| Quotes: |
[Harper's Bazaar Arabia, November 5, 2020] I wanted to act since I was five. I remember my mum's friend saying, 'Well, there's a lot of competition, you should pick something else.' I went through a really shy phase so when I told people they were like, 'Where did that come from?'. Sometimes, though, when you know, you know. |
