Ghada Abdel Razek: “The Hurt Came from People I Trusted Completely” Ghada Abdel Razek: I Withdrew from a Project Because It Didn’t Suit My Artistic Journey

In a candid and moving interview, Egyptian actress Ghada Abdel Razek revealed a long journey with psychological therapy that lasted nearly twenty years, starting after a shocking incident she witnessed by chance, which left a profound mark on her and turned her life into a continuous struggle with mental stress and depression.

Ghada said on a TV program: “I saw a woman fall from a building, and that scene has never left my memory. From that moment, I felt something inside me change, and I was overwhelmed by severe psychological pressure.” She added that taking on heavy roles and enduring artistic pressures worsened her condition, making therapy essential to cope with these traumas.

She also revealed the pain caused by betrayals from those she trusted, saying: “The hurt came from people I trusted completely. It was like a treacherous stab in my back. Feeling unsafe was one of the hardest experiences, and losing trust in those who are supposed to be your safe haven was even harder.”

Abdel Razek spoke about attempts to undermine her and hinder her career due to competition and jealousy, noting that her success caused irritation among some colleagues, but she emphasized that she faced all of this with determination to maintain her artistic standing.

Through these statements, Ghada Abdel Razek opened a clear window into her inner struggles—a mix of personal pain, sudden shocks, and professional pressures—confirming that her long journey with psychological therapy was the only way to regain her mental balance and continue facing the challenges of life and art.
