Preparations for this Ramadan (Muslim fasting month) have already begun as producers and directors rush to complete their new works which they will present in the hope that it will find acceptance among viewers. A surplus of new show shows, contests, drama series, and other entertainment are nearing their completion one of which is a new Ramadan contest show to be hosted by Egyptian actress Ghada Riziq.
Ghada’s new show revolves around the issue of marriage and how these days less people are able to find their match and let alone able to afford getting married. The show will try to tackle the issue through providing a special service over the internet which allows for single people to join in the hope of finding their perfect match. Every episode will focus on a specific couple and will attempt to help them get together and get married.
Throughout the contests show that is like a semi-drama series, Ghada’s character comes to a point where she realizes that she too is a victim of becoming a maiden and the marriage train may have already passed her by. In her attempt to avoid being single all her life, she begins to look through all the male contestants who have signed their names as seekers of a perfect match and tries to find the one that suits her most.
Ghada has made a commitment to take part in four different TV series at the same time not leaving any room for relaxation. The actress has accepted roles in "Amana Ya Lail" (Oh Night), "Al Ama Nour" (Aunt Nour), "Asifit Al Shak" (Doubt Storm), and finally in a joint Saudi-Egyptian series "Wala Fil Ahlam" (Not in the Wildest Dreams).
In each of the series, Ghada presents a new side to her exposing the scope of her acting ability. She has made it a point to dedicate her entire time to acting and making a name for her in the acting world.
Recently, Egyptian director Khairi Bushara, underwent his first television directing experience, after experiencing a long line of success in cinema production, in the new TV series "Mas'alit Mabda" (A Matter of Principle) staring Ghada. The new drama revolves around the issue of illegal weapon smuggling, terrorism, and the increase of violence in one of Egypt's rural areas.
The drama also tackles an incident of killing tourists by some of the locals which lead to an outbreak in the community. Khairi is to begin shooting the scenes for the drama in October after the script and cast are finalized. The story is written by Mohammad Safa Amer and is to costar Riyadh Al Khouly, Abo Baker Izzat, Mona Shalabi, and Hisham Salim.
When asked about taking on any new seductive roles as her usual style, Ghada replied that she is trying to refrain from the role of the seductive and sexy woman in movies and TV series, not wanting to be limited to such parts. She added that she plans on taking different roles to prove to directors that she is capable of playing any part she is given. - Albawaba.com
