Egyptian actress Hala Fakher revealed several important moments from her artistic and personal life, noting that at the beginning of her life she considered working as a flight attendant. However, her love for art and belonging to a renowned artistic family ultimately led her to choose acting and begin a long journey in the world of entertainment.

Fakher spoke about her experience in the series Sharaf Fath El Bab, explaining that she experienced a period of depression after the show ended due to how deeply she was affected by the events and her character. This prompted her to travel to Alexandria for a short time to regain her emotional balance, where she would spend long periods sitting by the sea to restore her energy.

She also revealed that her greatest fears in life revolve around her children, noting that she constantly thinks about them. She also spoke about her special relationship with her grandchildren, expressing surprise when she saw their images generated by artificial intelligence, saying with amazement: “When did they grow up like that?”

Fakher added that she underwent some minor cosmetic procedures such as fillers and Botox, stressing that she sees no issue with such procedures as long as they are done in moderation.

She also explained that her mother played a major role in raising her children, noting that she often had to take on the role of the father due to her busy work schedule, while her mother handled the responsibilities of caregiving.

The actress also recalled childhood memories with her late father, actor Fakher Fakher, saying he was sometimes strict with her and once punished her by locking her in her room because she refused to eat zucchini.

She added that his sudden death marked a major turning point in her life, as she was asked to leave the family home, which forced her to start working at a young age—when she was only fourteen.
