9 years ago, I debuted opposite Kannada superstar Puneeth Rajkumar! From the Bangalore airport to the hotel, Puneeth's face adorned over 50 hoardings of major brands. Crowds gathered outside the set just to catch a glimpse of him.
I was nervous, and everyone kept saying how lucky I was. But my luck exceeded all expectations. Puneeth was kind, used his stardom to spread joy, met fans personally, was punctual, danced like a dream yet rehearsed diligently, remembered our conversations, and always included me.

Since I didn't speak Kannada, he translated things for me! He spoke lovingly about his wife and family and kept the set lively even in 45-degree heat.

Adah Sharma proudly stated that she hoped to emulate Puneeth's qualities if she ever reached his level of stardom, both on and off-screen.

There's so much more to say about you. Thank you, Puneeth Rajkumar, wherever you are, and thanks to director Pavan Wadeyar for the best Kannada debut in Ranavikrama, concluded Adah Sharma.
