Olfat Omar struggles to play Altunsi’s wife

The Egyptian actress Olfat Omar said she suffered great difficulties in portraying the character of Ihsan, the wife of the great poet Perm Altunsi in the series Ahl Alhawa. Omar attributed the complexity of the role to the lack of information about the character, which made ??her rely on her imagination for most of the detail. In remarks to Arabstoday, Olfat said: "playing that role has pros and cons. The good thing is that I don’t have to imitate the character as we don’t know much about her. While the bad thing is that I don’t have the details of her life to build the character upon. However the writer Mahfouz Abdel-Rahman and the director Omar Abdel Aziz helped me by drawing the outline of the character." The series Ahl Alhawa stars Iman Bahr Darwish, Farouq Al Fishawi and Dina.
