New Delhi:

Masaba Gupta, the daughter of veteran actress Neena Gupta and legendary cricket icon Sir Viv Richards, has typically spoken in regards to the affect of her dad and mom on her life and profession. The multi-hyphenate who’s a clothier, actor, and entrepreneur has now shared a clip of her father on Instagram. The video is an excerpt from Viv Richards’ interview during which he was requested about his aggressive taking part in fashion. In the clip, he says, “It’s instinctive you know…As a batsman, it’s all about – you’re an artist. I remember when I first went to England, my coach at Somerset said, ‘Play in the V, man,’ and we had contrasting views and I guess I was a little bit strong-headed at the time. But I believe that you have got to hit the gaps.”

The legend continues, “It isn’t about hitting the face, man. That’s boring. If you want to go, make sure you go to the left, to the right. And in order to do that, sometimes you’ll make a little room for yourself. Go over extra cover. I’ve always, as a little boy, wanted to hit the ball and it did not matter whether I was in a test match or the last ball before lunch. Some guys are looking to tuck it here and go in and have lunch and come back out. I mean I’d come back out you know, so why not get it done now? Do it now. And these are the things I was always very aggressive about. I felt doing just the normal things at times would be boring. If you want people to come and if you want to put bums on seats, man, it can’t be hitting the ball straight.”

In the caption of the submit, Masaba Gupta gushed, “Just Dad being dad. Is it ok that I use the ‘gotta hit the gaps’ theory in running my business? (and in case you’re wondering where the aggression comes from ) #iconsonly.”
