Actor Huma Qureshi is ready to take the next big leap, but not without pausing to reflect on the winding road that brought her here. As she gears up to launch ‘Saleem Siblings’, a production house she co-founded with brother and fellow actor Saqib Saleem, Huma opened her heart to fans on Thursday with an emotional Instagram post.
In a nostalgic video, Huma shared childhood photos and home video clips. It featured her and Saqib, a montage full of laughter, sibling goofiness, and more!

The video was a love letter to their younger selves. It was an ode to their roots, and the unpredictable ride that led them from Delhi to Mumbai.
“We came to Mumbai with a suitcase full of dreams and a heart full of madness,” Huma wrote. “No roadmap, no guarantees… Just this wild, stubborn belief that one day we will also get a chance to tell the kind of stories we grew up watching.”
She didn’t hold back about the early days, the grind of back-to-back auditions, long waits, cramped commutes in shared rickshaws, and the emotional weight of chasing big dreams with limited resources.
“Saleem Siblings isn’t just a company,” Huma explained. “It’s the name of every silly childhood game. Every heartbreak we turned into a scene, every dinner table fight that ended in a script.”
Calling their venture a “love letter to cinema,” Huma’s post captured the bittersweet cocktail of nerves and excitement that comes with starting something new. “We’re nervous, we’re excited. We’re ridiculously emotional,” she confessed.
The big reveal? The first look of their upcoming project under the ‘Saleem Siblings’ banner is ready to drop tomorrow. Huma ended the post with a tease: “Somewhere out there on a very, very big screen. If you know, you know.”
