Looking back at the memorable first season of Sacred Games, the actor who truly left a mark was Kubbra Sait as the sassy Cuckoo. Four years since her big break, the actor has made her international debut with Apple TV’s new series, Foundation. The magnum opus is a 10-episode saga—based on Isaac Asimov’s book series of the same name—that sees Sait as antagonist Phara.

While the feeling of what she has accomplished is yet to fully sink in, Sait says the overpowering emotion is that of growth. “I am the same person I was four years ago. But I am surrounded by people who are rock-solid and root for me. Good work attracts the tribe that propels you to grow,” begins the actor, who is rubbing shoulders with Jared Harris and Lee Pace in the sci-fi series.
