Masaba Gupta Calls Out Ramiz Raja for Offensive Joke on Vivian Richards

Neena Gupta’s daughter Masaba has slammed former Pakistani cricketer Ramiz Raja for laughing at a racist comment made about her father and legendary cricketer Vivian Richards. Taking to X, previously known as Twitter, the fashion designer wrote ‘Dear Ramiz Raja ( sir ) grace is a quality few have. My father,mother and I have it in spades. You have none. Sickening to see you laugh on national TV in Pakistan at something the world stopped laughing at about 30 years back.Step into the future. All 3 of us are here with our chin up.’ Several netizens were seen lauding Masaba in the comments section of her post. A user wrote, ‘Way to go Masaba! In my view your Ma was 30 years ahead of her time. (salute) to her’, whereas another one wrote ‘You rock woman. Respect.’ One of the netizens penned, ‘Don’t even go down to their level pls You all are way too dignified which they will never ever possess! Respect to your Dad, mom and you.’ Her tweet was in response to a two-month-old video clip that was doing rounds on social media wherein Ramiz Raja was seen laughing at a comedian’s comment making fun of Viv Richards’ skin colour. The comedian was asked on a show if she followed cricket or not, and she answered, ‘I do watch cricket matches and my heart broke when Vivian Richards went into a relationship with Neena Gupta. I wrote a couplet then. ‘Jo ladkiyan khud ko kehti hain malika-e-aliya, Unko fir milta hai Mr Kaliya.’
