Masaba Gupta, who is expecting her first child with actor Satyadeep Misra, recently talked about facing a financial crunch during the pandemic, but it seems her problems didn`t sit well with netizens` ideas of financial hardship. Netizens reacted after Masaba Gupta revealed that she experienced financial difficulties during the COVID-19 pandemic, where she couldn`t pay Rs 12,000 to her cook.
In conversation with Faye D`Souza, Masaba Gupta revealed, “In 2020, when COVID hit, it was the worst time of my life. I don’t think I even had ₹12,000 to pay my cook. It was that bad. In March 2020, the lockdown happened, and we thought it would mostly last for a day or two, but it was extended to 14 days. During those 14 days, my life completely turned around. I think it was the end of March or the beginning of April when my business head said, ‘There is no money now. It’s done. Nobody is buying anything.’ Fashion was at the bottom of the food chain at that time.”
