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

On Father’s Day, actress Huma Qureshi has shared an emotional note reflecting on her father and the values he left behind. She spoke about how she has come to understand the depth of his sacrifices and life lessons over time. Huma also expressed her pride in carrying his legacy forward in her own journey. Sharing photos, the “Maharani” actress wrote, “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.”

“Showing up every day, even when life wasn’t easy. Somewhere along the way, you stop seeing your father as just a parent and start seeing the person behind the role. And that changes everything. 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,” added Huma Qureshi.

The photos feature Huma from her childhood to the present day. The first throwback image shows the actress as a toddler sitting on her father’s lap, while the next highlights her bonding with him. One tender moment captures the actress hugging her father as he plants a kiss on her head.

On the work front, Huma will next be seen in the upcoming film “Baby Do Die Do.” The movie stars Huma in the role of Baby Karmarkar, aka India’s first desi hitwoman. It also features Sikandar Kher, Chunky Panday, Rachit Singh, Marudha Shekhawat, Vidya Malvade, Arun Kushwah and Himanshu Malik. Directed by Nachiket Samant and produced by Saqib Saleem, the film is slated to hit theatres on 3rd July.

Meanwhile, Huma has revealed why she took the “longer route” on purpose in a recent social media post. Sharing a light-hearted video, she joked about being caught in a loop with the song “Kaun Hai Who” playing on repeat. Huma captioned the post as, “Not sure if I’m taking the longer route on purpose, or if it’s just Kaun Hai Woh on repeat. #BabyDoDieDo #KaunHaiWoh.” In the video, the “Gangs of Wasseypur” actress is seen driving the car and singing the song.

Singer Mohit Chauhan has lent his voice to the track “Kaun Hai Woh” from Huma Qureshi-starrer “Baby Do Die Do.” The song has been composed by Arjun Iyer, with lyrics penned by Iyer and WB Sam. The romantic number portrays the growing love story between Huma Qureshi’s character Baby and Rachit Singh’s Siddhu, capturing the emotional depth and charm of their relationship.

Speaking about the song, Mohit Chauhan shared in a statement, “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.”
