Actress Iman Abdel Aziz during her hosting with Rabaa Al-Zayyat
Syrian actress Iman Abdel Aziz said that she tamed the directors, but they could not tame her.
Abdulaziz added on the Show the Story program with Rabiaa Al-Zayat and recounted one of her memories while filming the Qishani bath series: “I arrived at the filming location tired, and I did not pay attention to the character’s costume, so I arrived late to the big studio, so the director started screaming and issuing orders, and because of the pressure that I was suffering from.” “She set off a bomb, hit the director with a tea cup and left.”
She added: “The director started begging me to come back, and he convinced his assistant that he wanted to let me into the atmosphere of the character, and after two hours they comforted me and I returned.”
Abdulaziz talked about the artist Tayseer Al-Saadi, whom she was visiting on the set of the Salhiya Gate series, who convinced her to enter the field of art to overcome the financial obstacles she was experiencing as an employee who got married and then separated from her husband to marry again.
She said: “At the beginning of my artistic life, I did not understand that atmosphere, and I was subjected to harassment by directors, but from below to below… At that time, I felt neglected and marginalized because I did not accept that thing, especially since the artistic community has a lot of favoritism.”
She described herself as being aggressive if she had to, saying, “No matter how much others sinned against me and treated me unfairly, they know that the kindness of my heart will restore reconciliation between us.”
Regarding her suffering as an actress, Abdel Aziz explained that she worked hard in art until she reached what she has achieved because she is not a graduate of the Higher Institute of Dramatic Arts, indicating that she is artistically oppressed compared to her abilities, and she blamed the directors who know her abilities, asking them to insist on the producers to give her the roles she deserves. Away from favoritism.
Abdulaziz paid tribute to the artist Salloum Haddad, who gave her the opportunity to be in the series “Aziza’s Choir.”
She cited the injustice and humiliation that she was exposed to after her character was completely canceled in the second part of the series Souk El Silk and People of the Banner, and that the directors put her in third place after Wafa Mosulli and Amana Wali in the works of the Levantine environment.
Abdulaziz paid tribute to the artist Salloum Haddad, who gave her an opportunity by insisting that she be part of the team of the series “Aziza’s Choir” with director Tamer Ishak.
Regarding her dispute with director Rasha Sharbatji, she said: “I took to heart Rasha because there was unfairness to my rights in the Harat Al-Qubba series. There is no fair pay and no rest in location, costumes and makeup, as filming moved from December to July, and the weather became very hot. I was affected and became I forget the conversation, and as a result of her negative remarks in front of everyone, I become frustrated… and I blame her for not giving me my due attention.”
Abdulaziz explained that she now accepts anything on the financial level, and if she were financially stronger, she would have made a better choice, and the weak wages in Syria may have forced her to enter the world of Tik Tok, and she justifies all the artists who did this, saying: “This is neither ungratefulness nor an insult to dignity.”
It is noteworthy that the real name of the Syrian actress is Iman Zabadneh, and Iman Abdel Aziz was named after the Egyptian actor Mahmoud Abdel Aziz, whom she believes in acting to the fullest extent, as she explained in the episode.
