If you have watched Sacred Games or are currently watching it, you would be quite familiar with ‘kukko ka jaddu’. The transgender cabaret dancer is one of the pivotal characters of the flashback and Kubra Sait who played Kukkoo onscreen has done a commendable job to bring such a complex character to life, given the fact that there is no mention of Kukkoo in the novel.

Here we share everything about Kubra Sait, the actress who gave full justice to the Kukkoo of Sacred Games

Though She Is Considered Asia’s Most Prolific Public Speaker, Going on Stage Seemed Difficult to Her

As a kid, Kubra was introvert and so it seemed almost impossible for her to go on stage and speak. Besides, she was also bullied which made her even more nervous.

On the records, she has hosted various prestigious awards in around 30 countries and has got the renowned India’s Best Female Emcee Award in 2013.
