MUMBAI: Actor Kubbra Sait took fans on an emotional journey back to 2009 — the year she left her corporate job at Microsoft to chase her dreams in Mumbai.
Sharing a set of throwback pictures, Kubbra wrote:
"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, soon after I’d won Miss Personality at Miss India Worldwide.
I remember framing that first photo — my first real step into a life I hadn’t yet lived.
Years later, as I tried to change that frame, the glass had stuck to the picture. 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.”
Kubbra’s post struck a chord with fans for its honesty and heart. That old photograph, once a symbol of new beginnings, has now become a reminder of how far she’s come — and how courage never really fades.
Known for her fearless choices and authentic voice, Kubbra once again proved that vulnerability is strength remembered.
From that framed dream in Dubai to her fearless journey in Mumbai, her story is a tribute to the power of starting over.
Kubbra was recently seen in The Trial Season 2 and made her reality debut with Rise and Fall. She will next appear in Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai.
