Family reunion

Cricket legend Viv Richards had a wonderful 66th birthday with a surprise visit by his fashion designer daughter Masaba and her mother Neena Gupta in Dubai.

Masaba shared a beautiful family picture on social media (picture above) and wrote a few warm lines along with it.

“It’s 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 (March 9) & even had an impromptu family reunion,” she wrote.

“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,” she said.

Actor Neena Gupta dated the West Indian cricketer in the 1980s and Masaba was born in 1989. The couple never married. While Richards is now married to Miriam, Neena’s husband is Vivek Mehra.
