Huma Qureshi attends special screening of 'Baby Do Die Do' in Jammu
Jammu, July 20
Actor Huma Qureshi on Monday attended the special screening of her latest release 'Baby Do Die Do' in Jammu.
She was accompanied by her brother-actor Saqib Saleem and Rachit Singh.
Speaking to the media, Huma said, "Jammu is a place where not a lot of promotions happen But I don't know why. And we all have to change that. The love that the city has given us has really been very, very wonderful. Just really honoured to be here. And we hope that the love that you've given us and shown us today, you'll continue to show on our film."
In 'Baby Do Die Do', Huma essays the role of a deaf-mute assassin.
Earlier speaking to ANI,Huma reflected on the evolving landscape of women in action.
"I'm playing a female hitwoman who can't hear or speak. That is not a disability or a weakness but actually her strength. There is a stereotype of a hitman always being a male. But why can't it be a woman?," she said.
She emphasised how the current time marks a promising phase for action films led by women, driven by changing audience expectations and greater representation of women across professions.
"I don't think we're going anywhere," Huma said, pointing out that women today are making their mark in every sphere of life, from journalism and acting to the police and armed forces.
'Baby Do Die Do' hit the theatres on July 3.

Huma is absolutely right - women are breaking barriers everywhere, and it's high time we see more female-led action films in Bollywood. The way she talks about disability as strength is refreshing. But I just wish they'd also promote films in smaller towns of J&K, not just Jammu city. Still, good step forward.
Finally some attention to Jammu! We feel left out when all promotions happen in Mumbai and Delhi. Huma and Saqib coming here shows they value us. The film's concept of a hitwoman with a hearing impairment is intriguing - will definitely watch this weekend. More power to regional audiences! 🎬
Huma Qureshi has always chosen unique roles, and this one sounds fascinating. But I hope the film doesn't trivialize disability - it needs to be handled with sensitivity. Her point about women in action films is valid though; times are changing, and audiences want more diverse storytelling. Good luck to the team!
It's encouraging to see Indian cinema embracing strong female protagonists in action roles. Huma's comment about representation in every profession mirrors global trends. The fact that she promoted the film in Jammu shows humility. Hope 'Baby Do Die Do' gets the love it deserves - concepts like these need box office support to become mainstream. 🌟
Great initiative by Huma to visit Jammu! As someone from the region, I can tell you that such events create a huge buzz locally. However, I wish the film industry would look beyond just promotional visits - perhaps they could host film festivals or workshops here too. But tonight, I'm
