Life is about what we make out of its ups and downs. We have the choice to fall or to rise. #zahraamirebrahimi, the winner of #cannes2022 for best actress has a life story worth of inspiring a movie. Many have said that her winning at Cannes is similar to the story of Phoenix rising from the ashes. Why? What is the story behind the life of the actress who received 6 minutes of #standingovation when credits for the fillm #holyspider were rolling? She gained fame and popularity in Iranian 🎥 through her roll in TV series: Narges(#نرگس). At the height of her fame in 2006, a video of her lovemaking to a young man leaked to the Internet and then a DVD. The movie of her private moment was being sold in the streets if Tehran. She was arrested, interrogated and charged with making an obscene movie. The result: She left Iran. She left the fame and success she had gained and remained silent until 2019 that the person who had recorded and leaked the movie stepped forward and confessed. She could have mourned her life from that moment on as she did in those first few months, when she was ostracized by the society and her colleagues and stayed home most of the time and, if she ventured out, did so hiding behind dark glasses and a scarf pulled over her forehead. She could have stayed depressed, cursed her misfortune and buried all her dreams. But she did not and life treated her differently. Today, a lot of people celebrate 🍾 your moment with you not only because of your talent but because of your persistence, resilience and zeal to reach for the stars. Heartfelt congratulations!
