Even though I wanted to do acting and wanted to change my base from dd to Mumbai, convincing my parents was a task. It is my brother who told my parents that they should support me to achieve my dream of becoming an actress."

Owing to her strong bond with her siblings, Sadia found the script of Raksha Bandhan very relatable.

She said that the film is a family drama, but centered around sibling love hence, it is so unique. Also, it addresses the social issue and gives a solution that is very thought-provoking.

She concluded by saying, "So for me, not only as an actress but also as an audience, it is a special film."
