Happy Birthday Huma Qureshi!

Qureshi was born on 28^th July, 1986 in Delhi into a Muslim family consisting of Saleem Qureshi, a restaurateur, and Ameena Qureshi, a housewife. She has three brothers: Naeem Qureshi, Haseen Qureshi and actor Saqib Saleem. Qureshi graduated from Gargi College (Delhi University) with honours in History.

After moving to Mumbai in 2008, the beautiful Qureshi started her career with television commercials, appearing in ads alongside big names such as Aamir Khan and Shah Rukh Khan. It was during the Samsung Mobile ad that director Anurag Kashyap spotted the pretty lady and cast her in his crime drama Gangs of Wasseypur (2012) alongside Manoj Bajpayee and opposite Nawazuddin Siddiqui. In the film she played the role of Mohsina, a girl who believes she is the prettiest in her village. With her simple, innocent looks and wonderful performance, Qureshi won the hearts of everyone, be it audience or critics. The same year, the sequel of the movie, Gangs of Wasseypur 2 released and the pretty lass reprised her role of Mohsina and impressed everyone again with her super performance.

Qureshi next starred in Luv Shuv Tey Chicken Khurana opposite Kunal Kapoor as the feisty Punjabi girl Harman. Although the film and her performance was well received by the critics, the film failed to impress the audience. In 2013, the dazzling star appeared in three different kind of movies, earning critical acclaim with the supernatural thriller Ek Thi Daayan, anthology film Shorts and underworld drama D-Day. The gorgeous diva was last seen in Dedh Ishqiya (2014), sequel of Ishqiya, opposite Arshad Warsi and alongside Madhuri Dixit Nene and Naseeruddin Shah. She garnered appreciation for her portrayal of Begum Para's (Dixit) companion.

Of future projects, the ravishing Qureshi has Badlapur in her kitty, which is expected to release some time in 2015 and a Marathi film titled Highway.
