The 27-year-old actress and Madhuri are the new addition to the Abhishek Chaubey directed sequel to 2010 'Ishqiya'.
The film will see Naseeruddin Shah and Arshad Warsi reprising their roles of Khalujaan and Babban from the original film.
Huma says right from the time she signed the film till finishing it, she was aware of her part and the makers never let her feel like a second lead in the movie.
"Even on the set, I had a great team, a great director, who never once made me feel that there is some sort of disparity or I am the second lead," Huma told PTI in an interview on the sidelines of IFFI.

Huma made her acting debut with director Anurag Kashyap's magnum opus 'Gangs of Wasseypur' last year. She followed it up with other multi-starrers like 'Luv Shuv Tey Chicken Khurana', 'Ek Thi Daayan' and 'D-Day'.
