Meet Adah Sharma – Bollywood's latest beauty

As an adolescent, Adah Sharma wanted to do too many things. She eventually found a profession where she could fulfill her dream.

That profession is acting – where she daubs the greasepaint and gets to play varied characters that she once dreamt of being, be it a housewife or a model or an architect or a vet.

Coming from a non-filmi background, it wasn’t easy for Adah to get her foot in the door to Bollywood. Her father is in merchant navy and her mother is a Yoga instructor. Adah did her schooling from a convent school and graduated in psychology from Mumbai University.

Though Adah had been getting film offers for quite some time, things did not fall in place until Vikram Bhatt’s 1920 in which she makes her Bollywood debut opposite Rajneesh Duggal .

Looking back, Adah sees her struggle from a philosophical perspective. She says she auditioned for various other projects but ‘1920’ turned out to be her first film because that is how it was destined to be.

The movie is a period horror flick in which Adah plays an Anglo-Indian girl married to a Hindu guy.

Adah says besides being a horror movie, ‘1920’ tells a touching tale of love.

Even as the film is slated to hit the theatres on September 12, Adah has already signed another film with Vikram Bhatt . But she isn’t willing to talk about it.

As of now, she has her fingers crossed for ‘1920’.
