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.'

Kapkapiii Movie Review : Killer comedy meets Chilling Fun!
Director: Sangeeth Sivan Writers: Kumar Priyadarshi & Saurabh Anand Cast: Tusshar Kapoor, Shreyas Talpade, Siddhi Idnani, Jay Thakkar, Sonia Rathee, Abhishek Kumar, Varun Pandey, Dherendra Tiwari, Manmeet Kaur Duration: 138 mins Rating – 4 Audiences go to the theatres to have a good time and to get entertained. In a stressful environment today, everyone wants to forget their stress and worries for a while. Well, this weekend, the film Kapkapiii is here to do that job. It is a perfect combination of killer comedy meeting chilling fun. The film will definitely leave you laughing and make you feel refreshed. The story revolves around six broke, jobless friends who are living together in a rented house. They have no aim in life and have no idea what they are doing with it. One day, out of boredom they decide to contact a ghost using their jugaadu Ouija board — made from a carrom board! Their life turns upside down when a real ghost named Anamika actually shows up and turns their house into a haunted drama zone. There are flying glasses, creepy voices, and ghosts answering questions that no one else should know. To top it all, comes another character Kabir (Tusshar Kapoor) who adds up to this non-stop madness. The performances by the cast makes the film so interesting. Shreyas Talpade as Manu is hilarious. He is the fake leader of this gang and he has nailed this role. Tusshar Kapoor steals the show with his expressions and comic timing. Every time he appears, the screen lights up. The rest of the characters like Nanku, Nirup, Rivin , every character have their own flavour which adds to the overall entertainment quotient of the film. Nanku, the tea-seller with a philosopher vibe, and Nirup, the overqualified-but-jobless guy are super fun. The upstairs girls Siddhi Idnani and Sonia Rathee are not just mere side characters or love interests. They bring their own energy to the film. Especially Siddhi who shows great range compared to her emotional role in The Kerala Story. Sangeeth Sivan, known for madcap comedies like Kya Kool Hai Hum and Yamla Pagla Deewana 2, has managed to bring the same crazy, energetic vibe to Kapkapiii. This time he mixes the right amount of horror to it. It's more like the kind of haunted house you would like to visit. Sadly, this was his final film. Writers Kumar Priyadarshi and Saurabh Anand have nailed the tone of the film . The dialogues are the soul of the film and they are real, quick, and genuinely humor in the film does not feel forced at all. Unlike typical horror-comedies that show ghosts in white sarees , Kapkapiii takes a modern approach. Here the ghost is not just a scary figure- she herself becomes a part of the gang's drama. Kapkapiii gives you fun, laughter and a little thrill which is exactly what is expected from a good weekend movie. If you have ever shared a flat with your friends, have been broke with them, or done something stupid out of boredom, this movie is for you! Director Sangeeth Sivan gives us a lovely final film !

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. She shared that her grandmother told her that she will also contribute to the house. 'She said, since I'm living there too, I should contribute to the rent. 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."
