At BIFF 2025, Huma was honoured with the Face of Asia award at Marie Claire’s Asia Star Award ceremony, acknowledging her contribution to cinema and her journey as an actress in Bollywood.

Receiving the honour, Huma delivered an emotional speech reflecting on her roots and her journey, “For a little girl who grew up in a middle-class family in New Delhi, whose father was born in Nizamuddin Basti and whose mother was born in a village in Kashmir, I was always told that acting or even thinking of becoming an actress was not for someone like me. So, to be here and to receive this is validation not just for me, but for all those little girls out there who have been told that certain things are not for them. This is for all the little girls who dare to dream and who don’t take no for an answer.”

With Bayaan continuing its run at international festivals, this milestone further reinforces Huma Qureshi’s reputation as one of India’s versatile performers with growing global recognition.
