Adaa Sharma has done well professionally in the last two years. With The Kerala Story, she delivered the highest-grossing Hindi film led by a woman, and followed it up with a strong performance in Bastar. In between she played a ‘bizarre seductress’ on Sunflower. Now, the actor is using his acting skills to play 10 different roles in his next show Rita Sanyal. In an exclusive conversation with Hindustan Times, Adah talks about the fun challenge, never being typecast and more.
Ada Sharma on Rita Sanyal
Anyone who follows her on social media knows that Ada is big on mimicry and accent. In Rita Sanyal, the actor gets a chance to use these skills as she plays a lawyer who works as a detective by adopting various disguises. “It’s like someone thought let’s let him legally misbehave on the show,” she says, laughing. “And I can’t tell you how much I as an actor or a person I feel lucky. I love doing accents, imitating people and I got a chance to do all that as 10 different people on the show.
Ada says that although she has tried her hand at accent in her other roles, this one was more important, “I used to try a little bit with each character, of course, in the films. I would try different accents. Am.” Be it Bhavana Reddy in Commando or Shalini in The Kerala Story, it’s this larger-than-life, super masala style.” (Also read: Adah Sharma enters Sushant Singh Rajput’s apartment: This place gives me positive energy,
Ask her how she doesn’t let the larger-than-life role slip away from her and she’s quick to say, “It’s fun, it’s funny, but it’s not artificial. I play every character with complete honesty, and I feel Honestly, sometimes it can be good to be over the top because the person you are playing is over the top, so you don’t have to think over the top. “I have to be over the top. I just believe that I am this person at that time, and I do it honestly.”
Rita Sanyal is a masala show which is a mix of comedy, suspense and action. Adah agrees that until recently the genre was dominated by male actors, but points out that there have been pioneering female actors who have broken the glass ceiling in the past as well. “Chaalbaaz (starring Sridevi) came out many years ago. Other films like Chandni or Sita Aur Geeta came out many years ago.”
She believes that strong female characters are essential for the long shelf life of films. “I still think any film does really well or is remembered very well, if the female characters are well-written or you can connect with. It may be a male-centric film, but if If the female characters are not strong, you will forget about it,” she says.
When people considered them foreigners
Adah calls herself lucky that she has never been typecast and has had the opportunity to work in different genres and play a variety of roles. In fact, he remembers being kept in a box right after his first film – 1920. “People thought I was an alien,” Adah recalls, laughing. “I was wearing blue lenses and I really looked the part.” Yellow. There was no sun there. We weren’t black at all in London. It was cold there, so I looked white with blue eyes, and people assumed I was a foreigner, and they thought I didn’t know Hindi.” Ada said this misconception persisted for the longest because she couldn’t explain it. “I’m someone who’s very bad at giving explanations. Also, there was no social media, I wasn’t on Instagram, so no one really knew.”
Rita Sanyal, Ada’s new show, is a ‘pulp investigative comedy’ that also stars Ankur Rathee and Rahul Dev. The show will premiere on October 14 on Disney+Hotstar.
