Keeping mum over speculations

Actress Huma Qureshi is maintaining a guarded silence over speculations that she was the cause behind the separation of film-maker Anurag Kashyap and his actress wife Kalki Koechlin. Buzz in Bollywood is that the growing proximity between Huma and Anurag was the cause behind the marital discord between the film-maker and Kalki.

However, the actress, who won critical acclaim in her debut film ‘Gangs of Wasseypur’, has been maintaining that she is not dating the film-maker. “I had to say what I had to. I made my stand clear so there is nothing new to add,” said Huma, when asked about her relationship with Anurag. Recently, actor Hrithik Roshan and wife Susanne announced their separation and Arjun Rampal was seen as the reason for the break-up.

 Though Arjun cleared the air, Huma doesn’t want to comment on the issue. “I don’t want to comment on other people’s life. That is not right. If I had to, I would have. I have made my stand very clear that there is nothing new to add,” the actress said.

Huma said she was not personally bothered about the negative media coverage but is concerned about her family’s reaction. “It doesn’t bother me but I get hurt if my family gets affected by it. I honestly think if someone writes something about you, it doesn’t become the truth. As long as my family is aware about what is happening in my life, it doesn’t bother me much. I get upset at times when things are written but then it passes,” she noted.

There were reports about Huma throwing attitude and acting pricey, especially with the media. Recently, she even made fun of a senior reporter who was stammering while interviewing her for her upcoming film Dedh Ishqiya. “I don’t know where it all came from. It was a joke and may be someone just wrote something. I am pretty media-friendly and even get scolded for that,” she added.
