Outstanding work
Would you like to choose slightly elitist roles? A question Nelly answered, saying: “I am not looking for a specific category, but I want to present what is good only without looking at the idea of where it will be shown or to whom, and it only concerns me that the work is new and has different content and has meaning, as I do not focus on providing roles in films to display. Commercially only, or to participate in festivals or both, and my convictions may be to present a unique work and I do not know his fate of success or failure, and sometimes we present good works and do not meet the deserved success, and this made me not only interested in acting and the work that I feel creativity only ».
And she continued about the work that you see from her most important artistic stations: «I never imagined myself represented, because I am a ballerina and he is my first and last love, but the first real artistic station in my life was with the great star Faten Hamama in the series (Face of the Moon), perhaps It is my first starting point .. But what really presented me as a real artist is the series (That), I represented a lot before it and I did not classify as a strong actress or highlight my abilities except through this work, which gave me the opportunity of my life and presented me to the audience in a real way .. And I think that people loved after him A lot of work, the most important of which are (Al-Nasa prison), (under control) and (for the highest price).
Nelly Karim responded to her classification by some as a stronger drama actress than being a movie actress, saying: “The artist is an artist in any field, and if he has the ingredients and talent, he will succeed in any field .. This does not negate my conviction that there are areas that give more opportunities than others, nor He also denied that the drama confers roles and large areas, in addition to its control over entering homes and forming mass bases to be reckoned with, and if the actor succeeds in this rule, he will surely make a distinguished history after this stage.
Profession details
The Egyptian star admitted that, besides acting, photography is one of her favorite arts: “I follow what filmmakers and directors do to learn from them the details of the profession, because I enjoy my love for art in general,” adding: “One day it may not be actress, because age will not allow to live All the time in stardom itself, so she will continue to practice art in different ways even if her journey as an actor stops one day, because this is the year of life, and she accepts the fluctuations that happen to be very reconcilable with the soul. ”
She emphasized that "the idea of her retirement from art is impossible and excluded from her life, and she will remain attached to art even if she stays as an actress, and will continue to manufacture under any name, because she cannot stay away from art for the last day of her life."
She stated that she “learned many lessons from life, the most important of which is to do what satisfies her conscience, and that her intention is clear towards anything, I was at the top of my success in the movie (You are my age), and I won many awards, including the best actress, and after that I sat two years in my home not showing I have to do anything, and here I realized that success and continuity and everything has no basis, and it only lasts for complacency. ”
"Sometimes we do good work and do not meet the deserved success, and this made me only interested in acting."
"What really presented me as a real artist is the series (That), it gave me the opportunity of my life."
I love comedy very much

Finally, I also presented the social (Bashtari Ragel) romantic comedy, and I realize, of course, that there are tragedies that people liked for me, such as (Al-Nsa prison), (for the highest price) and (free fall), all of which were dramatic and prone to sadness, but generally I I love diversification and variation. ”
