The last few months have been an exceptionally difficult time for people across the world and we could all do with a dose of self-love. And leading from the front is designer, model and actress Masaba Gupta. The woman of many talents shared a photo of one of the walls in her house on Sunday. What's special about the wall is a framed photo hanging on it. It features Masaba in a creation by Indian designer Sabyasachi Mukherji. The images are from a photoshoot for the Condé Nast Traveller India magazine, which was also Masaba's debut as a model.
Sharing the photo on her Instagram Stories, she wrote, "Of course I framed the Sabya photos in my own home- self-love is a sweet but slippery slope. Especially when it involves a décolletage," referring to the plunging neckline that Masaba carries off with panache. Well, we think that a stunning photo like that deserves a special place.
Also, we could not help but gape at how lovely Masaba's home looked in the glimpse we caught in the photo. With a lovely vase of white lilies, white scented candles and a classic chest with shades of white and brown, it looked like a soothing nook that we would love to sit around.

The photo that the designer chose to frame is from a phase where Masaba underwent a massive physical transformation by adopting a healthier lifestyle. In a recent post, she wrote about how a disciplined lifestyle had helped her keep her Polycystic Ovary Disease (PCOD) in check and inspired her followers to switch to a healthier way of living. Sharing an image of herself in workout clothes, she wrote, " I am as committed to my health as I am to my business and my relationships. Say this to yourself every single day."
Giving a peek into her routine, she further said, "You have to make one thing about fitness non-negotiable in your life. It all starts there. My 7-9 am workout/walk/yoga is non-negotiable…Also no ordering in outside food on a weekday! Simple, ghar ka khaana. No celebration the night before, no amount of stress ad no phone call can distract me from this. This non-negotiable has helped me nearly cure PCOD, get off medication, focus better and enjoy time off with the food & drink I love with friends & family on the weekend even more. I'm the lightest I've been in 10 years today and want to prove to myself that a lot of hormonal issues we girls have sometimes can be tackled through fixing our nutrition & making physical activity your focus!"
Take a look.
