At Expresso, Huma recalled how the opportunity to become part of the iconic project came her way. It began when a casting director recommended her for an ad shoot, where she first met Kashyap.
“Gangs of Wasseypur changed my life. I was this young, Delhi girl. I went for the ad shoot and I was wearing a lot of makeup, the amount one should wear for advertisements. Anurag Kashyap pointed out at my face and asked me, ‘What is this?’ I was in my own attitude and I told him, ‘Mera dasva ad hai, aapka pehla hai (It’s my tenth ad, might be your first).’ I think that’s when he decided I am a fit for the film,” she laughed and shared.
