Kubbra Sait opened up about her abortion
The actress recently spoke about her abortion and revealed that she was ‘conflicted’ about it initially, but later realised that she made the right decision. Speaking about the same, Kubbra said:
“It’s been many years since that happened, and I’ve had plenty of time to think about it and heal from it. But when a moment like that comes in your life, you find yourself conflicted because along with you are your faith, your responsibilities, and the world around you. You know what your duties are, you’re aware of how society sees you, and you feel torn between what’s right and what’s wrong. At that time, you don’t really know whether the decision you’re making is correct or not. But today, I can say with full confidence that the decision I made then was the right one for me.”

She was shooting for her projects, and after the abortion, her health took a toll. She often fell unwell and suffered heavy bleeding, but she never shared what she was going through.
