Actor Huma Qureshi has addressed ongoing speculation about her personal life, saying she is in no rush to get married despite recent rumours linking her to actor and acting coach Rachit Singh. The actress, who recently made her debut as a film producer with Baby Do Die Do, says her current priority is work, not wedding plans.
Speaking candidly during a recent interaction, Huma laughed off the rumours, revealing that even her mother frequently asks the same question.
“You and my mum have the same questions! I don’t know when the wedding will happen. Marriage will happen when the time is right. Right now, I have a lot of work and this is a very busy year,” she said.
Huma Qureshi Focused on Her Production Journey
Beyond acting, Huma recently stepped into film production alongside her brother, actor Saqib Saleem. Their banner, Saleem Siblings, aims to develop original stories with practical budgets while giving creative voices an opportunity to shine.
Describing production as both challenging and rewarding, Huma said the experience gave her a deeper appreciation for filmmaking.
According to the actress, producing a film means taking responsibility for every aspect of the project—from budgeting and scheduling to managing people and solving unexpected challenges behind the scenes.
Why She Chose to Become a Producer
Huma explained that producing films was a natural step after years of working as an actor.
She believes actors often depend on opportunities created by others, while producing allows them to create those opportunities themselves.
The actress added that not every meaningful story requires a massive budget.
“Some stories don’t need hundreds of crores to be told. They just need the right team, honesty and passion.”
She also expressed happiness that Baby Do Die Do continues to attract audiences weeks after its theatrical release.
On Big-Budget Films and Box Office Pressure
The actress also shared her views on the growing emphasis on opening weekend collections and blockbuster budgets.
According to Huma, conversations around cinema should focus more on storytelling than numbers.
She said the true success of a film lies in whether audiences remember it, recommend it to others, or choose to watch it again.
Instead of chasing inflated box office figures, Huma believes filmmakers should concentrate on creating memorable cinematic experiences.
Delhi Remains Home
During the promotion of Baby Do Die Do, Huma visited Delhi, where she spent time interacting with audiences in theatres.
She described the city as home, recalling surprise encounters with former neighbours and college friends during promotional visits.
The actress also reflected on her family’s journey—from her father’s long-running restaurant business in Delhi to both siblings establishing themselves as actors and now producers.
Speaking Responsibly as a Public Figure
Huma also discussed the responsibilities that come with being a public figure.
Without commenting on politics directly, she said she believes in speaking up for humanity whenever necessary but also feels that celebrities should not be expected to comment on every issue immediately.
According to her, people often need time to understand situations before expressing opinions publicly.
What’s Next for Huma Qureshi?
With acting and production now moving forward simultaneously, Huma says she plans to continue developing content-driven films through Saleem Siblings while balancing her acting commitments.
For now, wedding plans remain off the table as the actor concentrates on expanding her creative career.
