Hanan Turk Fights Private Lessons


Hanan Turk

After her success in the TV series "Awlad Al Shawari'" or "Street Kids", the young Egyptian actress Hanan Turk is getting ready to start her a new series called “Awatif Mantiqa Taleemiyeh" or "Feelings of an Educational Area" about the Egyptian educational system and how high ranking officials attempt to prevent any development on the system or to eradicate private lessons.

Hanan’s success came from the TV series "Street Kids" which aired during Ramadan about juveniles who spend their days and nights on the streets trying whatever they can to find food and shelter. It was one of the very few media productions that tackled the issue of the millions of homeless children in Egypt.

    good 4 her,but i think shes better to start for a new role and appear as a bad person,coz the actor should not put himself in the same personality or same line,now after her hijab all eyes r on her,and its not good 4 her to act as the innocent or the girl who treated unfairly,i want to c her as a devil for example a woman who hate her husband or a killer or any bad character in order to prove that she is a good actor and her hijab didnt determine her roles in acting and she can do any character not only "mosle7a ektema3eya"

    "now after her hijab all eyes r on her,and its not good 4 her to act as the innocent or the girl who treated unfairly,i want to c her as a devil for example "

    are you a retard nouza?i hope you're not a muslim because then i could give you an excuse for obviously not knowing what the hijab means.i dont understand why you want her to be a "devlish" person or a killer especially now since shes worn the hijab.she doesnt have to prove shes a good actor by protraying bad or nasty roles..she might as well protray a sweet or herioc role and people would admire her for that.plus its not right to say that all eyes are on her because she is wearing the hijab and thus you get to the conclusion that shes not a "good" actress.people could be good actors or actresses with or without wearing the hijab.As Martin Luther King said you should judge people by the context of their character and not how they look like .

    birdflukillme,its really strange that u think i am not muslim!!!anyway my comment was targeting hanan turk the actress and i think as i am one of her fans i would like to c her acting a specific role,i am free to ask her to do whatever what i like to c her in!! and yes i wanna c her as bad person,it ll be a challenge for her to prove that she can do all the roles coz she put herself in one category,and hanan and other mohajabats were very criticised and attacked from some ppl here in Egypt and they said that mohajabats cant do varities roles and its better for them to stay at home!!beside who told u that the hijab is against acting!!hanan turk,suhair bably,sohair ramzy.sabrine and others have asked religious men about acting and i think they know better than u!!and its really funny to say its wrong that i said "all eyes r on her"!!if u dont live in Egypt so i can understand ur lack of information,u dont know anything about what is going here,but if u live here so pls go and read or watch what is written or broadcast about the actresses wearing hijab..anyway i think if hanan turk reads my comment she ll understand my point of view and this is the only thing i care for:)

    beside who told u that the hijab is against acting!!

    I never said that!!tell me where i said that in my post!my point is not that she shouldnt act because shes wearing the hijab i think u misunderstood what i said completely!i said its kind of rare to expect a muhajaba actress to portray an evil role.i never said she shouldnt act instead im going to pursue a career in acting.what youre saying makes me look like im hypocritical at the moment.please read what i posted another time.

    coz my main idea or my point of view was concentrating about Hanan's hijab and puting herself in one category as the good person who treated unfair..ect,while i wanna support her coz i felt that she wasnt happy for the huge attack from some crazy ppl here in Egypt becoz of her hijab,then ur comment started with a very strange phrase"hope that ur not muslim then i could give u an excuse...ect"so if u didnt mean that hijab is against acting,so i think ur comment has no sence coz what in my comment that makes u feel i am not muslim!!

    no you see i only said that because you said she should portray an evil role now that shes wearing the hijab which i found very strange because people who wear the hijab should be everything BUT evil.im living in Sweden but i havent ever seen a covered actress portraying n evil role on any show.maybe that would be interesting but evil and the hijab dont mesh together.i hope you dont make up your mind after reading the first sntence only.

    who told u that mohajabats r all good ppl!!!for sure not,and according to ur words "U should judge ppl by the context of their character not how they look like",and this is exactly what i wanna support Hanan to prove it,coz as i told u the main criticise for the mohajabats that they cant do varities of roles and just one category,being mohajaba doesnt mean u are pure from inside and u always good person,exactly as for the not mohajabats they not all of them r bad coz they dont wear hijab,what i mean is being an actress mohajaba ll not stop her for doing any role even if she act as killer or sphyco person,this ll be a challenge for her and according to the story of the movie or mosalsal itself that she ll act in,her role could be very effective and very good..

    I hope that you all donīt miss understand my comment. Hi my name is Suzanne. Iīm from Sweden and Iīm christian. Iīm also half arab. Personally I like muslims allot. I respect them very much. I am a very big fan of Hanan. About Hanan wearing a hijab, I think that she did a very good decision. She seems positive of her decision and I suport her as much as I can. I donīt think that Hanan is less beautyfull or less talanted wearing a hijab. Hanan Turk will remain Hanan Turk if she wears a hijab or not. I really loved her parts as "Sarah" in the serie "Sarah" and her part as "Zeinab" in "Awlad Al Shaware". Ithink that Hanan is a wonderfull actress, the most talanted and beautyfull in all the world. She played "Zeinab" in "Awlad el Shaware" wonderfully well. And she was wearing a hijab. Hanan wearing a hijab or not is a decision Hanan has taken. We have nothing to do with her decision. We have to respect that. I wish you good luck from all my heart,Hanan. Continue with what you belive in. Live your life,Hanan. And as you know,Hanan:there is no one but God and He is the greatist. May God be with you and protect you alweys, Hanan. Bye!!!

    I totally agree with Suzanne. Hanan Turk is still Hanan Turk with or without the hijab. I think she made a great decision when she decided to wear it. But, she is still the same great actress.

    I just read what Razan rited and I`m very happy that you did not miss understand my comment. Has any of you seen " Awlad el Shaware "? If you have, what do you think about the story? I think that the serie is a sucess both in the way of acting and in the way of analysing the situation of the street children i Egypt. Iīm very happy that someone finaly choised to do a serie about the street children. Because some people still donīt understand the critical situation of the poor street chidren in Egypt and in other countrys. I mean, there are many children who are in the same situation as we saw that "Zeinab" was in. In a couple of days ago, I saw an old article in waleg about Hanan Turk "before and after". I canīt belive that they even put these cinds of stuff in the internet. I mean, we all know and have proof that Hanan did not do any plastic surgeary in her life. If you donīt belive me, then see Hananīs first movie she played. She was 16 years old in that movie and she almost look exactly like she looks now. Every thing about that article about Hanan doing plastic surgeary is wrong, not true, rediculus and rubish. Hanan is awesome! I admire her and adore her.
