The drama revolves around a girl "Ishtar" who is very simple and suffers the death of her grandmother. She becomes very sad and her father tries to compensate her by spoiling her with money. The major blow in her life comes when the love of her life steals the house she inherited from her grandfather by fraud.
She then travels to Beirut to live with her aunt where she discovers that she has got a charming voice. She climbs up the ladder of fame after going through several plastic surgeries and losing heaps of weight and becomes a superstar.
After years of success she meets her old love and discovers that he had become a very successful businessman but he did not recognize her. She becomes very angry when she sees that he turned into a wealthy man especially due to the fact that he has got his capital from the house he stole from her.
Amal says that it’s a very interesting drama where good and evil had a fierce confrontation. The drama is scheduled to be complete in a few months. –
Arafeh revealed that she does not mind working in the cinema, television series, or on stage, stressing that she is different from others while acting in the sense that she is very romantic. She added that her passion will always be musical performance and singing.
In a personal interview Amal revealed that she despises men who are greedy, stupid, and cold. She added that even if she was sitting in a waiting room across such men she could not take it.
Amal's most recent work is the TV drama series “Thikrayat Al Zaman Al Kadem” (Memories of the Upcoming Era). Amal played the role of a young lady who was taken out of Lebanon and driven to Syria during the Israeli attacks on Lebanon. – Albawaba.com
