Books are man's best friend and talented actor Sadiya Siddiqui
who stars in ‘Saath Phere’ and ‘Saathi Re’ goes to prove this adage. So
strong is her obsession with reading
that she claims to carry a book with her wherever she goes and tries to
make time on the sets for reading.
"I read books of genres encompassing mysteries, psychology, health,
anatomy, history, philosophy and religion. But I can't stand mushy
romance like Mills and Boons, not
that I'm against it, but I like mature love stories," says Sadiya.
Sadiya is intrigued with the way a human mind functions and that was the
reason behind her choosing to do her masters in psychology and not
literature. She likes to read
books based on the human psyche. Her best books have been "I never
promised you a Rose Garden" by Joanne Greenberg, "100 years of solitude”
by Gabriel Marquis, and
she has also read most of the Urdu classics.
Sadiya's encounter with reading started when she was a school girl. It
all began with her love for comics like Superman and Batman and
gradually moving onto murder
mysteries and detective stories. Sadiya was such a voracious reader that
she would read an entire novel in a day.
Sadiya is an ace scuba diver, she is looking forward to link her diving
passion to her reading by penning short stories relating to ocean
pollution and its background would be
a love story between two scuba divers.
"I'm very enthusiastic reader but due to my busy schedule I'm hard
pressed for time and writing the short stories is also in the pipe line
but looking at my work load it'll take a
considerable amount of time.
I squeeze in time between shoots to
read but I can't fully concentrate on it and so I read only thin books
now which I can possibly
complete in a day or two," chirps Sadiya.
