I'VE GOT THE OPPORTUNITY I'VE BEEN WAITING MY WHOLE LIFE®

‘So let’s have fun with it. Let’s do something that nobody is expecting.’

- 

Huma Qureshi wants to sleep.

But her resurgent career just won’t let her.

The actor, who will be seen in the second season of the Web series Maharani , which streams from August 25, has just spent the day giving back-to-back interviews, but her smile does not waver and her make-up stays immaculate.

Still, she craves for sleep, something she just doesn’t get to do as much as she would like to.

“I have to look good for a project, shoot for another and promote the third, so it’s exhausting. But I really enjoy being on a film set, and act. So if I have to do a few other things that I don’t entirely love it, but if it’s allowing me to be an actor on a film set, I’ll take that any day,”

The first of a multi-part lively conversation:

How exciting is it to step into the shoes of Maharani’s Rani Bharti once again?

It’s exciting because it’s been loved.

That’s why we are making season two, right? So clearly something has worked.

But it’s also like, I’ve done this and there’s nothing new I can do.

I think the magic lies in how I create the essence of that character and still build on it enough to make it exciting for people.
