Saudi singer Rimona may retire

Saudi artist Rimona said that she is thinking of quitting her acting career, because Egyptian production companies primarily make offers to actors with connections and ties to other famous people.

Rimona has starred in seven films and three television drama series, the most famous being “Liqa Ala Al Hawa” (Live On Air), directed by Muhammad Al Najar. The series also starred Egyptian actress Yusra.

 Rimona asserted tat she cannot lower her moral values to get a role, adding that production companies want actors to wear revealing clothing to get ahead in the movie industry.

 Rimona has filmed four music video clips. One music satellite channel aired her clips less, since she was not considered sex enough for views, according to Rimona.

 Rimona signed a contract with the production company ‘Rotana’, owned by prince Walid Bin Talal.  Despite the prince’s decision to include her, Rimona was never offered a role in a film produced by ‘Rotana.’


Rimona is thinking of becoming a television show host or an anchor on one of the famous Arabic satellite channels.
