Hungary’s Glamour interviews Iran ‘strong’ actress

Hungarian Magazine Glamour publishes interview with Iranian actress Maral Farjad after her battle with cancer.

The interview by Glamour Hungary that bears a title quoting the actress as a “strong woman,” revealed how Farjad has dealt with her health issue since she was diagnosed with cancer a year ago.

The magazine wrote of her way to deal with cancer, noting that she “sees [this] as one of the hardest roles of her life she has to deal with.”

She was born into an artist family and her father and sister are also great actors.

“I was diagnosed with cancer last year. At that moment, everything seemed hopeless, I felt like my life was falling apart. I underwent several surgeries and chemotherapy, all of which was visible on my appearance,” she said in the interview.

The actress added, “My face changed, I lost my hair. This is one of the biggest setbacks for an actor whose physique and appearance are important tools in their acting.”

Concerning her conditions after being diagnosed she said, “Now I am here in Budapest, where I continue my chemotherapy treatments, adding that I want to “show how strong women can be, how worthwhile it is for us to fight and to encourage everyone that there is still hope.”

Farjad has acted in movies such as ‘The Wedding Dinner’ and ‘Brick Boys’.

She has also appeared in series such as ‘The Magic Coat’, ‘Operation 125’, ‘Khatoun’, and ‘Zero Hour’.
