Bollywood actress Huma Qureshi has spoken about her deep emotional bond with Jammu and Kashmir. She shared her happiness over the positive response to her recently released film Baby Do Die Do and expressed a desire to work with local artists in the region.
Huma Qureshi Calls Kashmir Her Nanihal
During a visit to a theatre in Jammu, Huma revealed that Kashmir holds a special place in her heart because it is her maternal family's home. According to Bollywood Hungama, she said, “For Kashmir is my Nanihal because my mama’s from here. So I always consider Jammu and Kashmir to be my, you know, Nannihal. And I always get so much love in Jammu.”
Film Baby Do Die Do Gets Houseful Response
The actress expressed happiness after learning that her film has been drawing houseful audiences in the region. This positive response has encouraged her to think about contributing more to Kashmir’s growing creative landscape.
Huma Qureshi’s Plan to Collaborate with Local Artists
Huma shared her desire to work with local artists and storytellers from Kashmir. She hopes to collaborate with them in the future, recognizing the creative potential in the region. As reported by Bollywood Hungama, she noted that Kashmir has changed tremendously over time.
Our Take: A Meaningful Step for Regional Collaboration
Huma Qureshi’s desire to work with local Kashmiri artists is a positive sign for the region’s creative industry. In our view, when mainstream Bollywood stars actively seek collaboration with local talent, it can open new doors for artists who often lack a national platform. Her personal connection to Kashmir makes this effort more genuine. It is encouraging to see an actress using her success to shine a light on regional creativity rather than just promoting her film. We hope this leads to real projects that benefit both the artists and the audience.
