Ziya Siddique: Shabana Azmi was one of the main reasons I chose to do Amma.

The pretty actress Ziya Siddique, who is seen in Farhn P Zamma and Asif Shaikh's Ek Maa Jo Bani Lakho Ke liye Amma is quite excited to land her first TV show. The young actress, who has done a handful of films down South, says she jumped at the opportunity because of a very special reason. She reveals, " I liked the story as it was not a typical saas-bahu love story. But the biggest reason was the fact that I got to act alongside Shabana Ji!"

Ziya says she's had a great experience working with the cast, and although she is a private person, she's bonded well with her co-actors, "Yuvika is like my friend now. She's a sweet person and I like spending time with her if we are free on sets. With Sikandar, I hardly get to interact with him. We only get to see each other when we are doing scenes together, but he too is very sweet. And I'm a private person, I like to work secretly and I rarely share my work and life with others."

About working with Shabana Azmi, she says, " Shabana Ji is a fabulous actor and it's a pleasure to work with her."

With such a good break on TV, Ziya, who is looking ahead at a successful career in showbiz, says "I always believe in hard work. It is the key to success. I feel it's better to remain silent and let your work speak for you."

Well, we wish the talented young actress all the best for hey future!
