Coming from a non-filmi background, it wasn’t easy for Adah to get her foot in the door to Bollywood. Her father is in merchant navy and her mother is a Yoga instructor. Adah did her schooling from a convent school and graduated in psychology from Mumbai University.

Though Adah had been getting film offers for quite some time, things did not fall in place until Vikram Bhatt’s '1920' in which she makes her Bollywood debut opposite Rajneesh Duggal. Looking back, Adah sees her struggle from a philosophical perspective. She says she auditioned for various other projects but ‘1920’ turned out to be her first film because that is how it was destined to be.
