Egyptian actress Elham Shahin has revealed that she is seriously thinking of releasing a new book that features her complete collection of poems, after she came out of the dark and proved to be a successful poet in her TV drama series “Nijmat Al Jamaheer” (Superstar). Elham performed three songs from the poems she has written, which is an additional talent she possesses.
The actress revealed that writing poems has become one of her favorite hobbies and throughout the course of time her writings have reached the level of being sung in front of an audience, a matter which she feels is a turning point in her career. Elham added that each poem she has written reflects a special moment in her life, which she felt could only be expressed in words in order to last.
On a different point, Shahin has expressed her anger over the schedule given to the television drama series that are aired during Ramadan, saying that her drama series “Nijmat Al Jamahir” (Superstar) was to be aired on a number of local and satellite television channels. The actress stressed that the series was noted to be among the best works to be produced this year and for that reason it should have been included in the month where the number of television viewers is at its peak.
Elham sent a complaint to the Ministry of Information stating that “Nijmat Al Jamahir” does not coincide with her other drama series “Mas’alit Mabda” (A Matter of Priniciple), where the each can be aired on a separate Egyptian satellite channel. It was added that a number of other actors and actresses have sent similar complaints to the Ministry of Information stating that their drama series were also removed from the Ramadan TV lineup and moved to be aired at later times.
Recently, disputes broke out once more between Elham and Egyptian actress Nadia Al Jundi over “Nijmet Al Jamaheer, in which Nadia claimed that the film is about her and tackles her life since she is the one who won the award for number one actress. Elham expressed that the film has nothing to do with Nadia and the latter has no right to argue such a case. The film revolves around the life of an actress who has reached top stardom, but throughout her journey of success encounters several problems that end her career and life at the end. Most of the scenes of the film are shot in different places around Egypt and France.
Shahin and the cast of the new television drama series "Mas'alit Mabda" had traveled to Paris-France to shoot the remaining outdoor scenes for the series. Director Khairy Ibsharah of the series revealed that Paris was the best choice for the final scenes of the drama. A crew of professional French cameramen assisted in the filming of the scenes. All the scenes are now ready and are currently in the production stage.
Singing in films or TV drama series is not an unusual thing for Elham, as she has come to be a master of the art, but for the first time throughout her career, the actress will be singing songs she herself has written. In the new TV drama series “Nijmat Al Jamaheer” (Superstar), Elham will be performing three songs from poems she has written, which is an additional talent she possesses.
The actress revealed that writing poems has become one of her favorite hobbies and throughout the course of time her writings have reached the level of being sung in front of an audience, a matter which she feels is a turning point in her career. - Albawaba.com
