In the glittering world of Bollywood and OTT, true friendships are rare gems, and Rajkummar Rao and Huma Qureshi’s bond is one for the books. On November 9, 2025, Rajkummar took to Instagram to rave about Huma’s powerhouse turn in Maharani Season 4, calling her “killing it” and teasing his excitement for her upcoming role as the menacing Badi Didi in Delhi Crime Season 3. It’s not just praise – it’s a testament to their mutual respect, forged through years of shared screens and off-screen support. 👏
With Maharani 4 dropping on SonyLIV and Delhi Crime 3 hitting Netflix on November 13, Huma’s 2025 is a double whammy of drama and depth. Over 700 words ahead on Rajkummar’s glowing review, Huma’s roles, their friendship timeline, and why these shows are must-watches – let’s celebrate her reign! 📺
Rajkummar’s Heartfelt Praise: “You Are Killing It, Dost!”
“Maharani is already doing phenomenally well and now we have #DelhiCrime coming. @iamhumaq you are killing it with all the amazing work. So proud of you Dost. Upwards and Onwards.”
– Rajkummar Rao on Instagram, November 9, 2025
Rajkummar’s post, sharing the Maharani 4 trailer, was pure hype – a nod to Huma’s ability to command screens, from Bihar’s political jungles to Delhi’s crime alleys. Huma’s reply? “Thank you Raju… means so much my talented friend” – simple words, big feels. Their camaraderie shines through, a rare Bollywood bromance that’s all support, no shade. 🤝
In an industry of fleeting collabs, their bond – sparked on Dedh Ishqiya in 2014 – endures, proving friends who celebrate wins are the real MVPs.
Maharani Season 4: Huma’s Rani Bharti Takes on the Nation
Maharani 4 (streaming on SonyLIV since October 2025) sees Huma’s Rani Bharti evolve from Bihar CM to national firebrand, handing the state reins to daughter Roshni (Sarthak Samal) while gunning for PM against Vipin Sharma’s cunning rival. It’s a tale of power’s price – betrayal, ambition, and maternal grit – with Huma channeling Rani’s fire like never before.
Reviewers rave: “Huma’s Rani is a lioness in sarees – raw, relatable, riveting.” Her arc from rural warrior to Delhi warrior queen blends drama with depth, tackling women’s roles in politics. Cameos from Zoya Hussain and Sohum Shah add layers, but Huma’s the heart – her monologues on legacy hit hard. 👑
Rating: 4.5/5 – A binge-worthy finale to the saga, with twists that keep you guessing till the end.
Delhi Crime Season 3: Huma as Badi Didi – Villainy with Villainous Charm
Switching from queen to queenpin, Huma steps into Netflix’s Delhi Crime Season 3 (premiering November 13, 2025) as Badi Didi, the ruthless head of a human trafficking ring. The plot kicks off with an abandoned child discovery, pulling DCP Vartika Chaturvedi (Shefali Shah) into a gritty interstate probe. Huma’s Badi Didi is no cartoon baddie – she’s calculating, charismatic, with layers of backstory that make her terrifyingly human.
Huma on the role: “Badi Didi is Batman’s Joker – chaotic, compelling. She does horrible things, but you understand why.” Paired with Shefali’s unyielding Vartika, their cat-and-mouse is electric. New cast like Rasika Dugal and Adil Hussain amps the tension. 😈
Early buzz: “Huma’s villain arc is chilling – Delhi Crime’s darkest yet.” 8 episodes, binge-ready!
Raj-Huma Friendship: From Co-Stars to Career Cheerleaders
Rajkummar and Huma’s story started in 2014’s Dedh Ishqiya – he as the con man, she as the fiery Begum Para. Off-screen? Instant pals, bonding over chai and cinema. They’ve supported each other since: Raj at Huma’s Gangs of Wasseypur screenings, Huma hyping Stree. In 2025, Raj’s shoutout to her double whammy shows their ride-or-die vibe.
Raj on Huma: “She’s fearless – from comedy to crime, she owns it.” Huma reciprocates: “Raj’s my go-to for honest feedback – his energy’s infectious.” No envy, just elevation – a blueprint for Bollywood bonds. 👫
Their collab dream? A rom-com where they play besties-turned-lovers – fans, make it happen!
