Asiya of Bandini prepares for her exams

The young and innocent Santo of Bandini (NDTV Imagine), played by Asiya, has garnered enormous praise from viewers. Within just four months, she has become a household name. And while shooting for the serial, the hardworking actress is also studying for her college exams.

"MY exams started on Tuesday," says Asiya, who is in Standard 11 and is doing Arts. She adds, "I carry my books to the sets and study during the breaks. My brother helps me with my lessons and the production people too are too very cooperative. I give about 4-5 hours a day to my studies."
Asiya's mother talks about her daughter's busy routine, saying, "Asiya shoots overnight and then, in the morning, she goes home and rests. When she wakes up, she studies for some time and then again in the evening, she is back to work."

Although Asiya is not able to attend her lectures at college regularly, she says that she does not find it difficult to cope with her studies. She says, "When I go to college, my friends help me by giving me their notes. They also clear my queries if I have any so there has never been any problem that way."

Since her show began, life has changed completely for the Bandini lead actress. She says, "It has changed to a great extent… pehle main sabki dost banana chaahti thi, aaj sab mujhe apna dost bananaa chahte hain." The actress doesn't even miss her friends. She adds, "I have discovered a beautiful family here on the sets. I am very close to my onscreen mother-in-law; we share a mother-daughter relationship."

Asiya is extremely happy and flattered by the responses she has received so far for Bandini. She says, "It has been wonderful till now. Even my relatives love my work. On the sets too, everyone praises me. They all help me acting wise. I am being pampered by everyone on the sets."

Talking about the concept of the show, Asiya says, "I've heard of many cases of child marriages and of girls getting married at a very young age. I feel that when certain things are in your fate, they will happen… the only thing you can do is have the courage to face such problems."

Bandini airs every Monday to Friday at 10pm on NDTV Imagine.
