Huma Qureshi expresses her pride in carrying her father’s legacy forward

Actress Huma Qureshi took to social media on Father's Day to share a heartfelt tribute to her father, Saleem, reflecting on his enduring values and sacrifices. Qureshi expressed a deep understanding of his life lessons, acknowledging the profound impact he has had on her journey.

“

As children, we think our fathers have all the answers. Then we grow up and realise they were figuring things out too. Carrying responsibilities we didn’t understand. Making sacrifices they never spoke about.

"As children, we think our fathers have all the answers," Qureshi wrote, sharing throwback photos spanning her childhood to the present. "Then we grow up and realise they were figuring things out too. Carrying responsibilities we didn’t understand. Making sacrifices they never spoke about." She added that as she matured, she began to see her father not just as a parent but as an individual, a realization that profoundly shifted her perspective.

Qureshi conveyed her pride in carrying forward her father's legacy, noting the family's continued involvement in storytelling. "The Saleems are now serving stories too. Our first one arrives on 3rd July," she announced, hinting at their shared creative endeavors. The accompanying photos captured tender moments between Huma and her father, illustrating their close bond.

Maybe that’s why the answer to so many questions in life quietly remains the same. Kaun hai woh? Dad, before anyone. Feels surreal to take his legacy forward, the Saleems are now serving stories too. Our first one arrives on 3rd July. Happy Father’s Day.

On the professional front, Qureshi is gearing up for the release of her upcoming film, 'Baby Do Die Do,' where she plays India's first desi hitwoman, Baby Karmarkar. The movie, produced by her brother Saqib Saleem, is scheduled for a July 3rd theatrical release. The film also features Sikandar Kher, Chunky Panday, and others. Recently, Qureshi shared a light-hearted video related to the film's soundtrack, joking about being caught in a loop with the song 'Kaun Hai Who.' The song itself, sung by Mohit Chauhan, is a romantic number composed by Arjun Iyer, aiming to capture the emotional depth of the relationship between Qureshi's character and Rachit Singh's character, Siddhu.

What I loved most about ‘Kaun Hai Woh’ is the mystery woven into its melody. It doesn’t tell you everything upfront; instead, it invites you into Baby’s world one emotion at a time. There is a sense of curiosity and vulnerability in the song that I really connected with as a singer.
