managed to garner equal adulation and
flak for her curves in the size-zero-
obsessed industry, prefers to be her
pretty self rather than falling for the fad.
Huma was loved for her voluptuous figure
and earthy style in her first movie Gangs
of Wasseypur. But she was criticised by
some quarters for her weight issues.
"In Gangs of Wasseypur I was the pretty
girl, it was glamorous role. In Ek Thi
Daayan I was the heroine. I have always
been the pretty girl. I think there are
people who have a craze about size zero
but today we do have heroines who are curvier," Huma said in an interview here.
"Either you think of it (weight) as a
problem or as an added advantage. I
would like to be known for my
personality rather than size zero, I am an
actress. I don't want to be a hanger," she
said.
Huma feels there are so many actresses
today who are not size zero but still have
a huge fan following. However, if in the
near future a role demands for her to
transform herself, she is game for it.
The 26-year-old is looking forward to the
release of Nikhil Advani's 'D Day'. In the film, Huma had to perform some
heavy duty stunts and it was not only
challenging but difficult as well for her to
pull it off.
"More than shooting difficult action
sequences, trying to look like a RAW
agent, keeping the character in mind, not
forgetting the lines etc... There is so
much synchronisation that happens when
you do action scenes," she said.
"Besides action, there are cars blowing
up, gunshots, blast happening in the
background and you don't want to mess
it up with (bad) performance... So all that
is scary," she added.
The actress has decided that until and
unless a very good action film comes her
way she will not do one. D Day will see Arjun Rampal playing an
ex-officer of an Indian Armed Forces
unit, Irrfan Khan an undercover RAW official and Huma an explosive expert.
While veteran actor Rishi Kapoor plays a
negative role.
"Rishi Kapoor is my favourite co-star in
the film he is fun to work with. He has
great anecdotes, he is very inspiring. He
is child-like... He is dedicated and
passionate about his work," she said.
"Irrfan is a great performer. As a co-star
its difficult to know what he will do next
as he is full of surprises. Having an actor
like Irrfan in the film is like a blessing,
he takes it (film) to another level. Arjun
is the most good looking and fittest actor we have," she added.
