At five, she took the stage by storm as Indira Gandhi. At eight, she was bullied. At ten, she hit rock bottom. Then, she discovered a programme that changed her life forever... From being an awkward teen in braces to winning the Miss Personality awards at the Miss India Worldwide Beauty Pageant to successfully portraying a transgender, 'Cuckoo', on the hit Netflix series Sacred Games, Kubbra Sait has broken boundaries to make a name for herself. Despite her ordinary upbringing, Kubbra is an extraordinary woman who quickly learnt how to deal with the harsh ways of the world and shape her life successfully despite them. The bullying she faced in school as a child helped her face nepotism in Bollywood, an industry known to favor its own, often at the cost of talented 'outsiders'. Part memoir, part coming-of-age, part inspirational treatise, Open Book, outlines the struggles, achievements, joys and failures and the many reinventions of a shy and anxious Bangalore girl who made it in the world of movies.
