Masaba Gupta Posts About 'Beauty Is Burden' With Bodysuit Pic

New Delhi: Designer Masaba Gupta's powerful post about beauty standards is a must read. In her new Instagram post, the designer wrote about "beauty is a burden" and beautifully explained her views as formulated by personal experiences in a lengthy note. "I've come to realise that beauty is a different kind of burden as you keep growing. When I was younger, it was more of a longing to be conventional and check all the boxes/fit-in kind of a burden. Now,that I'm almost 30... it's more an unapologetic ,rebellious kind of a burden. Eitherway, this whole damn idea of beauty is a burden," Masaba's caption accompanied a photo of herself in a black bodysuit.

Talking about her photo, Masaba added: "It is fully dedicated to my trainer Vilayat Husain - thank you for making me somewhat strong, again. I strive to be the strongest person you have trained, ever. Both mentally and physically."

I’ts been a bit astonishing, how short life can be .. which is why I dropped every single ‘important’ thing I was doing to come surprise my dad on his birthday today & even had an impromptu family reunion. Missing the husband,though. Happy birthday , dad - I’m really trying to make this emotional , but you’re 66 now & still can’t send a whatsapp & think a smartphone is the devil incarnate. Slow
