Huma Qureshi dismissed a call from Aamir Khan Productions as a prank

“I got a random call from someone who said, ‘Hi, my name is Tanmay Mohan. I work with Aamir Khan Productions, and we’re making a film. There’s a small part opposite him.’ I was only 19 at the time, living in Delhi, and honestly thought someone was just having fun at my expense,” Huma laughed.
