"I was like I am the wrong person for this role," said Huma Qureshi
Huma Qureshi has shared a behind-the-scenes video from the sets of her latest film Tarla, a biopic on the late food writer and chef Tarla Dalal. The movie was released on July 7 on the streaming platform Zee5. In the BTS clip, Huma opened up about her character. The actress said, “I was like I am the wrong person for this role. I don't look like Tarla Dalal. I am nothing like her. Because she was much shorter, pretty and her facial structure and all of that…Then director Piyush [Gupta] told me don't worry about the height. We have to capture her heart, her soul, and what she stood for…And, I was convinced.” Talking about the most painful part, Huma said, “I had these special dentures designed as our face structure was very different. It is not just the front teeth but a piece that changes the shape of my face.” Sharing the video, Huma wrote, “When even the BTS makes you emotional… thank you for giving Tarla to me.”
