Pretty actress Sadiya Siddiqui (Satrangi Sasural, Zee TV), always played a supporting actress or a protagonist, has ruled the hearts of the audience over the years. While most of the television actors step into the career with theatres, television shows and movies; the case with Sadiya is simply opposite.

She is one of those few actors who started her early career with a film, later television shows and then went on to do theatre.

In talks with TellyBuzz, Sadiya said, "I started off with the movie Kabhi Ha Kabhi Na while I was in school. I bagged Banegi Apni Baat show too during my schooling days. Eventually, I started with television shows and took up roles that came my way. Later, when I felt there is nothing new is happening on television, I turned towards theatre. I have done several English and Hindi theatres. I have graduated from Mithibai College and like known to all, Mithibai's drama group is extremely famous. Shefali Shah just graduated a year before me and she had already a known name. This even more inspired and motivated me. I have tried my hands on several genres be it serious or comedy. I am experimental and I have done it all. In fact my ongoing play - 2 to Tango and 3 to Jive is about a journey of a wanna be actor from Delhi. I am glad I have experienced every possible medium in acting."

TellyBuzz wishes Sadiya good luck for all her future endeavours!
