During a visit to a theatre in Jammu, Huma revealed that Kashmir holds a special place in her heart because it is her maternal family’s home. Recalling her personal connection with the region, she said, “For Kashmir is my Nanihal because my mama’s from here. So I always consider Jammu and Kashmir to be my, you know, Nannihal. And I always get so much love Jammu. In fact, especially so also because I shot here. You know, I shot three seasons of Maharani over here and it was absolutely lovely.”
Speaking about the transformation she has witnessed over the years, Huma said she believes Kashmir has changed significantly and hopes to play a role in its future growth, especially in the field of arts and cinema. “Kashmir has changed tremendously. I feel like it needs more change. Like I would want to be part of that change. I feel like as part of my legacy and my nanihal. I want to be able to like, you know, do more. Whether it means engaging with young people over here, who could be interested in performing arts or cinema over here. Whether it means bringing my industry over here, whether it’s shooting opportunities or exchange opportunities, collaborating with writers, musicians, actors, storytellers from here there’s so many, so many incredible things that could happen,” she said.
She further expressed optimism about the future, adding, “The possibility of that and I hope inshaallah, fingers crossed, you know, all of us together are able to write that. Because of park sponsor terrorism Jammu and Kashmir had been known for all wrong reasons. But now people here see you as one of the ambassadors of this region.”
