Adah Sharma's grandmother passes away

Actress Adah Sharma is heartbroken over the loss of her beloved grandmother, affectionately known as “Paati,” who she often called the centre of her world.

Adha's Paati passed away early this morning around 5:30 a.m. after a long and painful battle with ulcerative colitis and diverticulitis, leaving a void that Adah says can never truly be filled.

Adah’s relationship with her grandmother was something truly special. Fans had long admired their close bond, often showcased through Adah’s cheerful Party with Paati videos — short, joyful glimpses of their life together that captured Paati’s wit and zest for life.

As per Zoom, a source close to the actress shared, “Adah shares a closer relationship with her grandmother than with anyone else. She resides with her grandmother, who has been hospitalised for the last month. Adah and her mother are planning a memorial service in their hometown in Kerala.”

For Adah — known for her powerful performances in films like The Kerala Story, 1920, and Commando 2 — her grandmother was her anchor.

In August, Adah had shared a heartwarming video from her grandmother’s birthday celebrations, showing her dancing happily with her friends.


“Celebrating my Naani’s sweet 16th birthday #PartyWithPaati Grateful to have been the cinematographer for my grandmother’s birthday celebration. Here are some highlights. Kocha teacher and her students,” she wrote, her affection radiating through every word.
