Bollywood actress Huma Qureshi, known for her incredible versatility and range, revealed that Ed Sheeran had watched her debut film Gangs of Wasseypur and praised it. Huma made the revelation in a recent podcast with Prakhar Gupta.
Ed Sheeran praised Gangs of Wasseypur
In the podcast, Huma recounted meeting Ed Sheeran at a party Farah Khan hosted in his honour. “Ultimate flex tha jab main Ed Sheeran se mili aur usne Gangs of Wasseypur dekhi thi (It was the ultimate flex when I met Ed Sheeran and he had watched Gangs of Wasseypur). 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 then went on to teach Ed a few “interesting” Hindi words to show him the `flavour` of India. “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.”
