Yasmin Abdel Aziz Comments on Her Role in 'Darab Nar'

The Egyptian actress Yasmin Abdel Aziz discussed her role in the series 'Darab Nar' during her appearance on the program 'With Mona El Shazly'. She expressed that she does not regard the series as one of her standout performances, even though it garnered significant success during its Ramadan airing.

Abdel Aziz noted that the character Mahra Abu Al-Lail, whom she portrayed, did not align with her true self, leading to her dissatisfaction with the role, despite the positive audience reception.

The series follows the story of a young woman from a modest background who takes on her family's responsibilities and falls in love with a man from Upper Egypt named Jabir Al-Komanda (played by Ahmed Al-Awady). Their relationship evolves as Jabir becomes involved in drug trafficking and is subsequently imprisoned, prompting Mahra to marry another man and name her child after Jabir. The plot thickens when Jabir is released from prison, leading to further complications.

Yasmin's remarks have sparked controversy, with some interpreting them as a negative implication towards her co-star Ahmed Al-Awady, particularly following their separation and the emergence of rumors regarding his relationship with another actress.

This situation is set against a backdrop of previous competition between the two actors, as they vied for top viewership ratings with their respective series: Yasmin with 'Wataqabal Habib' and Al-Awady with 'Fahd Al-Batal'.
