Huma Qureshi talks about her role
In an interview with Bollywood Bubble, Huma Qureshi extended gratitude towards her Indian fans and mentioned that she loves all of them. Huma further talked about her role and said that in 2012, when she was a part of the movie Gangs of Wasseypur, she was a part of an ensemble cast and she hardly had a screen presence of 15 minutes in the movie. She added the same goes with Zack Snyder's Army of the Dead. It was an ensemble film with a great director and she is just happy that she made her Hollywood debut with it.
Further, Huma mentioned that in her career she never went for the length of the character instead she focused on the importance of the character in the movie. She tagged her character, Geeta, in the movie as integral and mentioned that Geeta was almost a pivot point in the character. The Dedh Ishqiya actor ended her conversation by saying that she would rather do something interesting than do something that isn’t really impacting the story and she hopes she didn't let down her viewers in this context.
