Actress Kubbra Sait of Sacred Games fame recently wrote a memoir titled ‘Open Book: Not quite a Memoir’. In that, she expressed the shocking incident during her childhood when she had to face sexual abuse coming from her uncle who was supposed to be a good samaritan.
A report on zeenews talked about it and we take reference from that story for our write up here.
Kubbra Sait in the book revealed that she was abused by her ‘uncle’ who her family thought was an ‘angel’. She wrote: “When Mumma sighed at the reprieve that cash provided, I sighed too. Just then, a hand slid to the back seat of the car where I was sitting and slid up my dress. X, who was no longer my uncle, smiled as he rubbed my thigh. I was numb in that moment… He started frequenting our home, and Mumma would laugh with and cook for him. In front of her, he would kiss my cheek and say, ‘Oh my Kubrati, you’re my favourite little one’. Although uncomfortable, I kept quiet.”
She narrated in detail the incident of her first sexual assault, “This was not supposed to happen, but it was happening. I should have screamed, but I could not. I should have run for help, but I was shell-shocked. The kiss grew. He convinced me it was what I wanted, that it would make me feel better. He kept repeating it until I felt deafened, and then he unbuckled his trousers. I was unsure of what exactly was happening, but I remember thinking, I am losing my virginity. It was a big deal, but it was also my shameful secret.”
Well, this is one big revelation that has left Kubbra’s fans in shock and dismay!!
