Huma Qureshi shared her clear stand on cinema during a recent Unplugged podcast with Shubhankar Mishra, and her words now have you talking across social media. She opened up about how she chooses scripts and why her values guide every decision.
She spoke about her journey from Gangs of Wasseypur to intense dramas like Maharani and the next season of Delhi Crime Season 3. When asked if she must believe in a story before signing it, she joked about big cheques but stayed firm on her principles.
Huma said no amount of money will ever push her to do a propaganda film. She defined such films as those that spread hatred and harm people. She said cinema should entertain and uplift, not add to the problems people already face.
The podcast clip went viral as viewers supported her for speaking without hesitation. Many felt her views echo the concerns artists face today while navigating rising political tension and labels tied to films and celebrities.
Huma’s stand shows that integrity still matters in an industry driven by numbers. She reminded you that art carries responsibility, and no paycheck is worth losing your values for.
