<p>The first episode of&nbsp;Ashghal Shaqah Gedan&nbsp;quickly became a standout, not just for its lighthearted moments and strong chemistry between the actors, but also because of a special appearance that had viewers talking. A Nigerian maid character captivated audiences, leading many to search for the actress behind the role.</p>
<p>That actress is Islam Mubarak, a talented Sudanese star making her debut in Egyptian drama. Mubarak had already established herself as a prominent actress in Sudan, gaining international recognition when her 2021 film&nbsp;&ldquo;You Will Die at 20&rdquo;&nbsp;became the first Sudanese film nominated for an Oscar. She further expanded her repertoire with a role in&nbsp;&ldquo;Day: A Biography of the People of the Day&rdquo;, written by Haitham Dabour and directed by Karim El-Shenawy, which was recently screened at the Berlin Film Festival.</p>
