Early life
Masaba Gupta was born in 1989 and is the daughter of Indian actress Neena Gupta and West Indies cricketer Viv Richards and grew up in Mumbai. Her parents never married and she was raised by her mother, who moved the family from New Delhi to Mumbai. Gupta found a father figure in her late maternal grandfather, and when she turned 20 she reconnected with her father and the two now share a strong bond.

At the age of 8 she wanted to become a tennis player, but stopped training at 16. Passionate about dance and music, Gupta wanted to join Shiamak Davar's dance group, but did not when her mother discouraged it. She subsequently took up a course in music and dance in London, but dropped out when she felt lonely and homesick.

She later joined Premlila Vithaldas Polytechnic of SNDT Women's University.

Masaba has stated that her schooling was sometimes marred with racism from other students.
