Regarding her beginnings in the world of acting, Bouchoucha indicated that the series “Memory of the Flesh” was her real opportunity, which came at the right time, as she was up to the responsibility, explaining that the writer Ahlam Mosteghanemi was the one who nominated her for the role, due to her proficiency in classical Arabic, and the absence of dialects in the work.

She revealed that she underwent intensive training for nine months under the supervision of a professor from Damascus, which qualified her to be nominated for the Adonia Award for Best Actress, which she considered a beautiful point in her life, although her happiness was doubled for not winning, as she believed that standing in front of great Syrian actresses at the beginning of her career required her to be patient and not rush.

"The Brothers" is a turning point in my artistic career

Regarding her other works in Syrian drama, Bouchoucha mentioned the series “Women’s Sessions,” “Birth from the Hip,” “The Time of the Flea,” “Underground,” and others. However, she considered the series “The Brothers” to be a major turning point in her career, as she gained a great deal of experience from artists and directors.

She also revealed that it was a bold experience for director Muthanna Sobh to present an Algerian actress who speaks in the Syrian dialect in the series “Women’s Sessions,” especially in the role of “Rawida,” which does not resemble her.

She pointed out that "Al-Ikhwa" was a new work of its kind, as it had 116 episodes, and included the most important young stars of Syrian drama, which made it a difficult work, but it increased its popularity and audience.

The Syrian audience supported and accepted me.

Regarding her relationship with the Syrian audience, Bouchoucha confirmed that the Syrian audience accepted and supported her, and that she reciprocated their love and appreciation, explaining that she felt this love when she visited Damascus, and their acceptance of her because she was honest in everything she presented in Syria, from feelings and acting. She also pointed to her good relationships with the Syrian stars, confirming that they never made her feel like a stranger among them.

The problem of "School of Love" with Ahlam Mosteghanemi

Regarding her problem with the writer Ahlam Mosteghanemi, Bouchoucha explained that she was treated unfairly in the series “Seerat Al Hob”, as she was not participating in the trilogy that caused the controversy, but rather this trilogy was filmed after the filming of her scenes was finished, adding that she accepted the role because of her desire to gain experience with the artist Marwan Khoury.

She revealed that the problem was that the writer had quoted excerpts from Ahlam Mosteghanemi's novel, which was performed by artist Amal Arafa and artist Abdel Moneim Amayri, and she was accused of participating in a stolen work, which she did not know about, stressing that she did not respond or justify anything because she did not do that.

She pointed out that she tried to contact her, but she was traveling, but things were accelerating greatly, stressing that she considers her a compatriot today, and is proud of the opportunity she gave her, and that she has nothing in her heart against her, and will not forget the kindness she did for her.

"The Sculptor" Didn't Get His Right Due to Corona

Regarding the series "The Sculptor", Bouchoucha indicated that it did not get its due due to the Corona pandemic, which caused filming to stop, the arrival of Ramadan, and the ambiguity of the series, all of which were circumstances that did not help the series.

Lebanese drama is open to me

Regarding Lebanese drama, Bouchoucha confirmed that there was no friction with production companies, but her door is open to everyone. She lives in Lebanon because she loves it, and her destiny came to Lebanon. She indicated that she may not be suitable for the roles or the production plan for the series, but she is ready to work if the role is suitable.

I don't care what is being plotted against me behind the scenes

Regarding the criticism directed at her, Bouchoucha confirmed that she does not care about what is being plotted against her behind the scenes, because she is confident in herself, and considers the jealousy within her to be positive jealousy that motivates her to work and develop.

When asked about the artist whose success motivates her, she answered: “Salaf Maamari,” stressing that the way she presented the role of “Sukar” was creative. In her conversation with director Rasha Sharbatji, she praised the wonderful role, and she would have loved to try it to see how she would present it.

I seek a decent artistic life

Bouchoucha confirmed that she seeks a decent artistic life, and does not yearn for stardom, and does not like to compare herself to anyone, because she finds herself number one with herself, and considers success to be the fruit of her work.

Regarding her absence from the screen for two consecutive Ramadans, she explained that this was due to work pressure and extreme fatigue, and she refused the work because it was outside Lebanon and required effort and travel.

My family is my priority

Regarding her personal life, Bouchoucha confirmed that her family is her top priority, explaining that she met her husband through mutual friends, and that fate was Lebanese, and their marriage resulted in her daughter, Lea.

I am very happy with my husband

Regarding the rumors of her divorce, Bouchoucha confirmed that she is very happy with her husband, and that she does not listen to the rumors, explaining that marriage is an institution that must be preserved, and that love changes and matures with time, and there must be a balance in married life.

Motherhood is the most beautiful role in my life

She considered motherhood the most beautiful role in her life, stressing that she lives it with all love, and that stardom is a priority, but not at the expense of her motherhood.

At the end of her speech, Bouchoucha confirmed that she is living a stage of peace of mind and maturity, and thanks God for this blessing.
