One More Time

HUMA QURESHI IS NOW PART OF THE ELITE CLUB.

- Suman Sharma

Huma Qureshi is going through a ‘jolly’ good time. The actor, who debuted with Anurag Kashyap’s two-part crime drama Gangs Of Wasseypur wowed viewers with her raw portrayal. Later, she added to her credentials with her nuanced acts in Ek Thi Dayan, Dedh Ishqiya and Badlapur. But the beautiful girl from an affluent family of restaurateurs had not left Delhi with limited dreams. Her dreams were as larger-than-life as the screen she wanted to own. As Akshay Kumar’s spunky wife in Jolly LLB 2, she broke new ground and entered the ‘superhit’ league. Her foray into the horror premise with brother Saqib Saleem in Dobaara-See  Your Evil has already created a buzz. Up next is Gurinder Chadha’s Indo-Brit historical, Viceroy’s House. Most importantly, she will be romanced by superstar Rajiniknath in his upcoming Tamil film. Yes, Huma Qureshi has arrived. Albeit without cutting any corners or her generous curves… ‘Be yourself’ is what she describes as her success mantra. Truly, her individuality stands apart in a world of clones and cosmetic wonders…

You’ve ventured into the horror zone with Dobaara-See Your Evil…

The movie is an adaptation of the Hollywood film Oculus (2014) directed by Mike Flangan. The story revolves around a supernatural mirror. While my character Natasha believes that the mirror had a role to play in her parents’ death, her brother Kabir (Saqib Saleem) does not share the belief. The siblings set out to unravel the truth.

How was your experience working with brother Saqib Saleem?
