Recent Roles

Her most recent role was as Huda in the Bahraini television show Hudu'u wa Awasif (Silence and Storms), in which she plays a confused and tragic beauty who cannot decide between the true love of her life, a poor yet passionate man who cannot live without her, and her boss. Although she decides to marry her boss, a stance that will render her socially secure, she is plagued with guilt about the life that she has left behind and experiences brief encounters with her true love. Meanwhile, the family she has abandoned is falling apart; her father is steeped in illness and her sister is falling into the dangerous business of prostitution. In the end, very few of the conflicts are resolved. Her father dies as a result of his discovery of his daughter's prostitution and her sister, the prostitute, is haunted by visions of her father and later becomes insane. Huda herself becomes tragically ill at the conclusion the series and dies. At her deathbed sat her husband whilst her true love peered in from the square window on the door. As she slowly descends into oblivian, she mutters "I am a bird and so I cannot be caged, I must be free so that all can love me". With this, Huda dies and the show ends.
