Huma, on the other hand, is busy promoting her film Tarla. Tarla is directed by Piyush Gupta and produced by Ronnie Screwvala, Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari, and Nitesh Tiwari. Apart from Huma, the film also stars Sharib Hashmi in the lead role.

Speaking about Huma as Tarla, Piyush Gupta said, “She has the amazing quality of easing into the character. This makes her performance extremely real and authentic, something I always wish to do with the characters that I create. Huma is so proficient in cooking that she insisted that she would do all the cooking shots by herself. While taking one of the shots, she cut her finger. Even with a bleeding finger, she kept shooting.”

“Huma was a pure joy to work with. Not even for a moment she made me feel like it was my first film. She has this unique ability to bring calmness to any situation. This made the toughest days on the set, the easiest ones for me. Huma is a natural,” he added.
