A fact of life: Egypt is head over heels for Egyptian actress Nelly Karim. For the past three years, the most talked about shows every Ramadan had to be the ones starred by the unexpectedly and exceptionally talented actress.
First came the TV show Zat, people genuinely believed it was a one-time hit for her. The next year she slayed in Segn Elnessa, followed by her latest epic mosalsal Ta7t ElSaytara, which was the cherry on top on the cake.
Nelly Karim has been leading the race for three years, and yes, the roles she plays always bring a powerful and ignored social message to light, but Nelly, for the love of God, kefaya. We love you, we’ve been following you for the past three years of our lives, but we’re scared this week and here’s why:
We’ve been fasting for almost 16 hours and we’ve just eaten at 7 PM,
suddenly you’re screaming at us at 8 PM
We can’t even with that cross-eye. We’re genuinely disturbed
We tolerated last year’s nakkad because of Hania and Ali. Shaywet hobb disturbed keda!
And we lived with the year before because Rouby’s evil stare re-defined horror
But social media complained
And complained some more
Egyptians are even trying to find you a way out of your misery
We will watch anyway as we’re a hundred percent sure Soqoot 7orr will have a killer plot twist
But for the love of the holy month and the molten lava konafa, enough with the cross-eye. I’m so scared and coffee deprivation is all the stress I can handle this month
