Huma Qureshi is all set to make her small screen debut as a judge on a reality television show ‘India’s Best Dramebaaz’.
“Television is such an exciting platform. I am very excited to be making my TV debut with such a cute show, which has India’s cutest and most ‘dramebaaz’ (dramatic) kids,” Huma said in a statement to IANS.
“I am hoping to watch them, laugh a lot and basically have fun,” added the actress, known for films like ‘Gangs Of Wasseypur’, ‘Dedh Ishqiya’ and ‘Kaala’.

Huma Qureshi recently talked about dealing with people making sexual advances at her, not only in the cinema industry but by people from different professions.
Asked about sexual exploitation and harassment of women, Huma said, “Well, as a woman, absolutely, I have had to deal with people making advances at me, but not just people from the business of film industry, but people across different professions and different strata. I think it has a lot to do with power, it is not only limited to the film business.”
She said for many women at the receiving end, it becomes difficult to come out and speak. “In India and elsewhere in the world, the moment a woman speaks out against harassment, people sort of start making all sorts of character judgments about her, about her morality, about what she was wearing and all such things and I think that is not fair,” she added.
“If a woman is saying something out loud, she is asking for help and you have no business to character assassinating her. You have to reach out to her and help her and protect her and I think we need to protect our women and we need to protect our children.”
