Huma Qureshi has hit out at people who hold extreme views. She said:
“When you can be together and have the best of all the worlds, why would you choose to take such an extreme point of view and miss out on these beautiful experiences and lovely friends? I think people who take such an extreme point of view, have either ulterior motives, or need medical help.”
Qureshi also said that it was ‘baffling’ that we didn’t learn from our past.

“It’s sad. We haven’t really learnt (from the past). It’s really sad, it’s baffling. I think people who talk like that need medical help, this is what my personal opinion is. I don’t think any God, religion, country, or the idea of nation should divide, it should unify. You should look at the unifying forces, like music, poetry, dance, culture and food. I’ve grown up in a more secular way. I was raised a Muslim but I’ve played Krishna in Janmashtami, in our school and colony skits. We used to celebrate Diwali and Eid with equal fun.”
