Five statements by Yasmine Sabry: I tend to be modest..and the veil is not far from me

The artist, Yasmine Sabry, spoke from the heart, about several aspects of her personality, in an interview she conducted with the Arab magazine “Vogue”, and “Specially” reviews her 5 most prominent statements in the following report:

1. My first casting in 2012, I felt fear. The director dealt with me as if I were a moving body and only that, at a time when I see that the woman’s step is dear, and does not accept that anyone moves it as he pleases, and my first work was to deliberately hide any charms with my body, And I am annoyed by any artist who deliberately displays her charms in an inappropriate way to attract attention and attract opportunities.

2. I feel that I was created to be in front of the camera and under the spotlight all the time, but I see myself as a very conservative woman, and I tend to be modest in my clothes all the time and on various occasions, and I choose clothes very carefully even if they do not go with fashion.

3. I may wear the hijab one day, as this idea is not far from me as a Muslim woman.

4. I do not like being in crowded and noisy places, while I tend to be completely calm. I am a calm, homely, simple and introverted person. I am not hijacked by the limelight. I am satisfied with my old friendships that I formed before fame and keep them because I live in front of them my true personality, and because I do not easily trust others, nor I open the way for new personalities to enter my life, for fear that their closeness to me may be out of interest.

5. It is difficult for me to move freely in the streets of Cairo, because I am afraid of crowding around me, so I resort to traveling about every 3 weeks, to gain some of my freedom. Once, I wanted to visit the Khan al-Khalili area, so I made sure to disguise myself and wear the niqab to hide, so that I would not be discovered. Nobody, but it was very difficult, and people recognized me from my eyes and my voice.
