In a candid chat with Mid-Day, Huma said, “Our first collaboration was on Jolly LLB 2. It was not a very big part, but during the edit, my role became even smaller.”

Recalling her reaction, she added, “I remember being really upset about it and saying, ‘I’m not doing anything in this film.’” The actress further shared that one of her strongest scenes, which appeared in the trailer, was eventually cut from the movie.

“Sometimes, some of your best scenes get cut out. No one really plans it, but it happens. I was very upset that I didn’t really have an arc. I detest from my core playing ornamental parts, and that’s what it ended up becoming. But sometimes there’s nothing you can do,” Huma expressed.
