They thought, why would somebody cast you? I think it's the most audacious thing they had heard. They thought it was a prostitution racket; they were convinced.”“Now, when I look back at them, I'm like, you really had no faith in my ability to gauge anything for myself. But yeah, it took a bit of convincing, and of course, my parents don't come from this world. Even now, I don't think they have too much understanding of the ways of the industry,” she added.Despite the apprehensions, Huma decided to take the plunge and explore the opportunity. She said she went to the office, read the script, and the next day they called her for a screen test.
