She said:
"Not at all. I was actually very excited about the role because the character was beautifully written and emotionally rich, which encouraged me to accept the project."
She emphasized that the quality of the script and the depth of the character are always her top priorities when choosing new roles, regardless of the character's age.
💙 Addressing Bullying and Social Awareness
Nour Kadry believes one of the series' most important messages is shedding light on the serious issue of bullying, which has become one of the biggest challenges affecting teenagers today.
She explained that the series presents realistic examples of how bullying impacts young people while highlighting the essential role that families and schools play in providing emotional support and protection.
She also stressed that drama has the power to raise public awareness when it tackles important social issues with honesty and balance.
🌸 Her Emotional Connection to "Sawsan"
Nour Kadry admitted that she deeply sympathized with Sawsan, explaining that the character had to shoulder enormous responsibilities after losing her husband, forcing her to become both a mother and a father to her daughter.
She noted that Sawsan's excessive protectiveness stemmed from her overwhelming sense of responsibility, although she believes the character sometimes made mistakes by not giving her daughter enough freedom.
