Adah Sharma (Biography) - Actress | Classical Dancer

Adah Sharma was born on 11 May 1992 into a Tamil family in Bombay (modern-day Mumbai). Her father served as a merchant marine captain, and her mother is a classical dancer. She had determined she wanted to be an actress when she was in school.

Sharma began dancing at the age of three and received her Kathak dance diploma from Mumbai’s Natraj Gopi Krishna Kathak Dance Academy. She had spent four months in the United States learning salsa, as well as jazz and ballet, and claimed to be “quite proficient” at belly dance.

Adah Sharma is an Indian film actress who is best known for her roles in Hindi and Telugu films. Sharma made her acting debut in the 2008 Hindi language horror thriller 1920, which was a box office hit. Her performance as a possessed lady in the film was critically acclaimed, earning her a nomination for a Filmfare Award for Best Female Debut. She stepped into the South Indian film industries after the release of her romantic comedy flick Hasee Toh Phasee (2014).

Three years later, she had her second release, Phhir, a horror film in which she worked with Vikram Bhatt, the film’s writer, and Rajneesh Duggal, her 1920 co-star. Phhir, on the other hand, was not as well received as 1920, opening to bad reviews and failing at the box office, with Sharma’s performance receiving mixed reviews.

In 2017, she starred alongside Vidyut Jamwal in Commando 2, a sequel to the 2013 film Commando: One Man Army, in which she plays the female lead role of an inspector. In terms of box office receipts, the film was a mediocre performer. In the MX PLAYER webseries Pati patni aur panga, she portrayed a transgender lady in 2020.
