Speaking about her experience of dealing with trolling and body-shaming, Huma said, “After my second film, I started reading a lot of negative comments about my looks and appearance. It really affected me, and I became very withdrawn for a while. I think when you are constantly being judged, it starts impacting your confidence.”In the deeply emotional conversation, Huma opened up about dealing with insecurities and online criticism and shared how, over time, she could begin her journey toward self-acceptance. “Over time, I realised I had to cut out the noise and focus on myself. I started meditating, writing about my feelings, journaling, and even taking therapy. Slowly, I became more secure about myself and the way I looked. Today, I can laugh at jokes, even crack jokes about myself, and take things in a much more positive way. I feel far more confident and comfortable in my own skin now,” Huma added.Huma Qureshi's careerHuma Qureshi made her acting debut with Anurag Kashyap’s Gangs of Wasseypur in 2012, which earned her critical acclaim.
