In her recent podcast AfterHours with All About Eve, Huma Qureshi addressed the trolling that Deepika received by shedding light on the toxic culture of online criticism. “Ab kya bol sakte hai, (what can we say) ridiculous…We are supposed to present a kind of palatable…I guess, something they are expecting. I don’t know what it is, I don’t think anyone knows what it is,” she said.
Huma further talked about the trolling culture in today’s society, where individuals are subjected to criticism for every aspect of their lives, no matter their actions. “We are in a trolling culture. Black pehna hai to troll karo, black nahi pehna hai to troll karo. (If someone is wearing black, troll, if someone is not wearing black, troll them) You know, what I mean…” she expressed.

Sharing her own approach to dealing with online negativity, Huma revealed that she refrains from engaging with comments about herself on the internet. “I don’t even read it. I have no patience for it, I have nothing for it. Why should I waste 15 minutes of my life reading some loser’s deconstruction of my life choices? I am really not interested. But I feel that people who do that come from a place of being unhappy. So, I feel bad for them,” she stated.
On the work front, Huma will be next seen in her third season of Maharani which features the return of Rani Bharti with a powerful narrative wielding the weapon of education.
The show stars Huma as Rani, wife of Bihar’s Chief Minister Bheema Bharti (played by Sohum Shah) character. It is partly inspired by several incidents that happened in Bihar in the 1990s when Lalu Prasad, who had to resign as chief minister after he was arrested in the fodder scam, announced his homemaker wife Rabri Devi as his successor and got it endorsed by some 60 party legislators.
