Huma Qureshi: I never let success or failure get to my head

Huma Qureshi, who was last seen in Rajinikanth’s ‘Kaala’ says failure and success are a part of everyone’s journey, and she doesn’t let them get to her head.

“I’ve learnt from my mother that goodness never fails. I also believe in the concept of karma. These have helped me both personally and professionally. I’ve tried to approach both my work and my personal equations with utmost positivity and goodness,” she said.

After doing some short films, Huma, who hails from Delhi, came into the spotlight with Anurag Kashyap’s dark thriller ‘Gangs of Wasseypur – Part 2’ in 2012. From ‘Gangs of Wasseypur’, ‘Luv Shuv Tey Chicken Khurana’, ‘Ek Thi Daayan’, ‘Dedh Ishqiya’ to ‘Jolly LLB 2’, Huma takes up strong female characters in films. At the moment, she is seen judging the talent hunt show ‘India’s Best Dramebaaz’ on the small screen.

The actress says she is “very happy with the choices” she has made. “Because each of them has been lessons. Failure and success are a part of everyone’s journey. I have learnt from each mistake and cherish every success. I never let success or failure get to my head and only hope to give everything I take on my best,” Huma added.

While talking about her ambition change, the actress said, “I always wanted to be an actor and be known for good work, which will never change with time. The urge to prove something in the creative space is always there. It keeps me grounded. As an actor, over the years, I’ve probably got a wee bit greedy of wanting to dabble in various genres and experiment with different roles.” 

Huma further talked about her childhood days, “My childhood has been quite a normal one. My mother has always been my pillar of strength. I have fond memories that I’ll always cherish. From all the mischievous things that Saqib (Saqib Saleem) and I did as kids, to the cute hand-made birthday cards, I’ll cherish it all. My parents have always given me everything that a child needs during my growing up years.”

Huma says it is very important to have a work-life balance. “I’m blessed to be surrounded with family and friends that I can rely on… We are each other’s support system,” she concluded.
