Kubbra Sait on the challenges of playing a transgender in Anurag Kashyap's Netflix series, Sacred Games

Kubbra Sait in Sacred Games
The experience of working with director duo Anurag Kashyap and Vikramaditya Motwane aside, it was the promise of a role that has hardly been explored in Indian cinema that made Kubbra Sait greenlight Sacred Games. The actor, who will be seen playing a transgender in the web series that also features Saif Ali Khan and Nawazuddin Siddiqui, says the lack of references for the part made it "the most challenging experience" of her career.
"Since there were no references, I went with my gut. One may assume that playing a transgender is different, but I'm simply playing a third gender. Why should it make my acting process any different," questions Sait, who did not flinch from going the extra mile to get into the skin of the character.
