Huma Qureshi on becoming a judge on India's Best Dramebaaz: It is not an easy task

Actress Huma Qureshi, who in the past has impressed audience and critics alike with her performances in films including Gangs of Wasseypur and Badlapur, is busy with mutliple film projects at the moment. The actress is one of the jugdes on the talent hunt show India's Best Dramebaaz.

"I think people should just keep working hard enough to stay relevant. Personally, I do not chase success. I chase excellence and that is more important for me," Huma told IANS.

"I am just having a good time with whatever opportunity is coming my way rather than analysing too much about my journey," she added.

It is the actress' first time on the small screen, and so she was a little nervous and excited at the same time."It will surely be a different journey for me because normally I have gone to talent hunt shows as a guest to promote my films, but this is very different. Honestly, judging talent is not an easy task. These young participants are very talented and I am looking forward to them," Huma told the agency.

But does she think that being a part of a TV show at such a young age would really help these kids in future? The Jolly LLB actress said, "Becoming an actor and getting success is a different thing, but what this show has managed to do is mentoring these kids."

She went on to say that through the show the kids are gaining confidence and that their performance is getting better. Having started her career in the world of ad films, Huma made her debut in Bollywood in 2012 and acted in various films like Dedh Ishqiya, Viceroy's House and Kaala.

So, as a child did she always want to be an actress? 

"No, not at all. In fact, I wish we had a platform like this when I was a kid, I was not that focused and confident like these youngsters are. Getting good grooming and regular performance makes a lot of difference," she told the agency.

India's Best Dramebaaz is also judged by Vivek Oberoi and Omung Kumar.
