Adah

Sharma, an active advocate for animal rights, has been working towards a sustainable lifestyle. At the Times Now Sustainability Conclave 2026, the actress discussed how her personal ideologies do not clash with any character’s thought process. Sharma, named PETA India’s 2024 Person of the Year, is a vegetarian and still played a possessed character in the 1920 movie, where she was shown to consume a dead cat. Explaining the imaginary line between reel and real, the actress mentioned that she only stands for being the best actor and delivering a convincing performance that the audience remembers.

Adah Sharma on roles that don't match her ideologies

In conversation with Heena Gambhir, Anchor and News Editor, Times Now, Adah said, “I stand for being the best actor I can be in that role. I stand for doing that role so well that when the audience watches, they can say sirf yeh hi kar sakti thi. That is what I strive for. Sometimes it will not align with what I stand for. I started my career with a horror film in which I eat the meat of a cat. I am vegetarian.”

When asked whether the cat-eating scene was difficult to perform, Adah shared, “I am an actress. I believe I am acting and I do it. Sometimes it is more difficult being yourself than being a character. Not always do I believe in what the characters do.”
