In a 2012 interview with a leading publication, Masaba spoke about her father Vivian Richards and said that she is short-tempered like her dad. "I am a lot like my father, personality-wise. When I am doing my thing, it is all about me. There is focus. My dad had that. He could shut out everything and focus on one thing. He is a toughie outside, but he is actually mellow inside. That I have. When I was a kid, my dad told me that if you come out of life with one true friend, you are lucky. I strongly believe that and who we hold close, we really hold close. When tragedy strikes or something bad happens, we become like stone. Nothing can move us. I am also very guarded as a person, which both my parents are."

Masaba also spoke about Richards' aura and said that she will never understand that. "To me, he is chilled-out and laid-back… he loves eating rajma-chawal. He always left his aggression on the field. At home, he was a basic dad… ‘Where are you going and why are you wearing this?’ But he always left me to make my own decisions," she was quoted in the interview.
