I hope the English-speaking world can see that I'm not only an Israeli actress.
I'm actually just an actor.
I consider myself a 'local' actor in France. I started out in France, I went to drama school in France and the French film community was very welcoming to me when I was a young actress.
I have been an actor now for 40 years having worked in over 10 countries and three languages.
I'm just an actor.
I'm an international actor, but at the same time, I'm also a Bollywood actor, even though most of my career has been abroad. However, I've always kept in touch with Hindi cinema.
Yes, I am Algerian of Moroccan origin through my parents, but all my life is Algeria. I was born there.
