Huma Qureshi, who made her acting debut with Gangs of Wasseypur in 2012, now lives in one of Juhu's most stunning bungalows–co-owned with her brother, actor Saqib Saleem, who first appeared in Mujhse Fraaandship Karoge in 2011. The luxurious space recently played host to filmmaker Farah Khan, who featured the sibling duo in her latest vlog.
Upon arriving, Farah couldn't help but praise their home: 'Huma and Saqib have one of the best houses in this lane,' she said, before correcting herself, 'Actually, in the whole of Mumbai.'
Reminiscing about Huma's journey in Mumbai, Farah recalled visiting all her earlier homes. 'Your first house was really tiny. With every move, your houses kept getting bigger,' she said. Asking if this is their 'forever house,' Huma replied, 'We want this to be our forever home. I don't think we'll find anything better than this.'
Farah admitted she was surprised when Huma first told her she was looking for a bungalow. Huma explained, 'When you move from another city to become an actor, you don't feel like a movie star until you have a bungalow. It was my middle-class dream.'
Amused by the term 'middle-class' for such a grand home, Farah laughed, to which Huma responded, 'God has been kind, and we have worked really hard. We were shooting almost every day.'
Farah also revealed that the only gift she gave them was a carpet. 'I brought it with love, but it's too small for their house,' she laughed. Huma playfully added, 'Don't worry, we will give you another opportunity to gift us more.' Saqib chimed in, showing her empty corners she could fill.

As they toured the house, the siblings proudly introduced their art collection, including works from Goa's Subodh Kerkar. Farah joked, 'Wow, you've turned into a curator after Googling everything,' to which Huma responded, 'I've always loved art. Earlier, we didn't have the money, now that we do, we are investing in it.'
The house also features thoughtful gifts from their friends, including a painting from actors Rajkummar Rao and Patralekhaa. Farah admired a mirror in the dining area, to which Huma explained, 'It has dua written on it.' Farah nodded, 'Mirrors near dining tables are lucky. It brings abundance.'
In the outdoor area, Saqib suggested installing a cricket net. Farah agreed, but Huma hilariously warned, 'I'll kill you if you do that.'
They next moved to the kitchen, where Farah happily pointed out: 'Dilip, there's no AC here.' Huma joked, 'Because we are poor.' As their mother cooked mutton yakhni, a mishap with the curd prompted Saqib to quip, 'We spent all our money on artwork, we couldn't afford a better mixer.' Farah added, 'Says someone living in a bungalow.'
The episode also revealed that the siblings come from a family of entrepreneurs. Saqib shared that they own Saleem's, a popular restaurant in Delhi started by their father at 17. The restaurant is now 47 years old. Their mother also owns a salon called AMIQUR, named after her–Ameena Qureshi. Farah was visibly shocked and exclaimed, 'Whaat?!'
While Huma's exact net worth remains undisclosed, a Bollywood Shaadis report from 2023 estimated it at ₹23 crore.
