I’m asking myself now, ‘What is the next step after Sophia?’ģ-You’ve made decisive career choices before though. I am afraid my next step after Sophia will not achieve the same success, I am scared also about making a bad choice in the future. It exceeded all my expectations and scared me.īecause I want to keep up that success. All the actors and the actresses are popular and have huge fan bases and the series’ era is loved by most-people usually have a certain kind of nostalgia toward Egypt in the 1940s and 1950s, the quiet, peaceful and elegant Egypt, but I didn’t expect at all the huge success of Sophia’s character specifically. I expected the series to succeed because the entire cast exerted a lot of effort, and it is directed by Hany Khalifa.

Mokkadem stopped by for a chat at Egypt Today’s offices to talk about the challenging role, her career choices so far and the characters she enjoyed bringing to life.ġ-Sophia was everyone’s favorite character in Layali Eugenie. The much-loved protagonists impressed as the star-crossed lovers, but when it came to surprise performances, the biggest name on everyone’s lips was Sophia, the powerful comeback role turned in by Ingy el-Mokkadem. Everthing about Layali Eugenie (Eugenie Nights) had viewers talking whether it was about the dramatic storylines, gorgeous costumes or the little details the period drama managed to effortlessly pull off. The backdrops, location and even the props. From Lina to Dija to Sophia, Injy el-Mokkadem talks about her character transformations and how she carries a little of each of the women inside her. This strong, independent actress is wisely choosing her groundbreaking roles.
