Twinkle Khanna praises Huma Qureshi

Every performance seems to leave an enduring impression as Huma Qureshi enters a remarkable phase of her career. It's hard to ignore her now that Maharani 4 is streaming and Delhi Crime 3 is trending because of her terrifying performance as Badi Didi.

Her talent is being praised by fans, critics, and even some of Bollywood's most esteemed voices, who acknowledge her ability to effortlessly blend authenticity with raw intensity.

Rajkummar Rao had earlier referred to her performance as "phenomenal," and Tabu had praised her work in Delhi Crime 3 for its compelling realism.

Twinkle Khanna has now joined the chorus of praise, echoing the respect that Huma elicits within the industry.

Twinkle’s words capture the magic of Huma’s craft: “I’ve met Rani before, and season 4 ushers in a new generation. It widens the battlefield from Bihar to the whole country. Now, Huma — she’s my friend, but I have to say she’s exceptional as Rani Bharti. Even though I know her well, when I see her cracking her knuckles as she weighs her son against her daughter, and those eyes — her tired, jaded eyes that don’t change even when she smiles — I forget Huma completely. She’s all Rani. I think Maharani is one of India’s most beloved political thrillers because it gives you a glimpse into what’s happening behind all those headlines. My advice: start watching it — Huma won’t let you look away.”

Her portrayal of Rani Bharti is captivating and effortlessly commands attention, and her portrayal of Badi Didi in Delhi Crime 3 evokes a serene yet terrifying authority that stays with viewers long after the credits have rolled. Huma's genius is found in fully inhabiting her characters, giving them nuance, life, and dimension, rather than merely reciting lines or hitting marks.

She is being praised as one of the year's most impactful performers, which is not surprising. Huma Qureshi creates moments that enthral, provoke thought, and evoke emotion in addition to performing.
