Huma Qureshi takes indirect dig at actors who excessively talk about process

Actress Huma Qureshi, who was seen in the OTT movie Tarla earlier this year, recently spoke about the subject of acting process, and how she feels everyone has been talking too much about it, giving extra emphasis on the conversations rather than the performance itself.

The word ‘process’ is overused: Huma Qureshi

Huma Qureshi was speaking to Film Companion when she broached the subject. Qureshi stated, “I feel like all the actors are only talking about process and not acting. Please act. I am sorry, I am going to sound like… everybody keeps talking about their process, I did this and I did that.’” Qureshi underline her thoughts by saying that an actor’s efforts and process should show in the performance. The word process is overused.”

Huma Qureshi further stated that she would rather be an actor who makes people watch her performance and blow them away, instead of talking about her process. 

Ranveer really brings something on the table: Huma Qureshi

As a positive reference point, Huma Qureshi praised Ranveer Singh and his performance in Rocky aur Rani ki Prem Kahaani, where the actor played a loud, lavish-living yet sensitive Rocky Randhaawa. Qureshi added, “I really enjoy his performance. Every single time he does something, he really brings something on the table. I don’t know what his process is, but I know that he is doing something different every single time. So I don’t need to hear his interview, I need to watch his performance and it’s fun, mazaa aayaa.”

Before her OTT release Tarla this year, where Huma Qureshi played the popular chef Tarla Dalal, Huma Qureshi had a very active year in 2022 - with web shows like Maharani Season 3 and Mithya, besides film releases like Double XL and Monica O My Darling where she received great acclaim for her performance.  Currently, Huma Qureshi is working in two major films - Khiladi 1080 and Single Salma.
