At five, she took the stage by storm as Indira Gandhi. At eight, she was bullied. At ten, she hit rock bottom. At thirteen, she discovered a personality development programme that changed her life forever...
From being an awkward teen in braces to becoming a sought-after master of ceremonies to successfully portraying the transgender Cuckoo on the hit Netflix series Sacred Games, Kubbra Sait has broken boundaries and made a name for herself. Her ordinary upbringing notwithstanding, Kubbra is an extraordinary woman who quickly learnt how to deal with the harsh ways of the world and shape her life successfully despite them. The bullying she encountered in school as a child helped her face nepotism in Bollywood, an industry known to favour its own, often at the cost of talented 'outsiders'.
Part memoir, part inspirational treatise, Open Book lays bare the struggles, achievements, joys and failures, and the many reinventions of a shy and anxious Bangalore girl who dreamt of making it in the competitive world of cinema.
'Readers will marvel at the spirit and resilience of this woman, as Kubbra Sait shares the battles and victories of her childhood that made her the stunning individual she is today. A story well worth telling, reading and applauding.' -Faye D'Souza
'This green-eyed girl is a sorceress who transports us to the magical world of a creator. Each chapter is a door to a millennial's mind.' -Roshan Abbas
