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.'

'Scream night': Climate activists repeatedly disrupt DNC leadership meeting
Environmental groups appear to be breaking with the Democratic Party after protesters disrupted a recent leadership meeting, which comes as the party attempts to regain its footing after suffering defeat in the 2024 presidential election. The Democratic National Committee (DNC) held a candidate forum on Thursday evening in Washington, D.C., ahead of their upcoming election to determine who will lead the campaign arm into the next election cycle. While the event was intended to showcase some of the party's potential new faces, it was interrupted by several protesters, including climate activists from the Sunrise Movement, a youth-led, left-wing climate action organization, who demanded the DNC establish a working election strategy for the party after the 2024 loss. "What will you do to get fossil fuel money out of Democratic politics? We are facing a climate emergency!" Fox News Digital heard one protester shout. After Stinging Election Defeats, Dnc Eyes Rural Voters As Key To 2026 Midterm Success Other protesters made calls for the DNC chair candidates to bring back the party's ban on corporate PAC and lobbyist donations.
