May 14, 2023
Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], May 15 : 'The Kerala Story' is being well received by the audience and the lead actor, Adah Sharma, is getting showered with lots of appreciation. Talking about such a remarkable response, Sharma narrates how the audience always dreamt 'big' for her.
In an exclusive interview with ANI, the actor when questioned about the love of the audience said, "Every film I do I think that it will be my last. Because I don't know if I will get another chance or if someone would show faith in me again. But I think the audience's dreams for me were always bigger. Like they would always say that Adah should have been given this or that role...I think, all those dreams are now true. I am so lucky."
On being asked if the actor had expected the film's remarkable success, she said, "I'm not believing this because I didn't expect such a response, but 'Thank You' is all I can say."
"My dreams were always small like I wanted to play with an elephant or a dog of course. I wanted to do good roles, but never knew how many I will get," she added.
Taking a dig at nepotism, Sharma said, "I think I'm so fortunate. I never dreamt of something like this. I felt that this was not possible for a girl who doesn't belong to the industry to get so much love from the audience."
"I am really touched to see that so many people came and watched the movie. I think our dreams have come true. When we started making this film we had this thought that it to spread awareness among girls. I'm so glad that so many people are watching it now so they know what the actual story was about and what's happening which was kept hidden," Adah added.
The actor concluded by talking about her movie's warm welcome from the people. "As an actor, you always want that people see your work. I'm glad that I got such a chance. I used to wonder if I have to be reborn like Shah Rukh Khan in 'Om Shanti Om' to get such an opportunity in this life. But I got this and I'm really happy that people are watching the film and giving so much appreciation," she said.
The movie has entered the 100 crore club and got classified as a blockbuster at Box-office. 'The Kerala Story' was released on May 5, 2023.
