Adah Sharma on The Kerala Story
Speaking at the event, she opened up about her popular film, The Kerala Story and if its massive success has changed her in any way. She said, “As an individual, I don’t think I have changed a lot. When you experience itna utar chadav, at a certain point in time, you either become bitter or you become very positive. I can relate to the latter.”
She continued, “It’s a movie that proved you don’t need a marketing team if the audience becomes your marketing team themselves. It was like every person was on my side; everyone was rooting for me. It was no nice that I hope every girl must get a chance to experience what I did with this.”
