The series, which dates back to the sixties of the last century, is not different from the posters that prevailed at the time, but the societies were more open and receptive to the other, considering that we have become more receptive to scenes of violence than scenes that express love.
Sulaf Fawakherji told «Emirates Today» that social media has become today the main player in forming public opinion, and how to publish things, considering that her role in the “Kings of the Sects” that she presented in 2005 has more daring scenes, but he did not cause this type Of controversy.

More open

Great love
In addition to support from the center, the Syrian actress received support from her husband Wael Ramadan, as the poster was published on his page and he wrote "Bdasti", and I read, and then I came out of this support by expressing great love, considering that the presence of the supportive partner provides power to anyone, regardless of the extent of the harm from those around, Especially that he is an artist, talented and champion of the series, and considered that the harm did not affect her alone, but rather affected him more than her, but he was strong enough and able to protect her with a word from him, and this position is difficult to forget from her husband and boyfriend as she described, noting that "we should not lie On ourselves, we accept violence and we do not accept love. ”
"Longing for Freedom"
Regarding the character she presents in the series, she pointed out that it is difficult for her to present it briefly, stressing that this character is the one who defines the biography of the series, describing her as a lady who is yearning for freedom, but she is the mystery of the series and the riddle of the characters and many other meanings, not only human or personal, considering Everyone who sees it feels that it symbolizes many meanings that exceed the limits of the female.
About her work with the able actor Duraid Lahham for the first time, Fawakherji said: “I waited for a long time to work with him, as I had a very good personal knowledge and relationship with me, and we met a lot and traveled together more than once, but I had no chance in a previous series to be With him, so if I stand with him is an important experience in my career, it is a big name. ”
