‘Deepa Mehta made me think I could be in every frame,’ says Huma Qureshi

• Huma is an Indian actress.
• Huma worked with Deepa Mehta on the film Leila.
• The joy of leading a project is scary and empowering in the same breath, she says.

Huma Qureshi is an Indian actress and model who primarily appears in Hindi language films. She has also received three Filmfare Award nominations.

Huma says that Deepa Mehta gave her confidence and that their work on the film Leila made it possible for her to collaborate with Zack Snyder on Army of the Dead.

According to the reports Huma said, “After I worked with Deepa Mehta on the show Leila, my perspective changed in a big way. It was such a turning point. Khoon chakh liya maine (I tasted blood). The joy of leading a project is scary and empowering in the same breath. And she gave me that. Deepa made me believe that I can carry an entire show and be in every frame without boring the audience. She made me believe that I had it in me. When an opportunity presents itself, you rise to the occasion.”

“This is Huma 2.0. I want to call it that without sounding vain about it. I am not the same person I was back in the day. I am trying to do things differently. As an actor, the more fearless you get, the more this industry and the audience rewards you.”
