Huma Qureshi's message for her rumoured fiance
To mark his big-screen debut, Huma took to Instagram to express her pride and affection. Sharing a still of Rachit from Thamma, she wrote, “For a boy from Banaras who came to Mumbai with nothing and knowing no one… So proud of you and this journey you have been on. Toiled for 10 years as an acting coach…learning, teaching, unlearning and building a community around you.”
Her message continued, “And today is the first time you will be seen on the big screen in Thamma. One of the biggest films of the year. Just a testament to your hard work and resilience… This is just the first blood. Much more to follow. Higher and higher always.”
The touching post quickly gained traction, with several friends, co-stars, and fans flooding social media to congratulate the debutant. Rachit, in turn, reshared many of the messages on his own Instagram Story.
Thamma earned ₹25.11 crore net on day 1 and ₹19.23 crore on day two, bringing the two-day total to ₹44.34 crore.
