Kubbra Sait recently reflected on her experience filming the cop drama Deva, which was released a year ago. In a social media post, the actress described the film as a transformative but challenging experience, admitting that it "broke" her a little.
Sait revealed that the demanding shoot, which involved long days and real locations, led to exhaustion but also fostered personal growth. "It's been a year since 'Deva' released. Almost a full year of shooting. Real locations. Long days. A lot of waiting. A lot of figuring things out. Real exhaustion. Real growth," she shared.
The Sacred Games actress confessed that she "struggled most days" during the project. However, she also acknowledged that these tough situations had a positive impact, building resilience and strengthening her relationship with herself. "Tough situations have a strange way of working on you. They build resilience, create deep bonds, and force you into a stronger relationship with yourself," she explained.
Sait's character, Dipti Singh, presented a unique challenge. According to Sait, Dipti is "a woman trained not to trust her instinct. And yet her instinct is right". This internal conflict deeply affected Sait, as she had to navigate the contradiction of playing a character who was constantly at odds with her own intuition. "Living inside that contradiction stayed with me," Sait added.
Despite the difficulties, Sait expressed gratitude to the Deva team for the transformative journey. The film, directed by Rosshan Andrrews and starring Shahid Kapoor, has clearly left a lasting impression on the actress. Sait's willingness to be open about her struggles highlights the demanding nature of the film industry and the personal toll that certain roles can take.
Sait has been a part of several movies including Jawaani Jaaneman, Ready, and Gully Boy. Her breakthrough role came in the Netflix show Sacred Games, where she played a transgender woman named Kukoo. She has also appeared in web series such as RejctX, The Verdict – State vs Nanavati, Farzi, The Trial, and Shehar Lakhot.
