Huma Qureshi recalls David Dhawan’s advice: ‘Beta log kahenge weight loss karle, surgery karle, don’t change’

She added, “He said, ‘Beta, you are a very good actor. Tereko bahaut log bolenge weight lose karle, surgery karle, kuch nahi karna (A lot of people will ask you to lose weight, get a surgery done, don’t do any of it). Audience has accepted you. And once audience accepts you, you don’t need anything. You just have to understand you have to entertain your audience.”

“I was like, ‘That’s really good advice.’ And that coming from industry seniors, when they just randomly meet you and they give you this advice, you just write it down: ‘Yeh bhoolna nahi hai'”, said the actress.

Huma, who debuted as a producer with her 2022 film Double XL, further spoke about body toxicity and said, “The problem is in our country, nobody is happy with what they have. The grass is always greener on the other side. If you will get into fixing your nose, you will ruin your chin and so on and so forth. Just let people be. Nobody is supposed to look perfect.” The actress then joked, “Already so many people hit on me, if I will get more perfect, it will be the end of the world.”
