Season two of Masaba Gupta’s Netflix series ‘Masaba Masaba’, a show that chronicles the life and struggles of the real-life mother-daughter duo Masaba and Neena Gupta, is a hit just like season 1. However, apart from the title role another character that struck a right chord with the audience was Masaba's best friend Gia Irani, played by Ry💃tasha Rathore.
Gia ticks all the boxes of how your best friend should be. She is there to amp up Masaba's boring party, stan🧜d with her in thick and thin, and be a perfect companion to share darkest secrets.
Andꦡ Rytasha says she is quite similar to her onscreen role in terms of humor and quirks “beca💛use that’s what I brought to the table as an actor.”
“In terms of personality Gia and Rytasha both have in common the facts that they’re independeꦬnt, give zero f***s, and are overall very cool women who live life the way they want to,” she told Outlook.
Talking about her best friend in real life, she says she has s🐻everal best friends. “So today I’m going to focus on my oldest one in Mumbai, Simi. We’ve lived in the same building since we were seven or eight and are basically sisters now. I think it is completely different from the friendship on screen because it’s real life and not a show!!
“However, in terms of women being there for each other, support𒉰ing each other’s dreams, ඣcalling out each other’s bullsh*t - it’s pretty much the same, like every other strong female friendship. Simi is someone who I know will always be real with me and when I am with her I can be my truest self without any judgment,” she said.
Rytasha, who started her training journey in 2011 when she joined LASALLE College of the Arts, Singapore to learn a🍷cting and has also worked in 'Badho Bahu' (2016-2018), and Rohan Sippy's 'SideHero' (2018), says that Friendship is truly an unsinkable ship.
“As we grow up and change, I think our true friends also cha🧸nge with us - in different ways, but the real ones always make time and space for each other. True friends are rare but I’m so grateful to god for giv⛄ing me so many I can actually count on,” she sums up.
