Life lessons: Learning something from everything

Actor Huma Qureshi says bad times are as important as <br /> good days

NEW DELHI: Currently busy with three films —Dobaara, Viceroy’s House and White — actor Huma Qureshi shares that experiencing bad times in someone’s life is as important as witnessing good times. Stating that one learns many things through negative experiences, she believes it only makes one work harder and achieve greater heights.

“I think bad times are very important, maybe even more than the good times. Like it is said, while it’s important to win, it is equally important to lose. It teaches you to pick yourself up, dust off and work harder,” the actor said at the launch of a footwear store.

The 29-year-old actor, who is going to share screen space with Downton Abbey star Hugh Bonneville in Gurinder Chadha’s British-Indian film Viceroy’s House, is also one of the Bollywood starlets who is known for her unique fashion sense. According to Qureshi, looking good at all times is very important to set the right example for the youth.



“As a person in the limelight, people are always watching and observing you, whether you like it or not. You automatically feel a certain sense of responsibility that you shouldn’t do something that is detrimental to anyone else,” Qureshi added.

On the same note, Qureshi feels the fashion police is very important for keeping a check on one’s style sheet. “Police, fashion or otherwise, helps to regulate, you know. It helps you to put your best foot forward and facilitate a healthy trend. So it’s not about being scared but one can’t complain as it is here to stay,” said the actor who is an ardent follower of the on-going season of Game of Thrones.
