When Adah Sharma REACTED to reports of her buying Sushant Singh Rajput's residence
Adah Sharma has been residing in the late actor Sushant Singh Rajput's former residence. When the news initially broke out last year, the public as well as fans of the late actor heavily judged the actress for moving into Sushant's home and purchasing it. The actress, however, dealt with the trolls like a pro and smartly handled the situation, all the while leaving no space for any rumours. Adah Sharma clarified rumours of her purchasing Sushant's former residence first As the news came out that Adah was residing in Sushant Singh Rajput's former place of residence, people rallied against the actress and her actions. Many rumours had spread that the actress had purchased the residence. Adah, however, did not back down from the rumours and provided public clarification about how she was only renting the place and hadn't made any move towards buying the place. She held a press conference in August last year; the 'Kerala Story' star provided clarification in the matter and established how the house did not belong to her and instead was her and her mother's as well as her grandmother's place of residence for the time being. She shared in her statement that "The house I've rented is not mine. The Rs 300 crore from 'The Kerala Story' is not mine, so I'm living on rent. It's not just me contributing to the rent; my grandmother also helps with it.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với sàn môi giới tin cậy IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo She also revealed that her grandmother also contributes to the rent of the place.

My mother, who is not working, does not contribute financially but cooks' food,' Adah shared. Not only that, but the actress also slammed any rumours of her ownership regarding Sushant's former place. She shared that 'Actually, the house doesn't belong to me; it belongs to Mr Lalwani, who I think is currently in South Africa. I believe Sushant also lived there on rent; it wasn't his property either, but the house belongs to Mr Lalwani.' Adah Sharma talks about dealing with criticism In a later interview with India Today, she also talked about dealing with the continuous criticism, showing how thick-skinned and strong-minded she is. She shared that 'As an actor, or even as a person, you cannot react to everything that's been said. We all have a lot of things to do in life. Also, this is a free country, and everyone has the right to have an opinion. If they feel about something, they should... and continue to do so. " She also shared her experience living in the house and stated that she really loved the place. In her statement she shared that "I am not here to tell anyone 'I am a good person' or give them reasons for my actions. I did what I had to do, and I know myself. And just like I don't want anyone to change for me, I would also not change myself. I am really all settled in the house, and I really love the place."
