The actress Minal Salama revealed her firm and clear stance on the use of social media platforms, especially TikTok, as a way to enter the world of acting. She emphasized that art cannot be reduced to just a talent gained through social media, but rather is a respected profession that requires learning its fundamentals from specialists, intensive training, and full commitment to its rules. In her statement, Minal Salama said: "I am against mixing social media with acting. Art is a profession with its own foundations and rules, and you can't shortcut your way into it by posting quick clips on social media." She added that art is not just a hobby or innate talent, but a real profession that requires continuous effort and constant learning. While many may think that fame on social media is enough to break into acting, Minal affirmed that this approach does not reflect the true value of art.
Minal's viewpoint was not only about herself but also about her daughter, Amira, who chose the difficult path to enter the world of acting. She studied this field seriously and attentively. Minal confirmed that Amira did not rely on her family's fame or social media to enter this field, but worked hard to earn her place in acting, representing a model of true talent based on rigorous training and effort. "My daughter studied acting seriously and did not take the easy route into this field just because her family works in the arts," Minal affirmed in her statement.

In another context, Minal talked about her relationship with theater and her deep love for this genuine art form, explaining that theater has always been at the heart of her life. She said: "Theater is my lifelong love, my first passion. I was born in Alexandria and stood on its stage when I was three years old." She added that theater is not just about performing, but is an art that requires real interaction with the audience, something that she sees today as drawing increasing interest from families who are eager to attend theater performances. Minal confirmed that theater holds a special place in her heart, as it witnessed many important moments in her artistic life.

Despite her absence from the 2025 Ramadan season, Minal confirmed that she does not set a specific timeline for her return, but is waiting for a role that excites and challenges her. She said: "I am waiting for a work that provokes me so I can return with it." She emphasized that she is not seeking to return just for the sake of returning, but wants her return to be with an artistic work that deserves the sacrifices and efforts she has put into her career. Minal added that art requires commitment to professional standards, which is why she carefully selects her roles, not looking for fame but for the impact she will leave on the audience.

Minal Salama remains an example of an artist who respects the profession of acting, believing that acting is not just a temporary job, but a long-term commitment that requires a lot of effort, practice, and continuous training.
