Adah Sharma Remembers Debut With Puneeth Rajkumar In Kannada Film

In an Instagram post that has since resonated with many of her followers, Adah Sharma recounted her debut in a Kannada film opposite the acclaimed Puneeth Rajkumar. She opened her post by recalling the chaos outside Bangalore airport—banners, hoardings, and ads everywhere, all celebrating the superstar. The image she shared captures a candid moment from that whirlwind day, offering a glimpse into the real hustle of film-making.

Sharma describes how thousands of admirers would gather outside the set from the night before, all eager to catch a glimpse of the star. She goes on to tell that despite being on the receiving end of a star’s overwhelming fame, Puneeth Rajkumar was exceptionally kind.

Puneeth went out of his way to ensure that every interaction on set was meaningful. He engaged with everyone, making sure that even new faces had an opportunity to participate actively. He took the time to translate conversations for her. This gesture underscored a deep sense of courtesy and underscored his commitment to making others feel integrated and valued.

Her post further explains how the superstar’s timely humor and punctuality helped ease the nerves typical for a debut. In an environment that could easily have been overwhelming for an emerging actor, Puneeth Rajkumar’s friendly demeanor and clear communication about set directions transformed the mood into one of camaraderie and learning. The film set was warm despite challenges such as the intense 45-degree heat. Instead of succumbing to the pressures that accompany grand film sets, Puneeth maintained a jovial atmosphere.

With repeated mentions of how fortunate she felt for the opportunity, the post transports readers to a day when every interaction on set was layered with mentorship and warmth. In her own words, the superstar “met all his fans personally” and always ensured that everyone present, including newcomers like herself, had a role in the dynamic conversations that set the rhythm for the day.

In her detailed post, Adah Sharma also extends her gratitude to director Pawan Wadeyar, who helmed her first film, Rana Vikrama. The experience, as narrated by Adah, is a reminder of what can be achieved when professionalism meets kindness. Despite the demands of a high-pressure film set, the sustained effort to maintain a congenial atmosphere is a lesson that she has clearly taken to heart.

In revisiting the day of her film industry debut, Adah Sharma honors a cherished memory and sets a standard for what it means to be a professional both on and off the screen.
