A biography for Huma Qureshihasn’t been written yet.
“I wouldn't say that I haven't got my fair share of good roles. This industry has been very kind to me.”
“Oh yes, my best birthday gift was when my dad gifted me my first car in college. It was a Maruti Swift. I thought that was the coolest thing ever. It was so much fun, as I could completely show it off to my friends that I have my own car now and not my dad's car.”
“I have always been cool and open about my body.”
“I believe in equal pay for equal work. Gender, race, skin colour, or ethnicity should not be the parameters to hire someone or to decide how much they should be paid.”
“Not all are starting from the same line; however, the finishing line is certainly the same. We all have to show how much money our films make or how many awards we win or what critical acclaim and commercial success our films have.”
“The audience is loving me the way I am, and that's most important.”
“As an actor, I would love to do an out and out comedy.”
“I love dressing up for the red carpet.”
“I just cannot do a boring film. It has to be interesting with a good character.”
“There are a lot of people out there who are just bullies. They constantly keep telling you that you are too fat, too thin, your teeth are not fine, you can't speak English really well, and you are too short, etc.”
“I'm here in this industry to work. I respect the work of others equally. There's no sense of insecurity, but definitely, when you see others doing well, you also want to give your best in whatever opportunities you have.”
“I just love watching 'Andaz Apna Apna.' Every single time, I end up laughing so much that my jaws start hurting.”
“Whether it was 'Gangs Of Wasseypur' or whether it's 'LSTCK,' the characters are real, and when you see them on screen, you can identify with them.”
“The girls have to be equal to boys.”
“I don't want to be the glam doll; that doesn't appeal to me at all.”
“Honestly, I got a lot of offers which were similar to 'Badlapur,' and I didn't want that. Unfortunately, we live in a world which is so myopic that they only want to offer you what you have already done.”
“You must be happy in every moment - it might touch other people's hearts and make them smile.”
“Every girl brought up in the '90s would idolise Madhuri and would want to work with her. I'm just happy that I've been able to achieve that.”
“There are a lot of people out there who will try to take advantage of you or are predators in a certain way. Women must stand up and speak out about it. Also, anybody who says that they have been wronged should be supported in every possible manner.”
“As an artist, I am very proud of 'Ek Thi Daayan.' It was a supernatural flick and a huge risk, since not many films are made like that.”
