I strongly believe that appearance is important, as it's the first impression you get, but that is definitely not the deciding factor.
I never felt typecast because when I was in television, I was also, simultaneously, in films. I was seen across platforms, so that's why I have not been put in a category.
One does not have to get frustrated with getting an opportunity, whether it is film, short film, web series or TV shows... As an entertainer, opportunities have expanded.

I'm always very proud of Moroccan artistes doing well and achieving international recognition.

Since I was inexperienced in films, I thought it would be very intimidating to work with experienced people like Sanjay Suri and Samir Soni. But I must say they are very encouraging. They clapped when I gave a good shot.
Music and dance is universal, and I want to break borders and represent.
Raftaar is a sensible musician and respects women, music, and his fans!

I believe that, in our industry, overexposure tends to create problems for artists, so fortunately, I have been exposed but not overexposed.
