Adah Sharma Instagram – “I debuted 100 years ago in the horror film ‘1920’, and here we are 100 years later in 2023. Sometimes the most unlikely things happen to re-align your life & that happened to me with The Kerala Story! It was during high school I discovered my love for acting & I found my way to establish a career in it. For me, it wasn’t a lucky chance of a director spotting me in a coffee shop. I had to find my way out of the maze. I belong to an orthodox Keralite family, so my parents were initially not confident, but with my debut & dedication, everything seemed to fall into place. My Amma & patti are my greatest support now! After numerous auditions, 1920 became my debut film from where people started recognising me in the throbbing city of Bombay & being in front of the camera comforted me! When I first faced the camera, it clicked to me that my passion is not limited to just dancing, I love being in front of the camera too. And that’s how it all began! My amma is a classical dancer, and I learned Kathak throughout my childhood & even got a degree. Singing, gymnastics, and acting are things very close to my heart! It wasn’t easy even after getting the first movie, and I kept working. I did many Telugu and Hindi films before appearing in the film that has now garnered attention from across the country- The Kerala Story! I feel like I’ve waited a hundred years to get this role, and I am so grateful. Looking at the blockbuster response from the audience for Kerala Story, I hope it gives hope to so many other female-led stories where women have a strong voice. I hope there are more such stories and we don’t discriminate based on gender. I’ve always believed in women supporting other women. That’s how we can grow in society and this industry. So not just for me, I would want every other girl to have a strong character that she can take to the next level and which helps her grow! With a heart full of gratitude for all the love showered upon me, my attitude of never giving up makes me alive & discover things I love & I’m thankful every single day!” #SheThePeople #adahkiadah #thekeralastory
