Mumbai: Actress Kubbra Sait, best known for her roles in Sacred Games, Gully Boy, Farzi and other acclaimed projects, recently took a nostalgic trip down memory lane. On Saturday, the actress shared an emotional Instagram post reflecting on her life-changing decision in 2009 — when she quit her corporate job at a tech MNC to pursue her Bollywood dreams in Mumbai.
Sait posted a series of throwback photos, including shots from her first portfolio shoot, and penned a heartfelt caption recounting her journey.
“Circa 2009. Somewhere between spreadsheets and dreams, I decided to quit my job at Microsoft and move to Mumbai. Everyone said you needed a ‘portfolio’ — that mythical ticket to the big city. Mine was shot by a kind photographer in Dubai, Sunith Shyam, right after I’d won Miss Personality at Miss India Worldwide. I remember how proud I felt when I framed this first photo — my first real step towards a life and career I hadn’t yet lived. Today, years later, I tried to change that old frame,” she wrote.
She went on to share a poignant reflection: “The photo had aged, the glass had stuck to it, and when I pulled it out, a part of it stayed behind. Just like memories do. Some pieces fade, some hold on — but the courage that began in that frame still remains.”
Her post resonated deeply with fans, who praised her honesty and courage. What was once a symbol of new beginnings has now become a reminder of how far she’s come — and how resilience never fades.
Kubbra was recently seen in The Trial Season 2 and made her reality show debut with Rise and Fall. She will next appear in Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai.
