Breakout actor of Netflix's Sacred Games Kubbra Sait drops by the Birdy Num Num podcast to talk about getting her dream acting role, being at peace with yourself, managing your career, giving Mumbai an adequate shot, having multiple backup plans and a LOT more. You can currently watch Kubbra on Zee Five's REJCTX.Favorite Quotes: "My friend said you should try to turn anxiety into curiosity.""Acting is not about acting, it's about waiting."You may have only heard of Kubbra as Kuku in the hit show, but she also had sizeable roles in Sultan and Gully Boy, and those of us in India's acting/comedy/MC scene have known her for years.  I've had the pleasure of getting to know her (albeit virtually mostly) through her brother Danish, but we hit it off in a lovely chat that spanned Mumbai, acting, Anuvab Pal (comedian friend), Made in Heaven, decision making and turning anxiety into curiosity. As with most creative careers, this conversation was not exactly linear but I tried my best to summarize some of the talking points below.
