Adah Sharma made her debut with the supernatural hit 1920, so scares and spooks are hardly new to her. This Halloween, the actor opens up about costumes, candy, chaos, and her delightfully eccentric take on the festival of fright.

"Halloween and me go way back, more than sau saal ago, from 1920 to 2025," laughs Adah. "For me, it isn't a day, it's a lifestyle. Halloween is when the world finally catches up to my vibe. Scaring people is my cardio! It's also a great way to learn how to express fear as an actor. I use it as an excuse to scare people all year round," she grins, before adding a bizarre twist: "Once, I saw a mannequin in a mall turn his head and speak. He told me cockroaches will take over the world soon. No one believes me, but it’s true, I was freaked out!"
