Her father, Saleem Qureshi, runs a chain of famous restaurants in the capital city by the name of Saleem's and mother Ameena Qureshi is a home maker. Huma has three brothers of which Saqib Saleem Qureshi is also an actor. After completing her graduation, Huma worked with a theater group and in 2008 decided to shift to Mumbai for trying her luck in the film industry. She got the opportunity to audition for a film called Junction. The movie, however, was never made. Not miffed by the same, Huma started taking up television commercials and signed up a two year deal with FMCG giant Unilever. She started promoting various products and was seen in different television commercials for products like Vita Marie, Saffola Oil, Mederma Cream and Pears Soap. She also did commercials with Bollywood biggies like Aamir Khan for Samsung Guru and Shah Rukh Khan for Nerolac.

She was slated for a debut with a Tamil movie Billa II directed by Chakri Toletti, she had to move away from the project when I got delayed. Instead, Huma had her debut with Anurag Kashyap's much acclaimed Gangs of Wasseypur - Part 1 in 2012. The two part thriller saw her in a supporting role opposite Nawazuddin Siddiqui. She played the role of Mohsina, the supportive wife of a criminal. She received excellent reviews for her portrayal of a Bollywood inspired village girl. Her garish clothes, perfect diction and brilliant acting all made people stand up and take notice of her. She was widely appreciated by renowned film critics. Some went on to compare her earthiness, looks and sincere acting style to yesteryear actress - the famous Smita Patil. The success got helped her reprise her role of Mohsina in the sequel of the movie, Gangs of Wasseypur - Part II in the same year. She was later seen in Anurag Kashyap's comedy - Luv Shuv Tey Chicken Khurana in lead role opposite actor Kunal Kapoor. The movie was a light family comedy in which the lead - Omi Khurana comes back to his village when he runs into bad luck. He meets his childhood sweetheart Harman (played by Huma) who is all set to get married to his cousin. What follows is a discovery of the age old secret recipe of the famous Chicken Khurana and turn of fortunes for the family by revival of the famous Khurana Dhabha.

Huma also played the role of Zoya in the widely awaited thriller D Day. The movie, however, failed to live up to the hype created and flopped at the box office. Huma's next outing was in the widely popular and successful sequel - Dedh Ishqiya in 2014. The movie also featured Madhuri Dixit, Naseeruddin Shah and Arshad Warsi. The movie was a super success and Huma won a Stardust Award in the Breakthrough Supporting Performance Female category.
