Huma Qureshi: 'I'm not a Bollywood outsider'

Huma Qureshi has claimed that she does not feel like an outsider in Bollywood.

The actress made her acting debut in Gangs of Wasseypur earlier this year.

She told IANS: "I don't feel I am an outsider. I was already shooting for other films even before the release of my first film Gangs of Wasseypur.

"While shooting for Gangs I was simultaneously shooting for Vishal Bhardwaj's Ek Thi Daayan, and while shooting for Luv Shuv Tey Chicken Khurana, I was shooting for Nikhil Advani's D Day.

"It's an exciting new phase. Both parts of my first film received critical acclaim, Luv Shuv Tey Chicken Khurana was also appreciated by many. I hope it continues to be like this."



Qureshi added: "I am not trying to fit in someone else's shoes. I am being honest to myself. The audience is loving me the way I am and that's most important for me."

The actress recently threatened legal action against a paint company which used an old commercial featuring her.

Gangs of Wasseypur director Anurag Kashyap has denied that the film is too difficult for Indian audiences.
