Huma Qureshi has been a talented actress and is someone who always speaks her mind. Recently she got talking to E Times and the diva spoke about pay disparity and what feminism actually means.
Pay disparity debate has been going on for a long time in the industry. Several of our female stars do not get paid as much as their male counterparts and there have always been several actresses who have raised their voice against it. Huma Qureshi shares her views on the same and says, “I believe in equal pay for equal work. If two people are doing the same amount of work, and if they have the same standing at the box office, they should be paid equally. I don’t believe that I should be paid more or less only because I am a woman. Feminism doesn’t mean being toxic and angry. It doesn’t mean pulling other people down. It means you believe in equality for both genders. A feminist is someone who enables and empowers other women. It doesn’t mean saying that only women are the best and everyone is inferior to them.” The actress even said to E Times that of late she believes that there has been a very toxic model of feminism that has been floated around in the market and Huma surely doesn’t stand for the same.
Ask the Badlapur actress if she plans to become a producer in the future like other actresses and Huma says that she will continue to work in whatever way possible. “Let me put it this way, till the day I die, I will always be working… I don’t know in what capacity, but I will always be a part of films — my first love.”
The actress has taken to writing amidst the pandemic which she is not ready to reveal anything about it. Huma Qureshi was last seen in webseries Maharani where her role was loved by everyone and praised by the critics. The actress will be seen in Akshay Kumar starrer Bell Bottom soon.
