The Kerala Story actress Adah Sharma in an interaction with a YouTuber revealed that her real name is too long. Adah Sharma's real name is Chamundeshwari Lakshmi Narasimhan Sundaresan Iyer. It is the name of a goddess and Adah's mother is a devotee of the goddess which is why her name is this. The mother of the actress feels that the actress is like Chamundeshwari.
The reason Adah Sharma changed her name is because people found it difficult to say. So she changed her name to Adah as it is shorter and sweeter.

About 'The Kerala Story'
In ‘The Kerala Story’, actress Adah Sharma plays the role of Fathima Ba, a Hindu Malayali nurse, who is among the 32,000 women who went missing from Kerala and were then recruited to the ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria) after being forced to convert to Islam. Also, the film highlights 'Love Jihad' propaganda, where Muslim men manipulate Hindu girls to convert to Islam and abandon their families.
Soon after the trailer of the film was released, a petition was filed against it on grounds of 'worst kind of hate speech' and 'audio-visual propaganda'. Many political leaders slammed the film and claimed that the makers are making false claims that it is a real story and that the number '32000 women' is fake.
