Sharing the moment proudly, she said, “Ultimate flex tha jab main Ed Sheeran se mili. Aur usne Gangs of Wasseypur dekhi thi. And I was like, what? You have watched Gangs of Wasseypur? Farah Khan had hosted a party for Ed Sheeran when he was in Mumbai, and everyone met him there. I was trying to have a conversation with him, and he was very sweet. He said, I love your country, and I would love to do music here.”

She further shared how she attempted to introduce him to the ‘flavour’ of India by teaching him some fun Hindi words. Recounting the moment, she added, “So, he was being called away. And I said if you want to learn some more interesting colourful language, you must watch this film of ours, Gangs Of Wasseypur. He stopped and asked, ‘You were in that movie?’ I said, ‘Yes’. He said, ‘We just saw that movie.’ And then he called his manager, and then Farah was like, ‘What have you said to him, why is he calling his manager?’ And Ed said, ‘We just watched the film. And we really loved it. It’s such a cool film.’ And I was like this is quite a cool moment.”

Gangs of Wasseypur (2012) is a critically acclaimed two-part crime epic directed by Anurag Kashyap. The film traces a violent, multi-generational feud between two families battling for dominance in the coal mafia, set against the backdrop of India’s coal belt from the 1940s to the mid-1990s. Moreover, featuring powerhouse performances by Manoj Bajpayee, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, and Pankaj Tripathi, the film is celebrated for its raw storytelling, dark humour, and unfiltered portrayal of crime and politics.

Huma Qureshi, who marked her debut with the film, portrayed Mohsina. A bold, sharp, and memorable character played by her brought both charm and complexity to the gritty narrative.
