Huma feels the world has seen so much in these five months
Huma S Qureshi has been making good use of her time during the lockdown in the kitchen. Her social media is proof that the actor has labelled herself as a quarantine chef. Happy to find a productive way to stay busy, cooking iftaar meals and baking a cheesecake for a special occasion, an excited Qureshi says, “I baked my brother (Saqib Saleem) a cake for his birthday and made a few easy recipes I got online. It’s been going great so far.”
She believes the pandemic has made many aware of their privileges and value the small things in life. “This lockdown has taught us to appreciate the time we have... reminded us that not everyone has the luxury to stay at home, and we have to be mindful and try to help others in whatever way possible,” she says.
The Leila actor, who’s with her brother at home, admits she misses being on a film set. “I love my work and I miss it. But I am safe and have taken this time to reflect, write, learn and be positive,” she shares, adding that she’s also reading scripts.
Looking back at the first five months of 2020, Qureshi says, “The world has seen so much so quickly in these five months. The only way is to fight this together and come out, one step at a time. It saddened my heart when I heard that two great legends of this industry (Rishi Kapoor and Irrfan Khan) were no more. It is never going to be the same again. It is my honour to have known them,” she adds.
