Actress Adah Sharma paid a heartfelt tribute to her late grandmother — affectionately known as 'Paati' — on her first birth anniversary since her passing, sharing an emotional montage and a touching story about ₹15 sarees that found their way into one of her music videos. The post, shared on 31 July, drew an outpouring of affection from fans who had followed the actress's beloved 'Party With Paati' series on social media.

The Story Behind the ₹15 Sarees

In the video shared by Adah, Paati fondly recalled how one of her former students had gifted her two sarees from Dubai decades ago, each costing just ₹15. The memory clearly held deep sentimental value — so much so that Adah later wore those very sarees while filming one of her music videos, quietly honouring her grandmother's legacy on screen.

Adah's Emotional Birthday Message

Alongside the montage, Adah wrote: 'Happy birthday Paati First birthday party without Paati on earth. I hope she's eating chocolate wherever she is. Paati has the best seat in the universe now and she's watching all her students who are making excuses to not study. I'd quickly do my homework if I were you.'

The note, characteristic of Adah's warm and candid voice, blended grief with humour — a reflection of the bond the two shared. Notably, Paati was not just a family figure but a recurring presence in Adah's public life, featuring regularly in the actress's popular social media videos.

Who Was Paati

Adah's grandmother passed away on 23 November 2025 after battling ulcerative colitis and diverticulitis. She had been one of the most significant influences in the actress's life, and the 'Party With Paati' video series — in which the two appeared together — earned a devoted following of its own, distinct from Adah's film fanbase.

Adah's social media presence is notable for its range: fluency in Marathi, recitations of Marathi poetry, dance performances, and a quirky humour that has built her a loyal audience beyond mainstream Bollywood circles.

Adah Sharma's Film Career and What's Next

On the professional front, Adah is recognised for a diverse filmography spanning horror, action, and social drama — including 1920, Hasee Toh Phasee, Commando 2, Commando 3, The Kerala Story, Bastar: The Naxal Story, and Tumko Meri Kasam. She is next set to appear in the crime thriller Haatak, which will mark her latest foray into the genre.

As Adah steps into a new chapter professionally, the anniversary tribute is a reminder that some of her most resonant moments have come not from the big screen but from the unscripted warmth she has shared with her grandmother.
