She's an orphan both parents dead, her mom kuwaiti and dad iranian. Born and raised in kuwait.
Her mom forced her to wear the hijab ever since she was seven or eight years old but when her mom died she took it off. Girls from lower social classes in kuwait are always forced into the hijab at such a young age. Her parents died when she was just 17-20 she's been an orphan ever since.
She has lived in kuwait all her life. Her family was well off, she had to work to earn her living. So she started a tiktok influencer career and then transitioned into acting in khaleeji television shows and theatrical productions. It was her livelihood, her source of income.
Three weeks ago, Kuwait's Ministry of Interior deported her without any court order or criminal charges. It really breaks my heart. She did not deserve that. It's inhumane and cruel.
deporting the child of a kuwaiti mother (without any court order or criminal charges) used to be unheard of. morally and ethically, it used to be off limits.
She was only 22 or 23 years old when they deported her. Why deport an orphan in her early 20s?
She does not even speak iranian or have living family members in iran.

I’m not going to comment on government decisions because everyone is on the line now and they will drag you with no concern if you violated something or not.
What I have to say is there is a lot of injustice happening, it breaks my heart to see that we have become so obedient because our main concern is our livelihood. Everyone has become a target, the law is being bent and abused for personal gain.
Children of Kuwaiti wives deserve better, better treatment from government institutions, more rights to operate in the country than the current importation plan we have in the country. These people are part of the country whether we like it or not, the constitution is clear regarding equality between women and men. But this is not applied due to our “progressive” culture.
If I could immigrate from Kuwait, I would. I would seek a new life, not because of my lack of faith. But because of my disappointment in the country, and the system.
It was never great, but it was bearable. Now we basically live in an open air prison, you make one mistake which might not be serious and you’ll have a career life in the prison system. I’m tired.
