It was earlier this year that there were reports on a web series being planned that will showcase the journey of fashion designer Masaba Gupta and her actress mother Neena Gupta. Reportedly titled Masaba Masaba, the web show is said to be streamed on the popular digital platform Netflix. And now, in the latest development, reports on an entertainment portal told that Sonam Kapoor Ahuja and Alia Bhatt will be making their appearance in the show in a brief role.
Sonam and Alia, who are Masaba's best friends, will be adding their touch to the fashion designer's life story and will also be making their digital debut. The report on the entertainment portal also told that actors including Malavika Mohanan will be seen playing important roles. As per the buzz, Masaba and Neena will be seen essaying their roles in the show, marking their first onscreen collaboration.

Back in July, sources close to the show informed that the web series will star Masaba as a fashion designer and delve deeper into her professional and personal life. "Masaba and Ashvini have been spotted together on several occasions over the past year. It has now emerged that the two were finalising the concept of the show. While the web series takes inspiration from Masaba's life, it has been fictionalised to an extent. It will see Masaba as a fashion designer who navigates her professional and personal life after her divorce. No prizes for guessing that Neena will be seen as her mother. Both women loved the concept and immediately said yes," the source informed.
