Dhaka, 10 December 2025 – Emerging from modest beginnings, young actress Sadiya Ayman has steadily carved out a career in the entertainment industry through sheer perseverance and dedication. Today, she relies on no one but herself, earning through her hard work and meticulously planning her own future. It is this sense of self-reliance and personal freedom that inspires her to describe herself, in her own words, as a ‘queen’.
Speaking to the press, Sadiya shared, “I consider myself a queen. Always. And it’s not just me—every young woman desires to feel like a queen. I am a self-dependent woman, and acting is my profession. I manage all my expenses with my own earnings—be it travelling, shopping, or leisure. That independence is why I call myself a queen. In society, every woman aspires to view herself in this light.”
Despite her demanding shooting schedule, Sadiya recently carved out some time to indulge in a personal getaway to Cox’s Bazar, which she affectionately named her ‘Queen Retreat’. She explained, “After long stretches of work, a break is absolutely necessary. Spending time on your own terms is a joy. Though friends often want to hang out, my schedule rarely permits it. I had long been planning this trip with my school friend Nazia Binte Ashraf, who is equally self-reliant and likes to make her own life decisions. Both of us see ourselves as queens, so we embarked on this ‘Queen Retreat’ together.”
She added, “Travelling independently feels wonderful. It is a special treat you give yourself. I hope society reduces gender-based discrimination and that women become self-reliant to achieve their dreams. Women too can be queens—that was the very spirit behind our tour’s name, ‘Queen Retreat’.”
This year, Sadiya has received widespread praise for her performances in the television dramas ‘Deri Kore Ashben’, ‘Khunji Toke’, ‘Megh Brishti Roddur’, and ‘Please Go’. However, her most talked-about work remains the film ‘Utsob’, which highlighted her acting prowess and distinctive style, solidifying her status as one of Bangladesh’s rising stars.
