Huma Qureshi is missing Eid celebrations at home as the actress has begun shooting the remake of 2013 Hollywood film "Oculus", which also stars her brother Saqib Saleem.
The brother-sister duo is working together in a Bollywood movie for the first time.
"Eid Mubarak. Missing everyone back home but first day of shoot for @Saqibsaleem and I... Small ways God lets us know he is watching and blessing," she posted on Twitter.
The yet-untitled movie, like the original, focuses on the story of a brother-sister, who get separated at a young age due to an antique mirror.
The film is being shot in London.
"Celebrating Eid in London... Went and prayed in South hall. It didn't feel like that I wasn't in India.. Thank you Allah !! Eid Mubarak world!! But I miss meri maa ke haath ka khaana!! (I miss food cooked by my mother)," Saqib wrote.
Huma, 28, was last seen in "Badlapur", while 27-year-old Saqib's on-screen previous outing was "Hawaa Hawaai".
