Since her debut at the beginning of the millennium, actress Zeina has established herself as one of the most prominent stars of her generation, thanks to her genuine talent and ability to portray complex roles with simplicity and depth.

Zeina didn't chase after the spotlight; instead, she sought out unique roles that would resonate with audiences, whether in film or television drama, through which she found her way into people's hearts. Today, Zeina returns to the screen with a new series titled "Roses and Chocolate," presenting a human experience that balances tenderness and harshness, sweetness and bitterness, as the title suggests. Zeina spoke about the details of her role, the reason she accepted it, and what this experience means to her.

Actress Zeina stated that the series "Roses and Chocolate" represents an exceptional experience for her because it is based on a true story full of twists and turns and complex emotions. She explained that the series follows a woman's journey as she grapples with a conflict between dreams and disappointments, strength and vulnerability, in the face of a harsh and unforgiving reality.

She added that the series consists of only ten episodes and is being streamed on a digital platform. She noted that the brevity of the episodes gives the events a fast and intense pace, preventing any unnecessary length and focusing instead on the characters' humanity. Zeina said she decided to complete filming despite the pain because the cast and crew were waiting for her. 

She emphasized that the experience taught her how deeply she cares about her profession and her determination to work regardless of the circumstances. She added that filming took place in an intense and challenging environment, but it was filled with team spirit, and everyone involved believed in the story and the message the series conveys.

Zeina indicated that this role represents a turning point in her artistic career because it resonates with the essence of the modern woman who tries to reconcile her emotions and responsibilities in a world full of contradictions. 

She affirmed that the character is not like her in any way, but she sees her as an extension of every woman who hides her pain with a smile. Zeina emphasized that "Roses and Chocolate" is not just a series about love, but about the human contradictions we all carry within us, between sweetness and bitterness, between strength and fragility. She indicated that she is betting on the authenticity of the work more than anything else.
