She started smoking cigarettes secretly as a teenager and did not tell her family that she was working in acting.. A famous actress reveals secrets about her life (video)

The artist Samah Anwar was a guest on the “With You” program presented by the journalist Mona El Shazly on the DMC channel, where she talked about her recent successes during the last Ramadan season through the series “The Story of Narcissus.”

Anwar touched on her character in the work, describing her as a “narcissistic mother” who is psychologically unbalanced, explaining that the role sheds light on a deep inner turmoil, as the character appears as she reproaches her daughter for not having boys, even though she suffers from the same idea, which reflects a distorted educational environment and exaggerated materialistic tendencies.

She pointed out that the importance of the role does not lie in its size, but in its psychological impact, considering it one of her most prominent artistic milestones.

As for the secret of her brilliance in the series “The Story of Narcissus” and “Supply and Demand,” she explained that true success is based on self-denial, so that the actor puts his focus on serving the work as a whole instead of seeking to impose his presence at the expense of the scene. She added: “The actor is a director of the details of his performance. He sets his vision that integrates with the director’s general vision to produce a convincing and honest picture.”

Samah Anwar recalled an incident from her adolescence that surprised the audience. She admitted to secretly starting smoking cigarettes at the age of fifteen. She recounted how her brother revealed the matter, which led to a violent confrontation with her father that ended with him severely beating her. She confirmed that this incident left an indelible impact on her memory, noting the strict upbringing with which she grew up and its influence on the formation of her strong personality.

She also revealed a funny situation due to the late filming hours, as she said that she did not tell her family that she was working in acting, which made them think that she was working on the “night shift” system, which led to tension inside the house due to her late return times.

She jokingly added that her family was objecting to her being late to work, pointing to a funny situation when she had to get emotional because of an infant who had to leave late from filming.
