Early life
[edit]Adam was born on 9 April 1989 in Malé, Maldives.[2] As a child, she had an interest in Bollywood films, and this sparked her desire to act.[2] She was also inspired by Maldivian actress Waleedha Waleed.[2] She completed her undergraduate degree in visual communication design at Beaconhouse National University in Lahore, Pakistan.[2]
Career
[edit]Before beginning her acting career, Adam appeared in two music videos in 2009.[2] She later worked behind the scenes in film production, primarily as part of director Ilyas Waheed's team,[2] including on the psychological thriller Bavathi (2019).[8]
Adam made her acting debut in 2021 in a segment of Waheed's anthology web series Mazloom.[9] Starring opposite Ravee Farooq, she received positive reviews from critics for her performance.[3] Ahmed Rasheed of MuniAvas praised her work, highlighting her ability to convey a range of emotions, from a suffering victim to a dominant woman.[3]
The following year, Adam collaborated again with Waheed on his horror thriller anthology web series Biruveri Vaahaka.[4]
In 2023, she starred in her first feature film, Free Delivery , a dark comedy again directed by Waheed.[10] Adam received plaudits from critics for her performance.[5] Aminath Luba of The Press identified her performance as a standout aspect of the film, writing that "despite being a debutant, Adam delivered a solid performance worthy of commendation".[11][12] That same year, Adam appeared in Mohamed Shifuan's web series Fandu.[13]
In 2024, she acted in two films: Waheed's horror feature Kanbalhi[14] and Mohamed Niyaz's Lasviyas (2024).[15]
