Adah Sharma's take on nepotism: If I came from a film family, they wouldn't let me debut with a horror film
Adah Sharma
While there is so much talk about the perks of being from a film family,
Adah Sharma
has her own take on it. 'Had I belonged to a film family, they would have waited for that perfect film to launch me,' she says, and adds with a laugh, 'My film family wouldn't let me do a horror movie.
Who starts their career looking possessed on screen with black teeth? I didn't have the opportunity to start my career with a usual romantic movie that probably would have happened if I had the DNA of a famous person. I started with 1920 and I feel fortunate for that. The audience has accepted me whenever I try something crazy and maybe that's why filmmakers also have the guts to cast me in different roles.'
Adah is now gearing up to portray a devi in her upcoming project. For her, the key to success lies in making every character believable and distinct. She did action in the Commando franchise and then was seen in The Kerala Story. 'While watching The Kerala Story, people didn't say, 'Oh, she knows how to do action, why isn't she beating the goons?' People also appreciated me as the bar dancer, Rosie, in Sunflower Season 2, and as an IPS officer in Bastar: The Naxal Story.
I'm lucky that my career has unfolded the way it has.'

AP DCM Pawan Kalyan inaugurates celebrity hairstylist Ram Koniki'snew salon in Vijayawada
Renowned Tollywood celebrity hairstylist Ram Koniki, a trusted name in the Telugu film industry, unveiled the Vijayawada branch of his premium grooming studio, Salon Koniki, on Sunday. The event saw the gracious presence of Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister and popular actor Pawan Kalyan, who formally inaugurated the salon. Ram Koniki, who is widely respected for his styling finesse, is known to work with more than 25 leading actors and artists in Tollywood. Among his elite clientele, Pawan Kalyan holds a special place—not just as a long-time patron, but also as a personal friend and mentor figure. Their bond is often described as more than professional, with many from the film industry referring to Ram as 'the Hanuman who always stands by his Ram,' symbolizing loyalty and unwavering support. The new studio, located on MG Road in Vijayawada, marks Ram's continued expansion in the grooming and styling space. His first branch in Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad, was also inaugurated by Pawan Kalyan, making the Vijayawada launch a continuation of their shared journey. Interestingly, Ram had invited Pawan to launch the salon well before the latter assumed office as Deputy CM. Honoring that invitation and their deep-rooted bond, Ram waited for Pawan's availability before officially opening the doors to the public. With this new outlet, Salon Koniki aims to offer high-end, celebrity-grade grooming experiences to the people of Vijayawada, combining elegance, expertise, and a legacy of trust built over the years in Tollywood.

Meri soch nahi, tumhari soch saamne aayi hai (These weren't my thoughts — your interpretation exposed yours),' he explained.
