In the interview with Aaj Tak when asked about polarization in the film industry based on religion. Huma said,

“Aaj kal jab mai ye baatein sunti hu toh lagta hai ki ye baatein ho kiu rahi hai? (I don’t understand where these things are coming from).”

The anchor replied to her saying,

“Yeh baatein isliye ho rahi hai kiuki jab PM Narendra Modi halhi mein America gaye they, media k taraf se ek hi sawal pucha gaya aur woh ye sawal tha bharat me jo musalman hai unke hit and adhikar surakshit nahi hai. Kya aapko lagta hai ye sawal sahi tha? (This has surfaced from PM Modi’s recent visit to the US where US media questioned him about the protection of Muslim rights. Do you think this was the right question)”

To this, the Gangs of Wasseypur actress replied in Hindi,

“I never realised that I am Muslim and I am different. My father is running a restaurant, Saleem’s in Kailash Colony (of Delhi). In my personal experience, I have never felt it. People might have felt it. Having said that I feel, questions should be asked and every government should answer.”
