6 Egyptian TV Mamas That Have Inspired Our Relationships With Our Very Own Mothers
Our moms are everything to us. They are our best friends, confidants, nurses, number one supporters, and cheerleaders; the list is endless with the titles they effortlessly wear. On this Mother’s Day, while we celebrate our mamas and the amazing relationships that we hold dear to our hearts, we also take a look back at some of the best mother figures across the span of Egyptian TV. Mother roles that we have binged with our very own moms and we might even have asked them during watching an episode or two, why can’t you be more like that mama? So here’s to our moms, on and off the screen.
Amina (Magda Zaki) – Aelat Al-Hajj Mutualiy
Amina was not only a fantastic mother to Saeed (Mostafa Shabaan), with all of her dedication to raising him and helping him achieve his dreams. She was a trailblazer for mother figures in the sense that she became one of the very first to show the idea that a mother doesn’t have to birth a child in order to be their mom. In addition to her all-around calming personality, Amina stood out for her peacemaking quality which definitely made her a great mother.
Fatma (Abla Kamel) – Lan Aeesh Fe Gelbab Aby
Who doesn’t think Fatma played by the icon Abla Kamel was a mother that we all wished was ours? From stuffing her children with food to standing up for their dreams, she definitely won the mom card. Fatma epitomized every mom hoping to see her child the very best they could be. Whether it’s through a career or with the partner they choose to spend their lives with.
Mama Noona (Kareema Mokhtar) – Yetraba Fe Ezzo
Mama Noona played by the incredible late Kareema Mokhtar was such a beautiful mother that we all wished one way or another that she was our mama. From waking up Hamada (Yehia El Fakhrany) with a gentle tone to force-feeding him, she was a unique mother all around. Their bond was unbreakable making it even more heartbreaking when she passed away.
Farida (Ghada Abdel Razek) – Ma Sabek El Asrar
Killer lawyer, Farida El Tobgy was also a great mother to her three children. I mean, is there a better mother than the one who literally murders for her children? We think not! The perfect strong mother who sought out revenge for her daughter after she was caught up in a web of lies and deceit.
Aeyda (Sawsan Badr) – Abo el Arousa
An exceptional mother! Aeyda balanced being a mother, unlike any other figure we’ve seen on television. She worked long hours while also tending to her family’s needs; always there to listen to their problems. But truly one of her noteworthy characteristics was balancing the bridal registry with her daughters on the ultimate budget.
Ahd (Yosra) – Kheynat Ahd
Similar to Magda Zaki and pretty much any other amazing actress on this list, Yosra was born to play the mother role. She has played it consistently and has played it well. From “Ayna Qalbi” to “Kheynat Ahd” her range is incredible. However, in this particular show, she surprised viewers when she seeks revenge following her son’s not-so-accidental death.
There you have it, six tv moms that though are great, can stand to learn a lesson or two from the incredible women that have raised us.
