Ace designer Masaba Gupta debuts as a judge on MTV’s show

MTV is all set to launch a new fashion reality show, Supermodel of the Year, and fashion designer Masaba Gupta has come on board as one of the judges for the show.

Staring from December 22, the show will be about a Battle and a Bootcamp, where 10 models from across the country will take part to win and survive. The tasks on the show will be curated to train and test the different aspects of modelling. Every episode of the show will have a theme pertaining to advertising, digital and modelling world. The tasks are curated with the concept of relevance to this world.

On her television debut, Masaba said, “As they say, there is always a first time, so here I am. I couldn’t have asked for a better platform than Supermodel of the Year to debut on as the show is based on a genre that’s close to my heart. Beyond the arc lights and sleek snaps, there is always a sense of qualm about the world of modelling. This show will unfold those chapters and make the audience aware of the toil that goes into becoming a supermodel. I am really looking forward to sharing my insights with these young girls and hope it helps their journey.” Masaba will join the judges’ panel along with Malaika Arora and Milind Soman.
