Kubbra Sait and Masaba Gupta’s inspiring stories are perfect antidotes for a weary Wednesday

At an event conducted by a leading skincare brand Olay for its campaign of stories of strong Indian women, leading ladies like Masaba Gupta and Kubbra Sait shared their personal stories, which are truly inspiring. Fashion designer Masaba Gupta said, “Judgements that surrounded me growing up made me feel like I didn’t fit into the set beauty standards. It took me a while to accept that it was just society’s perceptions and I that was so much more than beautiful—I’d like to say, ‘a dusky beauty with brains’ –and with that strength and positivity, I never looked back. With the challenges life has thrown at me, it’s only taught me one thing—to believe in myself, hold my head up high and face anything no matter what.”

Known for her popular role in Sacred Games, actress Kubbra Sait further added, “I never let people’s opinions of me define who I am as a woman. When I switched career from a cushy job to acting and that made people judge me. They said I wouldn’t make it, I was never going to be good enough, but I knew I had it in me! So, with time, I drowned out the noise and chased what mattered most to me. I hope through this campaign, women all over India are inspired to love themselves more, follow their dreams, and just take the leap and face anything. Because, whatever the society says, you have to carve your own path the way you envision it to be. I hope the Olay ‘Face Anything’ campaign is an inspiration to all women out there to fight for what they believe in.”

On the work front, Kubbra is currently working with Alankrita Shrivastava for her next film Dolly Kitty Aur Woh Chamakte Sitare. Apart from that, she will also be seen in The Viral Fever’s season 2 of Tripling and has quite a few other projects in the pipeline. We can’t wait to see more work featuring this talented beauty, Kubbra Sait! These were some really motivating stories shared by these strong, fearless women, and we’re sure there are many more women out there that have such stories.
