Mahtab “Afra” was not on TV before / Reaction to a viral sequence – Mehr News Agency | Iran and world’s news
Mina Vahid, the actress of the series “Afra”, in an interview with Mehr reporter, referring to this series, which will be aired tonight by Behrang Tofighi on the One Sima network, spoke about the reasons for accepting it: After the series “Lady of the Mansion” I was offered, but I was always strict about accepting the role, so I could not accept them.
Referring to his latest TV series, he said: “Lady of the Mansion” also had very special circumstances. Azizullah Hamidnejad was an artist and special director, and this series had a good script, which made it interesting for me to be in it. The role of the jewel also had a strange character, and all this became a reason for me to play in that series.
After “Lady of the Mansion”, I did not decide to work in television
The actor of “Afra” continued: “However, after that series, I did not decide to work in television, due to the strictures that are applied in the medium of television, especially in the content that does not deal with people’s lives as it is in the reality of society.” On the contrary, everything is shown as flowers and nightingales. Of course, this may not be a bad policy, the living conditions of the people are so tragic that they may need to be given hope.
One of the reasons for accepting “Afra” was the realism in the script. Referring to the charms of “Afra” and his presence in it, he said: “One of the reasons for accepting” Afra “was the realism in the script. She decides to divorce, but in the end they continue to live for the benefit and cohesion of the family, but Mahtab is a picture of a powerful woman who is aware of her individual and social rights and with all her efforts to maintain the family, she demands her rights. It also does not pass.
The actor of “Afra” stated: Mahtab is a specialist surgeon who, on the condition of marrying her husband, has decided to go to Tehran after one year, and her husband has committed to it, but after years of living together, he will keep his commitment. It has not been and these problems have caused resentment and discouragement in their married life.
Referring to the realities of Mahtab’s character, he stated: “This woman has ambitions for which she wants to get a divorce, and the Achilles heel of this divorce is Haj Mahmoud, played by Mehdi Soltani, who raised her and supported her materially and spiritually to become a doctor.” And now Mahtab does not want to turn a blind eye to her uncle’s affections. The woman has been taking birth control pills for several years because of these problems and tells her husband that she cannot get pregnant, she is lying and what she is doing is committing adultery.
The difference between the concerns of educated young people today and the challenges of serials
Referring to the personality traits of her role, Mina Vahid said: “This situation was such that it seemed to me that I could convey it to the audience in the best way.” She is an introverted woman and she has not brought out these problems yet, she is a lonely girl and I think people believed her well until this part of the story.
The actor spoke about the need to show new and up-to-date challenges to people’s lives in the series and its impact on daily life: And their concerns are different from what is shown in the series, and if the television ignores these concerns, it loses its audience.
Reaction to the patient resuscitation sequence
In response to a question about one of the scenes in the series, which deals with the resuscitation of a dying patient using shock and caused criticism by social media users, he said: “The answer to this episode has nothing to do with me and I, as an actor, do everything.” I do what the director says, and of course I try to do it in the best way. However, for this sequence, two specialists came to Lahijan Hospital at that time and explained all the steps of resuscitation, and it was after that that the director filmed this sequence.
Referring to the feedback he has received from the audience during this period, he said: “The least problem of this generation is that their wives are cold and insignificant, and they send me a message that my wife is also cold and careless, and now the solution that comes in the script It can be a solution for people in everyday life in real life.
Mina Vahid, referring to another parallel story that is formed in the story, said: Here we see the love of two young people who are both academics, love each other and have a secret relationship that is shown in the forest, cafes and و and a hundred in One hundred of these models are banned, but there are some. At the same time, if the girl’s father and brother had not dealt with this interest so harshly, the matter would not have led to Peyman being killed.
The actor also clarified about how to work with Tawfiqi: Behrang Tawfiqi is at peace and in interaction with the actor. If we had a disagreement, we would talk about him, and if I could not convince him, I would listen to him because he was a director anyway, and in his field of expertise, I would accept. However, the script was so accurate that we did not have much of a challenge, I usually say to myself what the scripts are when I read the scripts, but this script helped me play and I liked it very much.
This script, as I read it, is accompanied by tears and bitterness in parts, but I do not think the bitterness is too much. He explained why expressing problems in serials and their impact usually leads to bitter tragedies: This script, as I read it, is accompanied by tears and bitterness in parts, but I do not think the bitterness is too much. Here we see the stubbornness of a couple and the love of two young people, problems have arisen between these families, one person has been killed and new challenges arise that have made the story more event-oriented than tragic.
The actor of “Shahrzad” also said about the theme of bitterness and sorrow in the serials: it is better that the film and the serial do not abuse the feelings of the audience. We use his emotions when we do not know how to move the script forward. There are movies and series in which a person is killed and pushes the audience to the end with the same theme, and the audience may be accompanied by it, and even this grief catharsizes (liberates) him from being the protagonist in this situation. Bitter is not set to be happy.
In response to a question about how he came from the role of Mahtab and the conflicts that exist in this character, the actor said: Mahtab has different personality dimensions. On the one hand, she is an educated woman and a surgeon, who is a unique personality, and on the other hand, she is an introverted and holistic personality, and it is more logical than sensual, and I had to show all these dimensions.
Explaining these challenges further, he added: “It is not possible for an actor to accept a role but not be involved in the circumstances of the role, because playing a role well requires understanding the details of the role and engaging with its joys and sorrows.” In the case of Mahtab “Afra”, because the character was in the most critical situation of his life, the conflict and cold life with his wife, accused of murder and deciding on the life of a child who bears a great responsibility on this woman, all the stressful days. It worked for me as an actor because I could not be separated from the moonlight mood and I wanted to create a believable moonlight.
This is my first time in business
The actor, who is currently starring in the series “Island” directed by Sirus Moghaddam, said: “Apart from the series” Island “, I am also playing in a comedy for the first time, which is a new challenge for me, and I hope to get through this double-edged sword.” I feel like I have worked enough with professional directors and serious and artistic films and series, and this is the first time I have appeared in a commercial series with this comedy. It was a challenge for me to see how I appeared in it, and of course here is a professional director at work.
He said about his presence in this commercial: “Maybe if it had been offered two years ago, I would not have accepted it and at that time I could not have taken the risk.” But now I have come to the conclusion that I can attend it. I did not stay and accept work from among the projects.
Mina Vahid commented on how much wages may affect her choices: “No one hates money, but thank God I have always been provided with and my position has been such that I do not choose to work for money.” For example, financially and even for the actor, it is better to work on platforms, but before that, a character was suggested for one of the series, which was similar to the role of a jewel in “Lady of the Mansion” and even more cruel than that, and the work is a The director was a professional. Even when I turned it down, he was surprised by the mediator offered by the project, but I thought I had already played that challenging, hated and popular character in “Lady of the Mansion” and I did not want to repeat it again. Because this repetition was so dangerous again and I did not want it to fit in people’s minds that I am so naughty.
In the end, he said about choosing his roles: “I choose a role that I can defend as a lawyer.” The lawyer even knows the weaknesses and accepts them so that he can defend them.
