She contrasted Badi Didi’s character to her own personal life, saying, “I have always been a big advocate. I believe we should teach children the difference between good touch and bad touch.” Huma also revealed that she used her experience in this field to make sure the children don’t get uncomfortable and get desensitised to touch. “It was very important for me to play this character.” Huma also revealed while talking about why she chose to take on the role of Badi Didi.
