Making her way into Bollywood with a successful horror movie “1920” back in 2008 when she was barely out of school, Adah Sharma (now 26) has sure won hearts with her charm and youthfulness. Here is a candid dialogue where she shares her experience of working in Bollywood, Telugu films and much more.
What is a day in the life of Adah Sharma like?
It's different day everyday, depending on where I am. Wheather it's a shoot day or not, I am staying at a hotel or home, what remains constant is that I wake up with an alarm. I am a light sleeper and as soon as my alarm rings I jump out of bed, brush my teeth, wash my face and drink water. If it's a cold place then I do 10 handstands and a few back bends just to loosen up and then I begin to think of food!
In the initial stages of your career you were rejected a several times because of your curly hair, how did you feel and how did you cope up?
Not just because of curly hair...but I was rejected for strange reasons, like curly hair which can be straightened out in half in an hour! But then I used to see who got the role and wonder what ! Why?! But there are so many things that have to fall in place for someone to be cast in a film. I got rejected for looking too Indian, not looking Indian in the span of the same week! I felt miserable as being rejected is never fun. But I am not someone to dwell in sadness. I move on quickly. It takes me a day sometimes.
You made your Hindi film debut with 1920, how has life changed after it?
I am very fortunate to have started with a movie like 1920 where I got to show the world that I am an able performer, also people saw that I was uninhibited in doing crazy stuff, for me quality is very important and I am happy that I have movies in my filmography that I am proud of 1920, Commando 2, Heartattack, Hasee toh phasee, Rana Vikrama, Kshanam and many more to be added!
