The actress even tries her best to create patterns representing the letters of her name while narrating, "Ye bahut mushkil hai (This is difficult)," and continues, "Oh, no yeh maine kya kiya. Sab mix ho gaya. Oh no. Toh main gol gol hi banayungi. Alu banati hu main. Alu aur matar ke daane (Oh no, what have I done. Everything got mixed up. Oh no. I will make it round. I will make potatoes and peas)," as she shakes her hand to squeeze drops from the cloth. The hilarious note atop this part of the video reads, "Kaun taste karega (Who will taste this)?" She adds, "Aise lambe lambe. Sab mix ho gaya, na? Mix ho gaya. Oh, maine waste kiya apka jalebi. (Long ones like this. Everything got mixed up, right? It got mixed up. Oh, I wasted your jalebi.) Sorry." Despite failing in her attempts, she remains cheerful while accepting, "And I will try one. Okay, jalebi banana bahut mushkil hai aur main sirf kha sakti hun (Making jalebi is very difficult, and I can only eat it). Thank you."

Exclusive: Adah Sharma Says The Kerala Story Changed Things For Her, Opens Up On Outsiders Making Big In Bollywood
Actress Adah Sharma hogged attention with the massive success of 'The Kerala Story' in 2023. She made her film debut in 2008 with supernatural outing '1920' by Vikram Bhatt. She has come a long way ever since her maiden venture in the showbiz world. The actress told Zee News Digital on how difficult is it for an outsider to make it big in Bollywood, films close to her heart and much more Q. How did the success of 'The Kerala Story' impact your career? The Kerala Story really changed things for me. It made a lot of filmmakers see me as someone who can carry a film as a solo lead — especially projects with strong female protagonists and big budgets. It gave people the confidence to trust me with stories that are bold, layered, and led by women. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Adah Sharma (@adah_ki_adah) Q. How difficult is it for an outsider to make it big in Bollywood today? As easy as climbing the Everest blindfolded on one leg . It's not impossible. Q. Which films of yours are closest to your heart? Each film I've ever done. But my debut 1920 because it was the first thing I ever did. I was advised against doing it because people told me you are starting with horror, you will look ugly in the film. No girl debuts with horror. But the audience immediately accepted me and because they did filmmakers had the guts to cast me in varied projects. The Kerala story ofcourse because of a plethora of reasons . I will have to write a whole thesis on why it is close to me. My Telugu debut Heart Attack , Reeta Sanyal, Bastar and Sunflower 2. Actually every project I've named and haven't ! Q. Any checklist of filmmakers you want to work with? I want to work with all of them. The question is who all want to work with me. A great role and bring part of a good story and script , working with good people is what I want to do. Q. What keeps you hooked to Instagram? Define hooked. It is very addictive. But when I am at work , on a movie set filming , I keep my phone on aeroplane mode. The major complain that I get from friends , family, industry is that I'm mostly unavailable on the phone. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Adah Sharma (@adah_ki_adah) Q. Tell us about your upcoming projects There's lots and lots happening. Action, romance, drama all of it and I'm most excited that each role is very different from the other.

Adah Sharma credits ‘multani mitti baths' to have helped get rid of cystic acne: ‘If you religiously do it..'
Adah Sharma recently opened up about her journey of tackling cystic acne. In conversation with The Brief India, the Hasee Toh Phasee star shared that she swore by multani mitti baths to get rid of stubborn cystic acne spread all across her body. Not just a face pack, she believes in bathing in it. 'You shouldn't just put it on the spot, put it everywhere, your face, hands and body' she said, adding that 'If you religiously do it, for a month, I have cleared such terrible cystic acne with it.' According to Dr Falguni Shah, Delhi-based dermatologist & cosmetologist, multani mitti, also known as Fuller's earth, has long been celebrated in Indian skincare routines for its oil-absorbing and pore-cleansing properties. 'As a natural clay, it works effectively on oily, thicker, and younger skin types — where the sebaceous (oil) glands tend to be more active. For such skin, using multani mitti once or twice a week as a mask can help absorb excess oil, unclog pores, and even prevent blackheads,' she said, adding that it can also be gently used as a scrub when mixed with ingredients like amba haldi (wild turmeric) and honey. This not only enhances its exfoliating effect but also helps brighten the skin and remove surface impurities. Dr Ameesha Mahajan, cosmetic dermatologist & founder, Eden Skin Clinic told that multani mitti is highly absorbent in nature and draws our excess sebum from the skin. Hence, individuals with oily and acne prone skin can benefit from it. 'It's calming nature helps to soothe redness and skin inflammation. Multani mitti detoxifies the skin by unclogging the skin pores and removing dirt and impurities,' she said, adding that it is a mild exfoliant and removes dead skin cells. Regularly using it on skin can even help in tightening the skin pores. 'While multani mitti can help manage oiliness, it's not a magic solution for cystic acne — which is a deeper, more inflammatory condition. For cystic acne, over-the-counter clay masks may provide temporary relief by drying out surface oil, but they won't treat the root cause,' said Dr Shah. In fact, she said that using multani mitti on dry, dehydrated, or mature skin can do more harm than good — it can strip essential moisture, leading to increased sensitivity, pigmentation, or even premature aging. For those with acne-prone skin, especially cystic acne, she suggested using multani mitti cautiously and always following it up with a non-comedogenic moisturiser. 'And for persistent, painful acne, it's best to consult a dermatologist for targeted treatment,' she said. Dr Mahajan mentioned some key points to keep in mind: 1. Drying Effect: It can strip natural oils, leading to dryness, flakiness, or even rebound oiliness. 2. Not for Sensitive Skin: Can irritate or worsen rosacea, eczema, or sensitive skin types. 3. Avoid Daily Use: 1–2 times/week is enough. 4. Always Patch Test: Especially if you have active cysts or inflamed skin. 5. Don't Let It Overdry: Remove while still slightly damp to prevent skin barrier damage. 6. Don't use it if you are already consuming some oral tablets to dry out acne as it will further disrupt the skin's defense barrier All in all, multani mitti has its place — but like all skincare, it's not one-size-fits-all. Know your skin type, use it sparingly, and don't skip the moisturiser! DISCLAIMER: This article is based on information from the public domain and/or the experts we spoke to.

Adah Sharma on diet, journey, and the most challenging thing she has done as an actor: ‘Used to practice playing a dead bird…'
Adah Sharma has been in the film industry for 17 years, but as she puts it, 'it feels like 105'. From her breakout role in 1920 to the blockbuster The Kerala Story, Adah Sharma has quietly carved a space for herself in an industry often accused of gatekeeping. In this candid interview, she talks about the long haul, criticism over controversial roles, her diet staples, what keeps her grounded (spoiler: millet dosas and squirrel sightings), and why she's not here to promote nepotism. Read the edited excerpts below: Adah Sharma: It feels like 105 years, honestly. From 1920 in 2008 to now in 2025. But all my bones are still intact! Adah Sharma: I didn't even know I was allowed to dream this big as an outsider. I definitely couldn't have imagined being where I am today. Adah Sharma: Traumatic, exhausting, and at the same time, very fulfilling. We had no idea it would become so big. Thanks to the audience. Even a year later, people come up to me and talk about specific scenes with so much emotion. It's nice to know we could transport them into the story. Their insights and understanding of scenes and my performance are so touching. Adah Sharma: I thought everyone would stand against terrorism, and rape, and support a film about girls being forced into it. I understand now why some people had a problem with it and called it a lie. A lot of people react in certain ways because of their political affiliations. For me, the film is about the plight of girls being forced to become suicide bombers. The backlash had started 10 days before the release. But once people watched the film, the love we received drowned out the disapproval from those who didn't even watch it. Adah Sharma: Not really. If criticism comes from people who haven't even watched the film and are just reacting politically, I don't take it seriously. I'm grateful I live in a country where women like me are free to act, travel, dress how we like, and where even my critics are allowed to openly make very personalised hate remarks against me publicly, and others are allowed to say they love the film. Freedom of thought and speech is very important for me. Our film did get banned, though, in Tamil Nadu and West Bengal. Adah Sharma: There are several projects where I feel I have gotten my due. My debut in 1920 – I believe it was the role of a lifetime! To get to do all those crazy things in my very first film. The Kerala Story, Bastar, Sunflower season 2, and my latest release, Reeta Sanyal, where I got to play 10 characters in one show. I think I'm very fortunate. In Telugu as well, from my debut Heart Attack, which I still get so much love for. That said, I also think nepotism is doing very well and doesn't need me to promote it. Adah Sharma: Being misquoted for clickbait headlines, and answering those 'what would you steal from someone's closet' and 'who would you like to be marooned on an island with?' questions. They give me severe anxiety. I start thinking, how long will we be on the island? What's the sleeping situation? Do we bathe in the ocean? What do we do for food? Am I responsible for the other humans' safety since I got them there? The list goes on. Adah Sharma: Just like the X-ray machine can see the bones, I can read people's minds. Very, very clearly. Adah Sharma: I used to practice playing a dead bird when we shot 1920. There is a scene where I eat a raccoon and then run and lie down like a dead bird. Birds, when they die, harden up. So I used to lie in contorted positions around the house, as still as I could, and hold my breath. A post shared by Adah Sharma (@adah_ki_adah) Adah Sharma: It's different every day. Rice is a staple, so are idlis and dosas. We make millet dosas when I'm home, so there's quinoa or raagi dosas. Also, seeds are a big part of my diet, especially when I travel. Pumpkin and sunflower seeds are high in protein and antioxidants. I've been a pure vegetarian since birth, and I don't eat onions. Adah Sharma: In Hinduism, Devi resides in every woman, so I think the film's presentation will please the viewers. Adah Sharma: I definitely use it out of will, and I think the randomness of my feed is proof. I like sharing random stuff from my life: a squirrel who comes to my house, a flower that grew in my garden, the BTS of how a shoot actually took place. I'm lucky the audience has embraced that. It feels natural and unforced. Shweta Sharma leads the lifestyle section at Over the years, she has written about culture, music, art, books, health, fashion, and food. She can be reached at ...

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.'
