Actor Ahmed Maher delivered strong statements during his appearance on the TV program “Wara El Shams” with journalist Yasmine El Khyat 📺, criticizing what he described as “low-quality production” and the spread of violent or negative characters in some dramas.

🔥 He stated that the absence of effective censorship has contributed to the decline in content quality, emphasizing that television enters every home and therefore carries great responsibility toward society.

📌 Maher explained that repeated portrayal of thug characters over the years negatively affected public taste, arguing that presenting the same patterns without artistic awareness reinforces harmful behaviors.

He added that during earlier stages of his career, scripts were carefully reviewed before and after filming 🎬, noting that dialogue delivery and performance style can completely change the meaning of a scene — requiring strict supervision.

✨ He reaffirmed his statement questioning the current state of artistic production, calling for higher standards in drama quality.

🤝 In response, Yasmine El Khyat mentioned that censorship has become stricter today, while Maher clarified that portraying controversial characters such as marginalized or morally challenged figures was never meant to promote them, but to highlight their consequences.

🎯 He emphasized that his message is clear: negative paths in storytelling should serve as warnings, not models — and their natural outcome should reflect social rejection and downfall.
