If light has no mass, how does gravitational force bend light inwards

In the case of black holes, lights are pulled into by great gravitational force exerted by the dying stars (which forms into a black hole). If light has no mass, how is light affected by gravity?

Gravity bends “spacetime”

This means that the light is following a straight path through curved space.

When we are outside of that “curved space” the apparent bending of light lets us know that the space it travelled through is curved.
