If you’ve noticed something different on Masaba Gupta’s Instagram lately, you’re not imagining it. The fashion designer appears to have turned off comments on her recent posts, well that’s what Op India has claimed in one of its articles and it’s happening just as actor Kangana Ranaut made a public claim involving one of Masaba’s outfits and a Ram Janmabhoomi visit.A quick scroll through Masaba’s profile shows that the comment section is completely disabled on her last three posts. On one older post, comments are still visible, but even there, interaction has been restricted. Naturally, people are connecting the dots.
The timing, after all, is hard to ignore.
What Kangana Ranaut claimed
On Saturday, January 17, Kangana spoke openly about an incident she said left her shaken. According to her, Masaba was already providing clothes to her for promotions linked to her film Tejas. When Kangana asked if the same stylist could help her with an outfit for her Ram Janmabhoomi darshan, things reportedly took a turn.Kangana claimed that once it was made clear the saree was for a temple visit, Masaba asked the stylist not to use her clothes. Until then, everything had been fine.She also spoke warmly about her stylist, calling her genuine and kind. Kangana said the stylist later requested that she not tag Masaba or her brand, explaining that she had paid for the saree herself to avoid any discomfort.By the time Kangana learned what had happened, she said she was already dressed and on her way. The whole episode, she added, left a bad taste and still makes her uneasy when she thinks about it.
Silence from Masaba, for now
So far, Masaba Gupta hasn’t responded publicly to the allegations. But her decision to turn off or limit comments has only added fuel to the conversation online, with many wondering if the silence is deliberate.Until there’s a response, the story continues to unfold – touching on fashion, faith, and the tricky space where personal beliefs, branding choices, and public life overlap.
