Months back Adah Sharma posted her picture on social media handle and the caption read: “Speaking of nepotism… have u met my half Russian sister Adahdinova Pertovski… she can’t act or speak Hindi.”

When asked whether she has ever lost a role to a star kid or faced any other discrimination for not being from a family of a filmstar, Adah said that it’s all to do with destiny. “I’m a believer in the fact that if something is meant to be, it will happen. And if I’m meant to get something, I will — and nothing can come in the way,” she said during an interaction with Hindustan Times.
When asked whether the picture she posted was a dig at nepotism, to which she said, “I’ve often been asked about my take on nepotism? I feel the word is being celebrated enough and I don’t have much to add to it. Through this post on social media, I was just cracking a joke about it and making light of a situation that I can do absolutely nothing about.”
“I poke fun at myself and stuff around. As for my half Russian sister, I’m sure she’ll be flooded with movies soon.”
The actor later added that though she’s “not a calculative person”, she’s also not “foolish enough to be listing out names”. “So, I’ll be diplomatic for now and say, ‘Nepotism? Woh kya hota hai?’” she laughs, telling enough.
