Huma Qureshi doesn't feel like outsider in filmdom
Huma Qureshi's first two films were appreciated and she is getting good offers too.
Contented with her career, the actress doesn t see herself as an outsider in the film industry.
"I don t feel I am an outsider. I was already shooting for other films even before the release of my first film Gangs of Wasseypur (GOW). While shooting for GOW, I was simultaneously shooting for Vishal Bhardwaj s Ek Thi Daayan, and while shooting for Luv Shuv Tey Chicken Khurana, I was shooting for Nikhil Advani s D Day," Huma, who is from Delhi, told IANS.
She started as a model and featured in various TV commercials.
Talking about movies, she said: "It s an exciting new phase. Both parts of my first film received critical acclaim, Luv Shuv was also appreciated by many. I hope it continues to be like this."
Ek Thi Daayan and D Day haven t come out yet.
She considers herself lucky to have bagged films with established filmmakers.
"I am blessed to have got a chance to work with directors like Anurag Kashyap, Vishal Bhardwaj and Nikhil Advani at such an early age. Moreover, good scripts have been coming my way so I am really excited about it," said the 26-year-old who doesn t want to restrict herself to doing a certain kind of role.
"I have tried to be different in each of my films - be it Gangs of Wasseypur or Luv Shuv Tey Chicken Khurana. My roles in other two films are also different. I can t put myself in a box and be an actor," she said.
When it comes to looks, Huma is different from the typical Bollywood actresses and she says she isn t trying to fit in anyone s shoes.
"I agree that I am different from others. I am not trying to fit in someone else shoes. I am being honest to myself. The audience is loving me the way I am and that s most important for me," she added.
