In a candid and surprising interview, actress Hend Sabry appeared as a guest on a television program, revealing many secrets from her personal life and artistic career. She emphasized that she was never the highest-paid artist in the industry and that true success cannot be measured by money.

Peace of Mind… A Dream Yet to Be Achieved
Hend Sabry confirmed that she still lacks peace of mind and always faces challenges despite her achievements, saying: “The art profession is difficult because you are under the harsh judgment of people’s criticism. An artist has ups and downs, and this is an endless race that you lose from the start.”

How Does She Handle Social Media Criticism?
She talked about her experience with criticism on social media: “I used to read the comments and get affected to the point of crying, but thanks to my husband, I realized that criticism is relative and does not define me. Now, I don’t read comments much, and if I do, they don’t affect me, because I am an actress and my role is not to please everyone.”

A Quiet and Sensitive Childhood
She described her childhood as lonely and ordinary, expressing regret for not having siblings: “I wanted all my parents’ love for myself only, but now I regret that and realize that love multiplies with siblings around.”

Salary and Talent… A Complex Relationship
Regarding her salary in the arts, Hend Sabry said: “I know who the highest-paid artists are, but I was never among them because I don’t work for money. Salary is not my life goal. Some get high pay without talent, and vice versa. Even me and my senior colleagues don’t demand high fees openly; if we knew who earns the most, we would be surprised.”

Acting Is an Eternal Art, Not Subject to Social Media Trends
She stressed that cinema is an eternal art and a collective memory of nations, and it cannot simply follow social media trends: “Art is not a business or trend; cinema represents immortality and national identity.”

Dual National Identity and Acceptance of Differences
Speaking about her family and national roots, she said: “I am Tunisian by nationality, married to an Egyptian, and my daughters are Egyptian. I am proud of my Tunisian roots and love Egypt, which has become a part of me. Without the love of Egyptians, I wouldn’t have reached where I am today. Voices of racism are few and do not represent the majority.”

A Stable Relationship Free from Jealousy
About her husband, she said: “My husband is not jealous of my fame; he is confident in himself in a way that sometimes annoys me. If he pretended not to be jealous, he wouldn’t have tolerated my presence in the arts all these years.”

The Artist Between Depression and Challenge
Hend revealed that artists suffer more psychological difficulties than others, explaining: “Artists are more prone to depression. God did not create us to be happy all the time.”

In conclusion, Hend Sabry affirmed that success for her is not measured by money or salary, but by inner satisfaction and psychological balance, stating: “Success is not money… and salary is not my life goal.
