Huma Qureshi on being judged for her looks

During a conversation with Neha, Huma said, “After my second film, I started reading a lot of negative comments about my looks and appearance. It really affected me and I became very withdrawn for a while. I think when you are constantly being judged, it starts impacting your confidence. But over time, I realised I had to cut out the noise and focus on myself. I started meditating, writing about my feelings, journaling, and even taking therapy. Slowly, I became more secure about myself and the way I looked. Today, I can laugh at jokes, even crack jokes about myself, and take things in a much more positive way. I feel far more confident and comfortable in my own skin now.”
