How did Huma Qureshi broke the stereotype? Advice in playing the role of “young girl”

The actress of Bollywood Huma Qureshi is known to break the stereotypes. The actress joined India Today Conclave held in Dubai where she spoke of becoming a businesswoman and the Maharani series. Huma said that his cinematographic journey had not been easy. Several times, she felt lost in the beauty standard and has played character.

How do stereotypes break?

Huma said – I’m probably the reason to be stubborn. Whenever someone tells me that you can’t do it, you can’t do it, you shouldn’t do it, so I ask why. Whenever someone tries to shape me in a structure, so I say why? People may think that this character cannot play. Then I have more courage to do something more. My decisions depend on it.

Reaction given on beauty standards

Laughing, Huma first said that he might be surprised to see my talent and does not pay much attention to anything. But my trip was not easy. But the path is to tell you the truth. I had realized very quickly that if I was trying to integrate myself into the idea of ​​any other beauty standard, then I will fail. If I am a fish, I cannot climb the trees. But I will show very well. So, as an artist, I have a different identity. Now, if I see the posters of someone else, think that I cannot do that, I don’t look or speak, then it doesn’t make sense. So why should I adopt someone else’s ideas.

As I said, this trip was not easy. I have been confused, I never lost. I made mistakes from me. I also looked at a lot of people and I said they got the number of opportunities they have. So if I also think like them. If I make the same face, I will also get these opportunities if I start talking. But then I’m going to get lost. So, since I started listening to the voice of myself – if I have to do that like that, everything is fine.

Obtaining opportunities is not easy in industry

Huma said – here, an option is still not ready. This porter does not come from any human or agency or producer. He comes from the thought of a director. Who deserves this character, who can represent him. Which can capture this projector. If today I am talking about developing my business, even today, I do not have access to many parts. There are a lot of games that I can do, but I have not been approached. So what should I do – I cry and sit at home that I don’t have. No, I’m going to go out and tell the story I mean. I will choose on my way with whom I have to work with the filmmakers.

At the same time, Huma has also heard an interesting story. She said that after the Queen’s success, I was a Tarla Dalal film, for which I had a lot of praise. Its casting directors recently called me and said you are such a beautiful and beautiful woman, why you play the character of these elderly women. There are many more manufacturers who want to work with you, why don’t you talk to them. Why don’t you play young girls. Then I wondered why we expect the heroine to follow the young game. Although I have no problem with this, I also made rolls where girls dance around the trees, wearing small skirts, but if I get a good script, I will do it. But do it because I’m afraid to play the role of an elderly woman?

In fact, what is the problem I can sit at home by undergoing multiple cosmetic surgery, and I can wait for some filmmakers to call, or I can go see the filmmakers who write the kind of scripts and they want to work with me. It is a big change when you learn to control your life.

Ott becomes the game changer

Huma said – absolutely yes, 100%, I am one of the first players in India who said yes to OTT. I did the first main female program called Laila. After that, the queen. This is probably the most watched show of all time on OTT. But I think that now we went to the Ott 2.0 era, where we have to think about what we present history. What kind of story we want to show people. Because as I said, there are guards everywhere. So we have to think that change comes from where. Many people have no chance. Like watching Jaideep Ahlawat, how a great actor he is. What was the size of his Hades. Prateek is Gandhi, Shefali Shah, Raveena Tandon, Ott has given new life. Ott opportunities are nowhere else.

Success rates should be observed everywhere. And OTT works on many data. Many shows and female series are doing a good job. But let me tell you about one thing. I did the Maharani series, it is the most liked show but did I get the salary of my mail meter parts, on OTT? No. The truth is beyond that. This is the thing on which the work remains. This should be discussed. It’s the truth. I am this parade, I have a good compensation package, but if I compare it with any other show, then my importance is less. If I had a mail player in place, then his package would have been different. Sometimes I hear that if she gets 45 crores for this project, then I wonder why brother? To change this, we must all be united, it will not be anyone.

The queen learned policy?

Huma said – I am very far from politics. This is a very strange reason that people think that I played the character of Rani Bharti, so I will also understand politics, I have to know the whole strategy. But no, I’m far from it. I am like any rest chair. The rest like people. In my opinion, the story of Rani Bharti was very under the dog. She was born in these problems. The way she speaks, she is stuck in a problem, if she does not understand anything, then she does not hesitate to ask.

If I play the character, I do it with pleasure. I don’t like to repeat myself. I am lucky to have been able to work with many directors. Yes, I did not play too many dance pieces. I will try now I am a very good dancer. I’m ready to play any character. I was also happy to do Qawwali in Gangubai. Monica o my darling who was the film, I told the director that anyone could play this character, but only I could have done while playing. As an artist, leaving his impression is the main work. I would like to work with Christopher Nolan.

Huma said I am connected to India. I don’t believe in Hollywood and Bollywood, I mean good scripts. My production company also works on a Sai-Fi film. Huma is now an actress and a producer. She works there with her brother Saqib. Huma said she returned to Mumbai for the first time as a younger brother. However, so he said that earlier I refused that I wanted to act, I also did theater. He was at university. But he took a good break, he will be friends with YRF.

Huma is the mistress of several cases

Huma said she had written Jeba Book during Kovid because her friends were getting married. His book is therefore his baby. At the same time, Huma is also included in the hotel industry. It is also associated with the beauty brand, with which it will also start a Saree brand.

With that, Huma said during the rapid fire that she would like to play the character of Mohsina from Gangs of Wasseypur. Because then she was very new and innocent. With that, she said that I would certainly like to make a biopic from Meena Kumari. Huma said she wanted to be part of the film Titanic. By saying that, she hinted that she wanted to work in Hollywood.
