From Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s character Ganesh Gaitonde to Saif Ali Khan’s Inspector Sartaj Singh, everyone has aced their roles to perfection. Kubbra Sait, who plays the role of Cuckoo in the show, is also garnering a lot of limelight. It takes a lot of boldness to play the role of a transgender onscreen. In fact, in one of the scenes, she was all naked when her sexual identity is revealed on the show.

Talking about what went behind the scenes during that shot, she told Times Now that Anurag Kashyap gave her a reading of the dialogues and explained the situation, which even brought tears in her eyes.

“He made me do the scene 7 times- every time after the scene, he'd come to me and say I am making you do this so many times, sorry haan. Just one more time, ek aur baar, one more and I am going again, don't hate me, I know you hate me, don't hate me.”

“I would literally fall on the floor crying every time. He made me cry real-time 7 times. And when we finished the scene, I was still crying on the floor and he hugged me and said I love you so much and thank you for giving me this scene. I walked out of the room and everyone clapped, I didn't know it was so beautifully done.”

Kubbra Sait also revealed that she loves her character and at no point, she was skeptical about the role.

“It did not strike me that oh, this is a transgender or that I'll be typecast. For me, she was the diva. She is living her life to her tunes and standing tall for herself. In the 80s if someone could do that and know that she will have the entire Bombay on her fingertips, then she's done well for herself. That's the kind of pride I have in the character.”

For the uninitiated, Kubbra Sait is a known name in the industry. From TV shows to anchoring events (including Star Sports Pro Kabaddi)and appearing in commercials (that include Airtel, Tata and Nano, Big Bazaar among others), Kubbra has done it all. With her brilliant performance in Sacred Games, she has left the audiences spellbound with her role as Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s transgender lover.
