Actor Ria Shukla, who is marking her debut in the Hindi industry with the upcoming film "Nil Battey Sannata", says her "biggest dream" is to share screen space with megastar Amitabh Bachchan.
"My all time favourite is Amitabh Bachchan sir. I have heard his songs like 'Khaike paan banaras wala' and others since childhood. So I would like to share screen space once with him. This is my biggest dream," Ria told IANS.
The 16-year-old feels that she is a step closer to making her dream come true as she is now part of the industry.
"Since now I am in this line, I think I am little closer to my dream. I would love to act with all the actors in the industry," she added.
Ria says she would like to do more films if she gets the opportunity, but she wants to focus on her education as well.
"I have to focus on my studies as well. Till graduation, right now, I have to focus on studies. But I would like to take up acting forward for sure," Ria said.
"Nil Battey Sannata", a family entertainer directed by Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari, also features Ratna Pathak Shah.
It will open in theaters on April 22.
