After her debut in 2008 with the horror flick 1920, Adah Sharma was mostly seen in small roles in films. It wasn’t until last year that she was put on the showbiz map with the controversial hit, The Kerala Story.
Hot on the heels of that success, she reunited with the same team and was cast as the lead in Bastar: The Naxal Story, solidifying her position as a leading actor. But the film couldn’t spin the same magic.
“I have not got so many compliments for any of my characters as much as I’ve got for Bastar,” “Some films do well, some don’t. As an actor, you can just do your job well.”
How much did life change after The Kerala Story?
After The Kerala Story, it feels like I’m living someone else’s life. It feels wow! Professionally, yes, a lot of different scripts are coming my way. There’s a flow of different roles, and people trust me with headlining new stuff. Personally, my life is exactly the same. I don’t want it to change for anything.
Bastar failed to generate buzz at the box office.
I have not got so many compliments for any of my characters as much as I’ve got for Bastar. Some films do well, some don’t. As an actor, you can just do your job well. Sunflower 2 released on OTT. The Kerala Story re-released on OTT finally. I hope Bastar gets a release on OTT sooner than The Kerala Story took to release. I pray that it can come on OTT without being censored.
Do you feel people expect the same level of success from you after The Kerala Story’s big numbers? Is it tricky to make sane choices with that pressure?

The Best Places to Travel in September
September is the unsung hero of travel months: The busiest vacation season has come and gone, places are less crowded because kids are back in school, and as a result, prices on airfare, accommodations, and even attractions have dropped.
