There might be some polarising reviews to The Kerala Story but one thing that's unanimous all across in Adah Sharma's acting. While there are sections hailing and one slamming the film, what remains constant is the praise Adah is garnering for her acting chops in the triggering movie. The Commando actress recently revealed that to give authenticity to her character, she didn't drink water for 40 hours.

She also revealed that while there was a cushion for them to fall onto in one of the scenes, she refused to use it and got injured. "Sunkissed ,After and Before from #TheKeralaStory Secret to chapped cracked lips like these ... dehydrate for 40 hours in minus 16 degrees #sunkissedmakeup #adahsharma @makeupbyshyam," she wrote.
