  • When Adah Sharma and director Vikram Bhatt tried clicking photographs of a huge portrait of a lady hanging on one of the walls of the mansion they were shooting in for the film 1920, the picture always came out blurred, no matter what angle they took the picture from.
  • At the onset of her career, Adah faced many rejections from production houses and casting directors due to her curly hair, which made her ‘unsuitable’ for many ‘conventional’ roles.
