Every person has a weak spot in their personality that they can do nothing about; artists are not immune. 

In a report conducted by Al Masa’a newspaper, a number of actresses revealed their weak spots. Following are some excerpts from the article: 


 

Leila Elwi : “My weak spot is personified in my nephews because I consider them like my own children and my love for them has no boundaries. I also have a weakness for chocolate because I love it a lot; which is bad because that’s how I gain so much weight despite my various attempts at dieting.” 

Meanwhile, in a colorful interview made by the Arab Satellite and Radio Network (ART), actor Faruq El Fishawi had jokingly said that the beautiful actress likes chocolates and biscuits a bit too much. 


 

Mirvat Amin: “My only weak spot is my daughter Mona Allah, because she represents everything in my world and I cannot refuse her anything; no matter what it is she asks.” 


 

Nahla Salama: “My weak point is swimming, which I love to do always. I am constantly looking for free time to swim. Also I am very weak towards nuts and sweets.” 


 

Rania Farid Shawqi: “My weak spot is ‘Warak Inab’ (Stuffed Grape Leaves), which I love. I have never gone by a whole week without that dish and when grape season is over, I start looking for dried grape leaves, although the taste is a bit different.” 


 

Leila Taher: “My weak spot is new television series, which I like because most of the new shows cover family issues, which I can never refuse to participate in.” 


 

Afaf Radi: “My weak spot is Macaroni with Chicken, which I cook myself at home. I also have a weakness for anything my daughter May wants.” 


 

Yusra: “My weak spot is any work with Adel Imam or director Youssef Shahin. I cannot refuse to work with these two people in any project; even if my role is not more than a measly one scene.” 


 

Samia Al Ulfi: “My weakness is for my children, especially my youngest boy, Omar. If he asked that I actually resign from my career, I would without thinking twice.” 


 

Mariam Fakhreddine: “My weakness is my lack of willpower to get away from the camera for a long time. Which makes me agree to any role that comes my way; even if it is a small role.” 


 

Fayza Kamal: “My greatest weakness is fear of the sea. I do not swim or go to the water ever. If I was far away from the sea, but the waves were very high, I would be petrified.” 


 

Sabireen: “My weakness is my son Nour, who I cannot get away from, regardless of the reasons. I even bring him with me during shoots.” 


 

Raghda: My weakness is compliments and noble stands.” 


 

Ma’ali Zayed: “I don’t really like discussing my weaknesses because I am afraid that someone would use them against me. But, I feel the most happy when I am among my nephews.” – Albawaba.com.
