Actor Adah Sharma, who was recently seen in the controversial film The Kerala Story, shared pictures of herself from the set of the film, featuring her bruised face, elbows, and knees. She revealed that the film was shot in extremely cold weather. Adah also shared that her cracked lips were a result of being dehydrated for 40 hours during the shoot.
Taking to her Instagram account, Adah shared multiple pictures of herself and wrote, “Sunkissed, After and Before from #TheKeralaStory. Secret to chapped cracked lips like these … dehydrate for 40 hours in minus 16 degrees. #sunkissedmakeup #adahsharma @makeupbyshyam. P.S. the mattress was kept to practice the fall… but we didn’t use it #bruisedknees and chila hua elbows but ufff all so worth it. the last pic is a handful of coconut oil in the hair, safety pins and tight plaits.”
The actor shared that during a crucial scene in the film, where her character escapes from ISIS, she had to fall on the ground. Though a mattress was provided to her for practice, she didn’t use it.

The Kerala Story, directed by Sudipto Sen, received a mixed response from both the audience and critics. While some labelled it as propaganda, others praised the film for its realistic portrayal. The movie revolves around the lives of three women who are enticed into Islam and subsequently coerced into joining ISIS, a terrorist organisation.
Talking about the overwhelming response to the film, Adah had told Rediffmail, “I meet young girls who find The Kerala Story cool. I bump into young boys who have seen the film four-five times already and are rattling off the dialogues, outlining specific scenes. The Kerala Story is no longer just another film, it’s become a movement.”
