Palkar. But Mithila we meet here is not the chirpy, cherubic actress we know. Instead, she is quite the diva, who can't get her steps right, cribs about them and then gets jealous when she sees Neena get the steps right.
