Adah Sharma starred in The Kerala Story, the highest-grossing Hindi film led by a woman, and gave a strong performance in Bastar. She then went on to play a quirky character in Sunflower and is now taking on 10 different roles in her upcoming show, Reeta Sanyal. Ahead of the show, in an interview with Hindustan Times, Adah opened up on how people thought she was a foreigner during her film, 1920.
Adah Sharma feels lucky that she hasn’t been typecast and has gotten to try different genres and roles. She recalls being stereotyped only after her debut, a horror film titled 1920. She said, “People, thought that I was a foreigner. I was wearing the blue lenses, and I looked really pale. There was no sun. We were not tanned at all in London. There the cold, so I look white with blue eyes, and people believes that I’m a foreigner, and they thought I didn’t know Hindi.” Adah said the misunderstanding lasted a long time because she didn’t clear it up. “I’m someone who is very bad at clarifying. Also, there was no social media, I was not on Instagram, so no one really knew,” she added.
About her show Reeta Sanyal, Adah said, “It’s like somebody thought that let’s let her misbehave legally on the show. And I can’t tell you how lucky I feel as an actor or as a person. I love doing accents, mimicking people, and I got to do all of that on the show as different 10 different people.”
The show is directed by Abhirup Ghosh and written by Amit Khan. The show is set to premiere on October 14, 2024, on Disney+ Hotstar. The series follows Reeta Sanyal, a lawyer known for tackling complex legal cases, as she faces challenges in both the legal and criminal worlds.
Produced by Keylight Productions, the series will be available to stream for free on the Disney+ Hotstar mobile app, with episodes releasing Monday to Friday.
