Huma Qureshi will be essaying the role of the best-selling cookbook author and home chef, Tarla Dalal, in the upcoming biopic Tarla directed by Piyush Gupta.
Commenting on her character, Huma said: “Tarla Dalal reminds me of my childhood. My mom had a copy of her book in the kitchen and would often try many of her recipes for my school tiffin.”
Huma, incidentally, comes from a family of restaurateurs. Her father runs the famous Delhi restaurant chain, Saleem’s, which is known for its kababs.
Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari said: “Tarla’s story is about a working mother who single-handedly changed the face of vegetarian cooking in the country and also paved the way for home cooks and food startups to achieve their dreams.”Screwvala added: “Tarla Dalal’s story is a textbook example of entrepreneurship — how it is never too late to work towards your ambitions.”
