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.

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.

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.
