However, the actor reveals that she is trying to make a conscious effort to be diplomatic. “I’ve become far more diplomatic,” says Huma, adding, “I was quite moofat (outspoken) when I first made an appearance in the industry. Over the years, I have learnt that as a Bollywood actor, you can’t be like that.”

The actor became popular with movies like Badlapur (2015) and Dedh Ishqiya (2014), and is one of the few actors in the industry who hasn’t made her way into the industry through contacts. Ask her about nepotism in the industry, and she says, “One would be lying if they say nepotism doesn’t exist,” says the actor adding, “I wouldn’t say that I haven’t got my fair share of good roles. This industry has been very kind to me.”

She is quick to add that it is “easy for people to dismiss a woman’s hard work and talent, especially if she hails from a non-film background. “It’s easy for people to say that she is doing well because she is close to someone. That is demeaning. I don’t see that happening to any of the industry kids, to be very honest.”

Now, Huma is all set to appear in Gurinder Chadha’s upcoming British-Indian film. The actor has already shot for a few portions of the movie. Talking about her experience, Huma says, “It was lovely working with Gurinder. She is a critically-acclaimed as well as a commercially successful director. I have had a blast working on that film, and she really loved me.”
