Acting for siblings
Abha Sharma told Indian Express, I wanted to become an actor since childhood but my mother did not allow me to enter the film industry. She did not like this work. I did not want to go against her wishes. My family was educated but old-fashioned. After my mother’s death, I started acting again and this time I had to support my siblings. In 1979, Abha started teaching.
Teeth broke at the age of 35
Abha’s father worked in a telecom company. After his death, Abha took the responsibility of taking care of her family and never married.
