Adah Sharma, who was born on 14th May1987, is just getting her feet wet in Bollywood. The actress, who is 5'5' tall made her debut in a horror flick '1920' in the year 2008, which was directed by Vikram Bhatt. Adah is an adept dancer and she has been trained in Kathak at Gopi Krishna's Dance Academy her second release is Girish Dhamija's 'Phhir' slated to release in 2009. The actress has been a singer and dancer since the age of three and prefers yoga to a gym regime. Coming from a non filmi background, it wasn't easy for Adah to get her foot in the door to Bollywood. Her father is in merchant navy and her mother is a Yoga instructor. Adah did her schooling from a convent school and graduated in Psychology from Mumbai University. As a teenager, she wanted to do too many things. Having completed six years of Kathak from Gopi Krishna's Dance Academy, she is also a gymnast and loves to indulge in activities that inspire her. She eventually found a profession where she could fulfill her dream. When she is acting, she daubs the greasepaint and gets to play varied characters that she once dreamt of being, be it a housewife or a model or an architect or a vet. Though Adah had been getting film offers for quite some time, things did not fall in place until Vikram Bhatt's '1920' in which she makes her Bollywood debut opposite Rajneesh Duggal. Looking back, Adah sees her struggle from a philosophical perspective. She says she auditioned for various other projects but '1920' turned out to be her first film because that is how it was destined to be.
