Kubbra Sait opened up about working with Salman Khan during her debut movie Ready
Versatile actress Kubbra Sait might have garnered a lot of fame with her character as Kukoo from Sacred Games, but did you know that she made her Bollywood debut with Salman Khan and Asin starrer Ready in 2011? Remember the two househelps that were tasked to seduce each of Sanjana’s maternal cousins, one of them was the actress. During a recent interaction, she recalled how the entire cast and crew of the movie waited long hours for Bhaijaan.
Talking to journalist Faye D’Souza about her experience while shooting for her debut film, Kubbra shared that when she asked for breakfast on the set, she was given an Apple. Quoted by Hindustan Times, she said, “I said breakfast? They said apple, they flung an apple at my face. I asked for one more and they flung another apple at my face. They were saying we’ll start the shoot at 10. That became 11, 11 became 12.” ALSO READ: Kubbra Sait On Writing Her Molestation Incident In Her Book: ‘Purpose Was Not To Tell World That I Was A Dukhi Aatma’
The 39-year-old actress went on to share that it was when Salman arrived at 2:45 pm, it was then that the crew took notice. Revealing that they had waited for such long hours without doing any work, she said, “You know someone important has arrived. That important person is the hero of the film. Everyone’s pulling up their pants and like let’s do some work and there emerges Salman Khan. We were shooting at a golf course so it’s a visual. There are these big massive life-sized windows and Salman Khan comes and flexes his back, moves his head to either side and says ‘Lunch break kare?'”
She went on quip, “Idhar main ek apple khaya hai subah se. Kaam bhi kar lete hain na (I had eaten just one apple since morning. Maybe we should finish some work also.) But no, we had lunch.” ALSO READ: WHAT! Salman Khan Asked Rakhi Sawant’s Husband Adil Khan To ACCEPT Their Marriage; Actress Says, ‘Mera Bhai Salman Ne Mera Ghar Basa Diya’
