Huma Qureshi Recalls Her First Meeting With Anurag Kashyap; Says He Asked Her ‘Tu Paagal Hai Kya?’

Huma
Qureshi
made
an
impressive
debut
in
the
Hindi
Film
Industry
with
Anurag
Kashyap’s

Gangs
Of
Wasseypur
in
2012
in
which
her
portrayal
of
Mohsina
was
praised
by
everyone.
Over
the
years,
the
actress
has
enthralled
all
with
her
powerful
performances
in
various
movies.

In
her
recent
interview
with
Mashable
India,
Huma
walked
down
the
memory
lane
and
recalled
her
first
meeting
with
Anurag
Kashyap.
She
also
revealed
that
her
debut
film
without
any
auditions.

The

Gangubai
Kathiawadi
actress
told
the
news
portal,
“It
was
a
four-day
shoot
in
Wai.
And
we
were
shooting
on
the
second
day
when
Anurag
said
‘I
will
cast
you
in
a
picture.’
And
me,
gadhi
(donkey)
no.
1,
I
said,
‘main
to
abhi
aai
hoon
Bombay.
Maine
suna
hai
bahot
struggle
karni
padti
hai.
Aise
aasaani
se
picture
nahi
milti
(I’ve
just
come
to
Bombay.
I’ve
heard
you
have
to
struggle
a
lot.
You
can’t
get
a
film
so
easily).’
Then
he
is
like,
‘tu
paagal
hai
kya
(are
you
crazy),’
and
I
am
like
‘thodi
si
(a
bit).’
So
that’s
how
Gangs
of
Wasseypur
happened.
I
didn’t
audition
for
the
film.”

Huma
said
that
she
was
lucky
that
her
struggling
period
wasn’t
very
long
and
that
she
feels
quite
blessed
in
that
way.
The
Badlapur
actress
shared
that
after
her
debut
film,
she
bagged
her
next
4-5
films
very
easily
and
added,
“After
that,
I
couldn’t
understand
what
do
I
do
now.
I
never
thought
this
far,
imagination
never
reached
that
point.”

know,
Huma
Qureshi
featured
in
many
commercials
before
she
got
her
first
big
break

Bollywood

Anurag
Kashyap
was
impressed
with
her
talent
when
he
directed
her
in
a
commercial.
He
promised
her
that
he
would
cast
her
in
a
film
and
the
rest
is
history.
