After an absence from Ramadan drama; The star Yousra returned with the series “Betrayal of Ahad”, which achieved remarkable success, as the Egyptian artist starred in the role of the heroine who is being betrayed by the closest people to her, revealing - in her dialogue with «Emirates Today» - that she evoked events that occurred to her in a real way, asking: « Who among us was not betrayed in his life? Like me, I was exposed to hundreds of betrayals that hurt me the most. ”
Yusra added, about the reason she was absent for two years from TV drama and artistic life: “I never intended absence, I live in art and art, and acting is my entire life, and I was absent for one year, as I was present the year before last in the series (We have other sayings), and achieved success, despite It was not shown on the Egyptian screens during Ramadan, but it was shown on Arab screens, then on the Egyptian television. ”
She added: “I was preparing for work after (we have other sayings), but we did not catch up with filming before Ramadan, and this is the reason for absence only, and of course absence affects any artist, but for me; I am always present even if no job is offered to me. I am found in the viewer's chair, and I follow the work of colleagues and interact with everything in the artistic community. ”
Integrated work
Yousra revealed the reason for choosing the series “Betrayal of Ahad”, among many ideas and shows that she poured in to bring her back to the drama, adding: “I was hoping to return to a new, different and exciting work. I am looking for an interesting, different and renewed idea, and (betrayal of a covenant) was a work integrated with all the specifications that I hoped for, and I felt that during reading, so every episode attracts me to read the second episode, and this suspense attracts me very much in any work ».
The "betrayal of the era" of the fourth teaser series is considered to be after the series: "Above the level of suspicions", and "The account collects" and "We have other sayings" .. So has this type of drama become the favorite and the only one you want to present in this period? .. Yousra: “I love presenting any new thought, whether it is suspense, historical, social, or romantic. I do not stipulate a specific quality, and the allocation and mono classification of a work by any artist is stupid and inexperienced, but I am in general as an actress and a person who loves the most interesting events even if in Romantic work; The suspense does not contradict the quality of the drama, and frankly, I really tend to make certain choices, especially in Ramadan, especially the work of excitement and suspense, because the views, experience and studies say that the audience is attracted to this type of drama in the whole world, and it is the preferred type of viewer segment of Different cultures, races and ages.
And she saw that «this type of work enjoys high follow-up on a daily basis, and ensures that the viewer respects and awaits the work, and remains in focus as he watches events and this is an important goal for any artist, and I certainly will not do a work that will not attract the viewer or wait for any time to follow it together. It is very frustrating, and I can’t do such works, so I definitely prefer the drama drama, but one condition is that it is also close to the people, because I don’t do a work that is far from the feelings, the family, the feelings, and the problems of the people, until the viewer feels that he sees Himself in any personality of the work, and thus interacts and pursues with love and focus ».
People "Alfooso"
About changing the name of her last series more than once, Yousra said: «There was hesitation in choosing the name, at the beginning we chose (the reader of the cup), because there are events about reading the cup, and then we thought about (Dahab Aira) a metaphor for the people (Al Falu), who We give them our trust and do not deserve them, and in the end the director and author suggested to me the name (betrayal of a covenant), and I liked the idea very much, and I found it more appropriate because it expresses those around a covenant, and the betrayal that I have been subjected to ».
And about her vision of true betrayal, and whether she was exposed to her in her embodiment with all this creativity in the series, the Egyptian star affirmed: “Who among us has not been betrayed in his life from loved ones, relatives, friends and colleagues, because I, like others, were subjected to hundreds of betrayals that hurt me very much, but I surpassed them because the discovery of betrayal is painful but it purifies The person is a fake and teaches us a lot of experiences ». She continued: «Generally, I trust people according to my sense of them and their actions, and if they betrayed, everyone gives him God (as much as his intention). As for embodiment of my feeling of suffering from my lawlessness at work, I brought some events that happened to me in real, in addition to that the character was wonderful and written With a delicate sense, events are interlinked and highly influential.
And unlike many stars who love titles such as the drama princess, the star of the masses, and the lady of the screen, Yousra does not prefer these titles, considering that “everyone is free in his life and in what he prefers, and there are things that may please a person and do not matter to others, this is relative, and I Kisra is an actress, and the idea of titles does not concern me as such, and I am not working towards obtaining them, but in general the title is something that the artist is pleased with, especially since the audience is the one who launches these titles, and I love to thank anyone who loves me, and considers me close to his heart, and perhaps this is winning The real thing for me. ”
Corona is a difficult test
The star, Yousra, said of the Corona pandemic, and its impact on life and art, that "the whole world is struggling, and we are terrifyingly dealing with everything, and this is something we had not imagined, but we must continue life, and I hope that this crisis will pass well."
She added, "Art has been affected a lot because of this virus, and we have done a lot of measures to face it, and I wish to recover for the sick. I feel very sad for merely hearing the numbers of the injured, or seeing cases, and the fear really dominates me, and I hope that God will recover us from this difficult test." .
