Egyptian actress Dalal Abdul Aziz is postive about her country's future
Cairo – Arabstoday
Egyptian singer Dalal Abdul Aziz has talked to Arabstoday about her secret love of science and her sadness about Egpyt’s current situation.
Dalal began by explaining that she did not get her start
on the stage, but in the TV series Girl Days in 1977 which was directed by Nour Demerdash. “Nour discovered me. He introduced me to theater through the play ‘Hello Doctor’ and the rest is history.” But if we delve even further in to Dalal’s past, it seems that she was on a different path altogether before her lucky break in the late seventies. “I graduated from the Faculty of Agriculture” she explains, “but I later got a degree from the Media and Arts Department of the College of Economics and Political Sciences.” So why didn’t the star study art from the start? “I am always looking for what I do not know, and then learning everything I can about it,” she explains.
With regards to the current situation in Egypt Dalal sad "I am in a really bad state because of what is happening to Egypt, we are now suffering a complete economic collapse, we are living through the worst era Eygpt has seen. Of course we Egyptians love Egypt, but the situation in which we all live is bad.”
However she expressed no fears for the future of art in Egypt, saying: “Art is such a huge entity huge that no one can fathom or control it. The one can even approach it, but every one has his opinion on it. Artists will be steadfast in the face anything or anyone who tries to destroy this entity.”
Discussing her two daughters, Dalal said "They have some of my qualities some characteristics from their father. They inherited my dedication to my work, and also my love of an upbeat atmosphere, they find fun and humor in everything.”
