Mumbai, Feb 19 (TIWN) Huma Qureshi, who has some versatile roles lined up in her upcoming projects, including the just-released web series 'Mithya', says she has a strategy of not repeating herself or playing the same kind of character in the projects she signs.
Whether playing an accidental politician Rani Bharti in the web series 'Maharani', a pivotal part in the Hollywood flick 'Army of the Dead', Shalini in Deepa Mehta's web series 'Leila', a Hindi teacher in 'Mithya', making a special appearance in the Alia Bhatt-starrer 'Gangubai Kathiawadi', or landing a role in south superstar Ajith's upcoming film 'Valimai', Huma is consistently choosing different kind of characters for each of her projects. In a conversation with IANS, Huma said, "That is the whole idea, I do not want to repeat myself as an actor. When I interact with the media or my fans, they get to see how I am in real life. When they see me on-screen, every time I want them to say, 'Hey but this is not Huma!' Because I want to put myself out of my comfort zone and find challenge in every character I play." She went on to add, "I have no other drive but to prove myself in every film and series that I do, because I am living my dream. I am still that girl from Delhi with the dream of pretending to be someone else, wearing different clothes, posing in front of the mirror, using her mother's dupatta and lipstick!
