She explained that in this performance, she plays the role of a veiled woman from a specific segment of society, and in her opinion, this role is very beloved and valuable. She said: 'This play is being judged and criticized for no reason. I am playing the role of a woman who should be supported.'

Call for Cultural Promotion
