"I think you don't have to be size zero to prove yourself...to connect with the audience. It should be like the audience should enjoy the film. And if you can provide that enjoyment with the way you are then nothing like it," Huma told PTI.

"In fact, I am paired opposite someone who is very tiny, Nawaz is a little short and tiny...he is size zero," she said. "In school I was always a fat girl. No matter how thin you are but girls always have this thing in mind that I am a little fat," Huma quipped.

But she says, these days filmmakers like Anurag Kashyap have a different thinking and are not obsessed with weight issues. "I remember during an ad shoot Anurag said to me that you are doing my film, and I was wondering do we really get films so easily. I thought you have to struggle and all. But he kept his word and offered me Gangs Of Wasseypur. All this is like a boon," the actor said.
