Kubbra Sait Confirms Return for Farzi Season 2, Reflects on Sacred Games Impact
In a recent interview, actor Kubbra Sait has officially confirmed her return for the highly anticipated Farzi Season 2. Known for her distinctive screen presence and unconventional roles, Sait has steadily carved a niche for herself across films and streaming platforms, and she opened up about navigating expectations in an evolving industry while emphasizing the importance of consistency.
Joining Farzi Without Hesitation
Talking about her association with Farzi, Kubbra revealed that joining the project required no second thoughts. "All I can say is, I signed season one and season two, so you have to watch this, kids, I swear. They told me they were writing this character for season two. I said, 'Done.' They said, 'You have to do season one first.' I said, 'Done.' That was it," she shared with India Today.
Sait further added, "I’m very, very proud of the way the show has turned out, and I’m super excited for season two. I’m just glad I didn’t get killed off. I killed people, but I survived." She also spoke about whether the industry perceives her differently now, explaining that recognition doesn't happen overnight and takes time to understand people.
Early Struggles and Turning Points
Recalling her initial years, Kubbra mentioned working on the film Ready and navigating the industry without much awareness of publicity. "I’m not kidding you, when I did 'Ready', I didn’t even know what PR stood for. I literally got people outside a restaurant to interview me because I was so clear that I wanted people to know me," she said.
The release of Sacred Games brought an unexpected shift in her visibility. "Then one day, 'Sacred Games' was released, and suddenly people were asking, questioning, and reporting things about me that I didn’t even know existed on the internet, and this was before AI," she noted. Calling it a major shift, she added, "That was a turning point, 100 percent. But I’ve just been going with the flow. I never wanted to be a one-hit wonder. I’ve always believed in consistency."
Sacred Games as a Defining Chapter
According to Kubbra, Sacred Games played a key role in shaping her artistic journey. "What 'Sacred Games' did for me was build a curiosity for acting and a consistency in my craft. Since then, I’ve just been learning and doing my best. I think I’m evolving as an actor," she said.
Sait further reflected on her journey, stating, "My journey towards acting is about eight years old. Give me two more years, and I think I’ll be thriving. I don’t want to compete with others… I’d rather look at my own milestones." She emphasized self-fulfilment over comparison, adding, "I want my cup to be full on its own. I want to operate from that space and be honest with my journey, rather than feel like I have something to prove to someone else."
Perspective on Storytelling and Privilege
Summing up her outlook, Kubbra concluded, "For me, it’s always been about saying, 'This is who I am, I’m figuring it out, what do you think?' It’s always been storytelling and conversation. And I truly feel that’s a privilege. I don’t take it lightly." Her recent work includes appearances in films like Son of Sardaar 2 alongside Ajay Devgn, Mrunal Thakur, Ravi Kishan, and Neeru Bajwa.
