She feels that the actor has the responsibility to bring to the viewers an honest picture.
As for her role in the film “Ihki Ya Shahrazad”, Zaki said that she doesn’t consider her role in the film seductive or more daring than any of her previous roles. The only difference in this particular film which led many viewers to thing it is more seductive is that it talks more about women’s sexual needs. The film stars Muna Zaki, Mahmoud Hamidah, Hasan Al Radad and Sawsan.
