MUMBAI, India \u2013 July 1 (ONLINE) India\u2019s leading Bollywood actress Huma Qureshi has said she believes the joy for playing a lead role in any project is \u201cempowering and scary\u201d at the same time.<\/p>\n

In a recent interview with an Indian media outlet, Huma talked about working non-stop and how the narrative for women and women-led stories has changed in the industry in the decade that she has been a part of this field. <\/p>\n

\u201cOpportunities and hopes come at the most unlikely times and from the most unheard of places. The two years, 2020 and 2021, were the pandemic years in public memory,\u201d Huma said, according to the Bollywood Times.<\/p>\n

After I worked with Deepa Mehta on the show Leila, my perspective changed in a big way. It was such a turning point. Khoon chakh liya maine! The joy of leading a project is scary and empowering in the same breath. And she gave me that. <\/p>\n

Deepa made me believe that I can carry an entire show and be in every frame without boring the audience. She made me believe that I had it in me. When an opportunity presents itself, you rise to the occasion.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
