Actress Hala Fakher confirmed that financial pressures sometimes led her to accept roles she now regrets.
During her appearance on the program “Between the Lines” with journalist Yomna Badrawi, she added that she had considered becoming a flight attendant at the beginning of her career, but her love for art, along with her family’s artistic heritage, led her to pursue acting, resulting in a long and successful career.
Fakher also discussed her experience working with director Youssef Chahine, emphasizing that it was a significant milestone in her artistic journey. She explained that the script for the film “Chaos” was rewritten approximately eight times before its release, an experience from which she learned a great deal.
Regarding the criticism leveled at some of her more daring works, she asserted that what was presented in the films “When Maysara Was Born” and “Chaos” was actually less severe than what is happening in society, stressing that cinema sometimes reflects only a small part of the problems that actually exist.
Regarding the criticism she faced for her appearance in the series “Kalabsh” due to her wearing makeup, Hala Fakher admitted to making a mistake, explaining that the character she portrayed was ill and it wouldn’t have been logical for her to appear that way. She emphasized that she always accepts criticism as long as it’s objective.
She also spoke about her participation in the program “Boogy and Tamtam,” stating that director Rahmy initially presented the idea to her, and she immediately welcomed it.
In another context, Hala Fakher revealed that she has undergone some cosmetic procedures such as fillers, Botox, and skin rejuvenation injections, but not plastic surgery. She affirmed that she sees no problem with resorting to these procedures as long as they are done in moderation.
Hala Fakher is currently participating in the Ramadan television season with the series “Al-Souq Al-Hurra” (The Free Market), starring Mohamed Radwan, Mohamed Tharwat, Wizo, Mahmoud El-Leithy, Hala Fakher, Reem Raafat, and Hossam Dagher, written by Hesham Yehia and Shady Ali.
