Humaa Qureshi (pronounced [ɦuːmaː qureʃiː]; born 28 July 1986 in Delhi) is an Indian actress who appears in Hindi films. She worked as a theater actor and model before beginning her film career. After starring in several theatrical productions, Qureshi moved to Mumbai and signed a two-year contract with Hindustan Unilever to appear in television commercials. During the shoot of a Samsung mobile commercial, Anurag Kashyap noticed her acting ability and signed her for his films.

Qureshi made her feature-film debut with a supporting role in the 2012 critically acclaimed crime drama Gangs of Wasseypur - Part 1 and Part 2 as Mohsina. Qureshi's performance won wide critical acclaim, earning several nominations in the Best Supporting Actress and Best Female Debut category (including the Filmfare). The following year, she was the lead in romantic comedy Luv Shuv Tey Chicken Khurana, an average grosser; however, her performance was praised by film critics.

In 2013, she received critical acclaim for her portrayal of unconventional characters, including a Witch in the horror thriller Ek Thi Daayan, an R.A.W.'s explosives expert in the underworld drama D-Day and a torment bearing young girl in the anthology film Shorts for which she won Indian Film Festival of Los Angeles – Special Mention.

Quraishi was born on 28 July 1986 into a Muslim family in Delhi, India.[3] Her father, Saleem Quraishi, is a restaurateur who runs a chain of restaurants (Saleem's); her mother, Ameena Qureshi (a Kashmiri), is a housewife.[4][5] She has three brothers: Naeem Qureshi, Haseen Qureshi and actor Saqib Saleem.[5] She grew up in Kalkaji, Greater Kailash, South Delhi.[6] Qureshi did her History Honours at the Gargi College.[7] Later, she joined Act 1 theater group and performed in few theatre productions. Qureshi has worked with several NGOs and assisted a documentary filmmaker.[4]

In 2008, she moved to Mumbai to audition for film roles, auditioning for a film (Junction) which was never made: "I never thought of coming to Mumbai or being an actress. But when my friend called me for an audition for a movie called Junction, it set me thinking. Sadly, the film never got made".[4] Qureshi signed a two-year contract with Hindustan Unilever to appear in their television commercials.[8] She promoted a range of products, including Samsung Mobile (with Aamir Khan), Nerolac (with Shah Rukh Khan), Vita Marie, Saffola Oil, Mederma Cream and Pears Soap.[9][8] During a shoot for a Samsung Mobile commercial, director Anurag Kashyap was impressed with her acting ability and promised to use her in a film. Qureshi recalled, "I didn’t believe him then. You hear lots of such stories in this industry so I wasn’t waiting with bated breath". Kashyap kept his promise, though, casting her in the two-part crime drama Gangs of Wasseypur.
