Judy Massoud: "Dalida" in Under Edge Was My Biggest Acting Challenge
Actress Judy Massoud has revealed behind-the-scenes details about portraying Dalida in the drama series Under Edge, describing it as one of the most emotionally demanding roles of her career. She also discussed the series' message, her most difficult scene, and her future artistic ambitions.
Egyptian actress Judy Massoud described her role as Dalida in Under Edge as one of the most challenging experiences of her acting career due to the character's complex psychological and emotional dimensions.
She expressed her happiness with the audience's response, noting that viewers initially disliked Dalida because of her aggressive behavior. However, as the story unfolded and the reasons behind her actions became clear, many began to sympathize with her after discovering the emotional neglect she had experienced since childhood.
Massoud revealed that the most difficult scene for her was when Dalida spoke to an AI-powered mobile application, asking, "Why doesn't anyone love me?" She explained that the scene reflected the character's deep loneliness and emotional pain, making it especially moving to perform.
According to the actress, Under Edge carries an important social message by highlighting the challenges faced by teenagers and encouraging parents to build relationships based on trust, communication, and emotional support. At the same time, the series encourages young people to speak openly with their families instead of facing problems alone.
Speaking about the filming experience, Massoud described the cast and crew as one big family, adding that they often created fun social media videos between scenes to lighten the serious atmosphere on set.
Looking ahead, she expressed her desire to play characters that are completely different from Dalida, particularly kind and optimistic roles that allow audiences to discover another side of her acting abilities.
She concluded by thanking her fans for their continuous support, emphasizing that their positive feedback motivates her to continue developing her craft and choosing meaningful projects.
