According to the reports in the past there have been many stories around Huma Qureshi and Sohail Khan's alleged afiar. Huma also tweeted that Sohail is just like her brother. Now in a recent interview with Hindustan Times when asked about her link up with Sohail she said, "What really hurts is that without knowing the truth about my life, they (media) go ahead and put these stories. And I’ll tell you why they do it; they do it because they want to take away all the attention from my hard work. They want to show that whatever I have achieved in my life is because of my closeness to a particular man, who may be coming from an influential family or is influential himself. That is disrespectful…  It’s easy for people to say that she is doing well because she is close to someone. That is demeaning. I don’t see that happening to any of the industry kids, to be very honest."
