Huma Qureshi, last seen in Tarla, while speaking to senior journalist Barkha Dutt, revealed how she said yes and then walked out of a song from a big movie. The actress revealed, “Sometimes I get offered element songs, and there was a particular moment, a great producer, a great movie, and they offered me this song. I said, you know what, why not? Everybody does it, and I also went to rehearsal for a couple of days, and my costume was done. But then I was like, no, these lyrics are so embarrassing. How I can?”

Huma also said, “This is what you do to a young person who is trying to make it in their 20s.” In another interview with AajTak, she spoke about being an Indian Muslim, saying, “I never realized that I am a Muslim and I am different. My father has been running a restaurant, Saleem’s in Kailash Colony (Delhi) for 50 years. In my personal experience, I have never felt it. People could have felt it. Having said that, I think questions need to be asked and all governments need to respond.”
