Masaba Gupta Praises Bipasha Basu’s Athletic Build, Sparks Debate Over Mrunal Thakur’s Past Remarks
Fashion designer Masaba Gupta praised Bipasha Basu's athletic physique and called her the "last of the OGs," sparking social media speculation that her remarks were an indirect response to actor Mrunal Thakur's past comments describing Bipasha as "manly with muscles." Masaba emphasized admiration for Bipasha's fitness standard and dismissed views that muscularity is unfeminine. Mrunal had previously apologized for her remarks, which had drawn criticism. The discussion highlights differing perceptions of female fitness and femininity in the entertainment industry.
