Asiya Quazi known as Santo of Bandini is getting ready for her 12th standard, she has passed out her 11th standard with flying colours. Asiya told us how she plans to manage her shooting and studies for the year.
Asiya studies on the sets also." I shoot 10-12 hours everyday and by the time I finish it I feel exhausted. So when I get any off I need to take sleep. But between two shots and my break I try to study on the sets. I was always a ranker in my college I never missed it but this year I got only 65%, my production house supported me a lot."
The actress did not take an off during her exams also. "I would get up early and study in the morning then I would go for my exams and in the evening I shot for my show then I would come in the night and sleep then again in the morning I would get up early for studies, it was going hectic that time. After my exam I did get holidays and I got rest."
Talking about her subjects this year, she says:" I have Political Science, Psychology, Logic, Hindi, English and EVS(Environmental Studies). I have this habit that once I finish reading the entire syllabus I can remember everything. If I am in mood to study, I will close windows and the door to my room, I will ask my family not to disturb me and I finish my study in 4-5 hours and then I am ready to give my exam next day."
She further explains: "So it is just a matter of mood. Further, arts is more about learning thing than studying. I always believe in self study and therefore I do not go for private classes. I love political science and I always fair well in that. But I will surely need holidays for Economics and Logic. My friends too helped me a lot; they give me notes and tell me about important topics and everything. Further, I have chosen to take this career so I will have to concentrate on both things. I cannot irritate my production house too much."
Asiya is studying in Bhavans College and will appear for her 12th next year. Bandini is her first show on TV.
