Sharing the pictures, Masaba wrote in the caption, "To celebrate dad's 70th birthday in Antigua - a golf tournament (where he is happiest after a cricket field) for charity to raise money for healthcare workers in the region who have worked tirelessly through the pandemic."

Soon after she posted the pictures, Masaba's bestie, filmmaker Rhea Kapoor complimented her 'genes' with a fire emoji. Others, including Karan Boolani, Esha Gupta, Tisca Chopra, dropped reactions on the post as well. Many fans called him a legend in the comments and said that he was their favourite cricketer.

Masaba Gupta is senior actor Neena Gupta and Vivian Richards' daughter. The ex-couple had her while they were not married to each other and she was raised by Neena Gupta as a single mother. Neena is now married to Vivek Mehra since 2008 and Vivian has a family with wife Miriam.

Opening up about her bond with Vivian, Masaba told Firstpost, "We are alike in many ways. For one, I have his short temper. And we are both very selfish people. Well, selfish is a strong word, but we do come first. We matter the most to ourselves. We have the same view about the world. I think I inherited this, though we also talk things out and I realise his view of life is close to mine. For one, he always tells me, family is important; there is no such thing as a friend. If you have one true friend, it is a big thing! And mom and dad are both similar in their focus on what they do."

Masaba will be next starring in the second instalment of her hit Netflix show Masaba Masaba. She will also be seen on an episode of Modern Love Mumbai on Amazon Prime India.
