"Who would want to hack into my Instagram? I'm not Kim Kardashian."

One morning in early spring, shortly after the outbreak of the corona crisis, Shani Atias (29 and a half) woke up and became a little different.

It happened right after the first thing she, like the rest of the beautiful and famous actresses and models, does every morning.

"I logged into my Instagram account," she recalls, "and suddenly I see that everything has been deleted. The account has been deleted. There are no followers."

Shema Israel.

"Absolutely. It turns out that some hacker hacked into my account. At first I was really stressed about it. I thought to myself 'Who would want to hack into my Instagram? I'm not Kim Kardashian or anything like that. Like, what will he get out of it?'. Then I slowly started digesting what happened. And in the end, instead of rushing and starting all over again, I came to the conclusion that changed my approach to life from end to end. I realized that all this life around Instagram and followers is an illusion. It's not the real thing. We grow up to live this race, which seems natural to us, This is nonsense".

Still, Bassa.

It is an important tool nowadays.

"Obviously it was not happy, but I felt it did not just happen. Things do not just happen and if it did then I probably have a bigger lesson here. It sharpened me to do other content, something with greater value for me."

Atias, a decade younger than her famous sister Moran, did not linger.

She quickly picked up a few phone calls to friends in Hollywood, set up an impromptu home studio with them, and created a series of Instagram interviews under her direction entitled "Road to Success."

Since opening a new Instagram account, she has managed to gain only about 11,000 followers, but these are now enjoying quality content: Atias, with surprising talent as an interviewer and conquering genius, talks there with Israeli and Jewish successful people in the United States, including Duvdev (Amit Duvdevani) from Infected Mushroom, the actress Alona Tal, director Guy Nativ, choreographer Eden Shabtai and Warner Music World Vice President Eitan Ben Horin.

The Corona crisis, of course, also plays an important part in the execution of the personal project and in the image transformation that Atias is going through these days - a beautiful and quite silent actress and model for a talented and intelligent interviewer (though still, what to do, very photogenic).

"Last May, I was approached to host a virtual fundraising event for a fundraising organization for medical teams in LA," she says.

"Suddenly I saw that you can produce things that look really great even in very limited conditions. It just looked amazing and I got a lot of reactions to it. I realized you don't need Warner to shoot a project. You can reach very high standards anyway, at home."

Leave the production, come on.

You serve naturally, from birth.

"Really? It's because I'm having a lot of fun doing it. I'm a person who listens, advises and gives. Usually the spot is on me as an actress, so this time I wanted to focus on other people's dreams. In the process it turned out I rediscovered myself a bit."

She is in Haifa now, visiting Corona with her parents, but in about a second she returns to the big dream in LA, where her husband has been waiting for her for about two years, the Jewish-American businessman with his first name and last name rhyming with each other and the word "dream" - Tom Shalom - She said goodbye to him a month and a bit ago.

Despite the corona, she says that she also expects some future projects there - filming in March and April for Israeli films and co-productions that she is still not allowed to reveal details about.

So far, Atias - a graduate of Lee Strasberg's acting school - has been cast there for the hit series "Shameless", "CSI Cyber", "Ten Days in the Valley", movies like Lost Boy and Devil's Night and international commercials - among others , For Samsung.

Her most recent role in Hollywood was in the NCIS thriller series Los Angeles alongside rapper and actor L.A. Cole J., with whom she befriended on the set.

"There was a day when I came to the set and suddenly I hear in Paul Volium the song 'And if you come to me' by Idan Raichel in Paul Volium," she says.

"It turned out to me that AL Cole Jay put it especially for me. He's very knowledgeable about Israeli music, by the way. In short, we took an unattached microphone and sang it together, like that, on the set of a police series. He even knew the lyrics. "It completely ignited my desire to sing. Thanks to that, I started to take my hair singing in zoom."

In Israel, Atias is best remembered for her role as Natalie Roas in the teen series "Gallis" and perhaps also a bit from the "Delta" lingerie campaign.

Beyond that and some esoteric roles in movies and series she has not really penetrated the local industry and for the most part she is still portrayed under the title "Sister of" - a pedigree that she says bothers her less today than in the past.

About her Wikipedia, by the way, there is no reference to her sister (other than mentioning her name) - which raises astonishment at the fact that her anonymous parents' occupation is actually mentioned there: her mother Yael is a lawyer, her father Mordechai is a furniture importer.

"Feel free to update it if you want," she suggests.

"Not really - go for it. Have fun."

At the same time, she wants to clarify an important matter: "I did not try to follow Moran. I was eight years old - a girl who sees a 'wild doll' and wants to be an actress - even before she even knew she wanted to be an actress. When she turned to acting, I was already in high school acting. ".

I guess language and there people ask you to send her compliments.

How does it feel?

"I'm very happy to do it. She's my sister. I'm proud of her. It's the happiest thing in the world. We're in a great relationship, very good friends, very close. We also have a similar vision in many things. If I need professional or personal advice, I totally can "Contact her. You know, at some point the age gap blurs. Today we are two mature women talking in the same babble."

And invited to those auditions?

"Yes, sometimes it happens. When you need a Mediterranean character for a series or movie, you always call her, me and my girlfriend, Odelia Halevi. We all always meet at auditions for these roles, but to this day it has not happened that there was a role I wanted and Moran took or vice versa. "Obviously I'll apologize to her."

She defines her fashionable self as "the queen of jeans and T-shirts, with a touch of some shoe, bag, bracelet, something."

"I'm not a shopping girl, but I really like amazing jewelry," she admits.

"During the Corona period I try not to get completely sucked into my pajamas and keep the rituals I had before, but it's hard to persevere with it. Over time it has become a choice between Sweat A and Sweat B."

Still, fashion still employs her.

"During my visit to Israel, it was important for me to initiate an Israeli fashion production that would support local designers, so I produced something like this (the attached production) and now I also run an Instagram campaign where people are photographed with clothes by Israeli designers," she says. Israeli".

As of today, in the face of the corona plague raging on the west coast of the United States, Atias' Hollywood dream is somewhat modest and familial.

"I belong to Israel and I never say I left the country because life is dynamic and it is impossible to know what a day child is. On the other hand, right now Tom and I are counting the days and hours leading up to my return to LA - and I'm just concentrating on that."

What about the next step?

"What, boy? Yes, it's entirely in my thoughts. I can not decide when to do it. It's supreme providence, but it's definitely in my mind and will right now."

Successfully.

Are there more dreams on the agenda?

"Ah… let's say I wish for myself to continue to be in self-search, self-precision and self-acceptance, and to continue to choose an endeavor that does me and others good."
