During the show, Chhabra asked if she dreamt of wanting to work with the Khans of the industry, said a statement.

The "Badlapur" actress said: "It honestly did not matter who I worked with when I arrived in Bombay. I just wanted to be a part of one film, any one film would do for me."

She reminisced how she was advised to first get into good commercials to get noticed by film directors.

Following the advice, Huma got to act in television commercials alongside stars like Aamir Khan, Abhishek Bachchan and many other big names of the industry.
