Huma Qureshi, Leila the web series that marked her digital debut paved the way for a major change in her career and has even prepared her for international projects. \u201cThe fact that people liked Leila is the biggest achievement for me. It has opened doors and taken me closer to bigger opportunities. I don\u2019t think my work would have had an access to a larger, global audience had it not been for Leila, and that\u2019s my biggest takeaway from the show,\u201d she says with a smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The actor admits that people around her were initially wary about her venturing into the digital space. \u201cPeople were a bit apprehensive about the whole digital evolution that happened in India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019ve spent a lot of my evenings watching some great shows from different parts of the world and I always thought that it would be cool to be part of them. So, when I got the opportunity to headline Leila, I gladly dipped my hands in it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt was scary to think I\u2019m giving a chunk of my time and life to doing Leila and not any movie. But, I thought the leap would be a larger opportunity to having a show of my own and headlining it. Moreover, the eyeballs it would receive would supersede the eyeballs that any of my films would draw when they release or are distributed in India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2019, Huma says, was a rather interesting year for her. \u201cI feel very blessed and happy. I was in Delhi shooting for Leila. Post that, I went to America and then I started working on Army Of The Dead with Zack Snyder . He\u2019s one of the best in the business.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
