Another girl with stars in her eyes. But this one made it. Vikram Bhatt launched Adah Sharma in 1920. Then she got Hasee Toh Phasee. But it was with the Telugu debut in the tearjerker Heartattack, directed by Puri Jagannath, that she tasted stardom and became an overnight success in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.

Always a keen dancer, she learnt several dance forms including kathak, salsa, ballet and belly dancing. At a dance recital when in school, with Asha Parekh as the chief guest, Adah, too, wanted to be an actor. Seeing how good a dancer she was, the former’s manager advised her to do a ‘dance’ film. It is from there that her journey to filmdom started and she began to look at films as a career. Photo shoots, modelling assignments and numerous rejections later, she landed a role in Bhatt’s thriller after many rounds of auditioning. And now, she’s finally doing a full-fledged dance film opposite Prabhu Deva in Tamil.

Apart from dance, she’s an ace at martial arts; she had to train hard for Commando 2. “I cannot ensure your safety,” she quips when one mentions safety to her. “I’m rather adept, skilled at doing the needful when required. However, I only make love...not war:).” Additionally, she had to hone her communication skills to show attitude in the role she essayed. It seems a lot in a short span of time. But wait, there’s more, she adds: “I can fly when no one’s looking:) no one knows that yet (she winks).”
