Hend Sabry: “Ola is the closest character to me of all the ones I have presented”

 

 

 

 

 

Megastar Hend Sabry revealed new information about the second season of her Netflix original series “Finding Ola,” which was released on September 26. 

 

 

 

 

Hend Sabry mentioned that in season two of "Finding Ola," the 6-episode series addressed topics that women everywhere experience but may feel uncomfortable dealing with.

 

 

 

“In the series “Finding Ola,” I address topics that are often overlooked but are prevalent in every household. I believe these are more important to discuss than a rare occurrence like murder,” Sabry said.

 

 

 

 

 

About the relationship between Ola ( Hend Sabry) and Nesrine ( Nada Moussa) In the series, Sabry said that despite being close friends, Ola and Nesrine are opposite to each other, and this is what creates balance in their relationship. 

 

 

 

Sabry further explained that Ola in “Finding Ola” season two is still searching for herself. 

 

 

 

“I think the most appropriate thing I can say about Ola is a sentence written by one of the scriptwriters of the second season, Hana Mahmoud. This sentence describes Ola as follows: 'You always prefer searching for yourself like a pendant of keys. You forget it, then you find it, then you forget it, then you find it, and you keep searching for it. It is a long journey, and every time it has different and new challenges. Sometimes it affects the balance you have established in your life, so you are forced to create everything again,” Sabry said. 

 

 

 

Hend Sabry added: "I supervised the scriptwriting procedures of the second season of “Finding Ola” because I always feel that Ola is a part of me. I know her details well, and I know how ola thinks and how she will always act. Ola is the closest character to me of all the ones I have presented. I lived with Ola for about two and a half years."

 

Sabry mentioned that the main challenge she encountered in the procedure of writing the second season of “Finding Ola” was living up to the high expectations set by the success of the first season. “Viewers have high expectations and feel a personal connection to Ola, treating her as if she is their cousin,” Sabry added.

 

 

 

Sabry confirmed: “I feel like I’m in a circus. I’m always trying to balance between my personal life and my work. My daughters are growing up, my parent is getting older, and the demands of both my family and work are growing bigger.”

 

 

 

 

 

As for Hend Sabry's relationship with Dhafer L'Abidine, she said that her relationship with him is deep, there is great chemistry between her and Dhafer, and she feels comfortable working with him.

 

 

 

Sabry indicated: "Dhafer L'Abidine, his wife, and daughter are all fans of season one of “Finding Ola” and when I met his daughter, she started telling me about the series, and this made him more willing to participate because he loves the world of the series.”

 

 

 

Sabry explained the reasons behind choosing Paris saying “ The development of the plot made Ola travelled to Paris, especially that from “Finding Ola” season one, Montasser ( Mahmoud El Leithy) said he wants to go to Paris. It was very difficult for me because I was a translator, producer, and actress, but we laughed a lot.”
