'THE WHOLE NATION IS ROOTING FOR ME’

Playing Shalini Unnikrishnan has physically and emotionally scarred me.’

‘Scars to the depths of my soul. Scars that won’t be healed in a lifetime.’

Adah Sharma, who turns a year older today, May 11, couldn’t have hoped for a better birthday.

Her The Kerala Story has acquired blockbuster status and the actress is in a celebratory mood.

The Kerala Story is well on the way to becoming a huge success.

In spite of not belonging to a film family the love I’ve received from one and all is unprecedented. The whole nation is rooting for me.

I’m humbled and numb. The dreams I had for myself have been so tiny. These are all the dreams that my loved ones have for me that are coming true.

You, Director Sudipto Sen and Producer Vipul Shah had to combat aggressive opposition to the film’s release. How did you cope?

The awareness that the film has created will save the lives of so many girls. The support we have received is huge. I feel grateful.

Did you have any reservations on accepting such a controversial subject?

From the start, the first day I narrated this story, to me reading it and the process of shooting the film were always about a naive girl who gets embroiled in the ISIS nexus.

Terrorism is dangerous. But someone had to tell this story.

How deeply were you scarred by playing the character?

Playing Shalini Unnikrishnan has physically and emotionally scarred me. Scars to the depths of my soul. Scars that won’t be healed in a lifetime.
