She referred to her academic studies, saying that she studied law in order to achieve justice, continuing: “I had started studying in law school and wanted to work in the judicial system in the United States of America, and I remember that I was in the last semester and I was on the right track to study law, and on the first day I said to myself, I am an actress, I am a singer. And an actress. But yes, my studies are still a source of information for all the work that I do, and I am grateful for everything that I studied before.. I am very passionate about the criminal justice system and the law of course, and it benefits me very much in everything I do on stage as an actress and singer.”

I have a big family here, and this is how it brought me back.” This ceremony refers to my Egyptian roots and seeing my family and friends here in Egypt, I am very happy.”
