Exclusive. Nelly Karim, typically an upper middle class and romantic young woman, is almost finished with Naseem Al Rouah (Soul’s Breeze), her latest TV serial in an out-of-box role after her Ehna Etabelna Abl Keda? (Have We Ever Met Before?).
“I’m trying to escape that ‘aristocratic’ face. I think my role as a wife betrayed by her husband in Abl Keda is just this sort of innovation,” says Nelly. “[But] I also play a low-class girl who still holds on to Egyptian society’s values but who has to stand up against odds in her personal life such as her father who is in fact a fetewa (thug) – something which makes people look at her differently.”
Nelly has already played a low-class young woman in Ghaby Menoh Feah, co-starring with Hany Ramzy but she feels she is now playing differently. “All crew feels I’m a low-class girl already –but then thanks to a fabulous script. That really makes me happy. Actually, we’re doing our best so we can catch up with Ramadan.”
On lukewarm responses for Abl Keda, Nelly responds saying she is just happy about those showed interest. “I don’t think Abl Keda is an adult’s movie. Unfortunately, (For adults) was placed improperly. That’s why you no longer find (For adults) in movie billboards and ads. That actually works both ways: you get buzz and hype everywhere or you freak more conservative movie goers (especially families) who have every right to protect kids.”
“I believe I am not accountable for revenues, especially Abl Keda was screened in a bad timing. All I care about, though, is I did well.”
