A trained martial artist, it comes as no surprise that Adah Sharma loves performing stunts in her films. The beautiful actor will be seen doing some high-octane action sequences in her upcoming film, ‘Commando 3’. In a conversation, she spoke about her bond with co-star and fellow martial arts enthusiast Vidyut Jammwal, how she used her martial arts training for self-defence and the kind of man she wants in her life.
Since childhood, I have been inclined towards dancing and physical training. I like anything that’s related to dance and gymnastics.
I feel that dance and action are similar, as both involve choreography. It is also about timing, discipline, focus and pushing your limits. I am trained in Kathak, where you do your chakkars and come back to the same spot. In action, too, you do your kicks and return to the same spot.
My inspiration has been my mother. Not only did she train me in Kathak, but also in Kalaripayattu and Mallakhamb.
For the film, “I worked on my Kalaripayattu skills. I undertook training in Silambam, which is an art form from Tamil Nadu. I also learnt to use nunchucks. I polished my sharpshooting skills, too, which I had trained in during ‘Commando 2’.
I play an encounter specialist, and so, I had to look like a pro. If you aren’t confident while holding a gun, it shows on the screen. I enjoy shooting as it feels like meditation. You take a deep breath, hold your breath and pull the trigger. You need to concentrate a lot during the process. In the film, I am also doing hand-to-hand combat”, Adah said. —Times of India
