Huma Qureshi revealed that she was paid a modest sum of **Rs 65,000 for both parts** of Anurag Kashyap's cult crime saga *Gangs of Wasseypur*, which launched her Bollywood career[1][2]. She recalled the humble beginnings during the film's shoot, including staying in a run-down hotel called Swati International, while Anurag Kashyap and Nawazuddin Siddiqui stayed in very bleak guest houses nearby[1][2]. Despite these modest conditions, the experience was special and formative for her, marking her entry into the film industry[4]. Additionally, Huma shared that her parents initially **mistrusted her first film offer**, suspecting it to be connected to a prostitution racket, which made her feel sad but showed her early struggles to prove the legitimacy of her career choice[6][7][8]. In summary, Huma's early film career started with limited pay and challenging conditions but led to a breakthrough with *Gangs of Wasseypur*, a film now regarded as a classic and key to her success.
