When was the last time you said "I love you"?
"This morning, Assaf, my cute partner, whom I married last week! We met three years ago, when he worked as VP of marketing and branding, and one of the companies he worked with was Samsung.
They did a mini-campaign of actors and network stars, approached me, and when they showed Assaf a picture of me, he got excited.
On the day of the photo shoot, Assaf showed me the device and also himself.
As soon as he approached me I picked up my sunglasses, and he said to me ‘what beautiful eyes you have.
Oh, so unprofessional on my part '- and boom.
It turned out that we sat there for a whole hour, which is something that has never happened to me in my life.
It's been three years, we've been in a Corona relationship - a lot of couples broke up because of it and it worked out well for us, because we have something very suitable between us.
It is not a shame to talk about comfort, we have a great gift, we are comfortable and easy for each other. "
When was the last time you ate meat?
"In sixth grade, by mistake. I went to someone's house from school, and her mom served us lunch. Only after I ate did she tell me it was foie gras, and I was scared because I was already a vegetarian. I'm a vegetarian since I was 8. My mom and sister were vegetarian, And I wanted to be like them. I have not lacked meat from the first day I stopped. Veganism came later, and it's just mine, no one is related to it and does not understand, but in the family accept me and my choices. Even my wedding was 100 percent vegan. Assaf is very supportive, "He claims that before me he would not have a vegan partner. To this day he eats everything. We believe in animals and let live. He will not fry chicken when I am at home, and when we want to eat outside, we will go to vegan restaurants or those that serve both."
When was the last time you gained weight?
"A year ago. My mother has weight in the bedroom, so every now and then I go up to see what the situation is, but not lately. I do measure circumferences, and I did it quite a bit because of the wedding and the wedding dress, but it's not personal and I do not deal with it. .
"Four years ago I lost weight, and during the BlackSpace I weighed 44 kilos. I was pizza and it was a bad time, I was busy eating until I felt healthy and I felt good. The director asked me to gain weight again, but I had digestive problems and could not. When I entered a calmer period. "The problem was solved. It was over, and I'm glad I'm not there. Today I weigh about 50 pounds, and I'm at a normal weight."
When was the last time you cried?
"Every day. I cry full. In my head crying is not a dramatic or special thing. I am a sensitive person, I cry from everything, I shed a tear from excitement, so yesterday I shed a tear of excitement from something cute Assaf said, and it can happen to me six times a day. I have no control over my tears, and I taught Assaf not to get excited about my crying unless it's in the middle of a fight.
"On the other hand, I do not have the ability to produce artificial crying. Precisely when I try to press it does not come out. As an actress, it is a challenge for me to cry, and I try to master different techniques and methods. I called my teacher, Shahar Rosen, and asked what we were doing, and he told me that every time something else activates us, and Hamsa I am in a good mental and marital period and I have nothing to use because everything is fine. And if what works for me right now is crying excitement, then that In that - and it worked. "
When was the last time you received a review?
"Half a year ago I received a harsh, albeit disguised, critique. That was after I was accepted for the stage 'Allah Karim'. "With my skills and the time we have to pick up the show it will not happen," and I took it to heart.Why would my skills not suffice? I had nothing to do with this review, what can I do with it? I did not close it in front of her.
"I know this is how it is in our industry. People are replaced after they are accepted for the role on the right and left, I myself have been given two roles that actresses have been given and replaced - so I will not say it's wrong. I'm just sorry she and I failed to make a connection. "There's a long way to go in everything to do with theater. It's not my forte, but it's starting to wink at me. I believe that in the end the door will open for me there."
When was the last time you were jealous?
"Now, with my actress Ben Joseph, who is also my girlfriend, who got married at a castle in Ireland, and it was perfect at a level where I could not watch her story because instead of rejoicing for her, I was jealous. It's a shame for me, jealousy. It's not something I feel much, and when I saw her The flight of 70 people to Ireland for the wedding, I felt it was better for me to just avoid watching.
"I've been on social media a lot, absolutely every day, but I do not like it. I do not find myself there, I do not want to be influential. I hope one day I will go, because there the world goes and you have to have 'no' to be successful. "I feel like everyone's faking. Rotem Sela has confessed that she hates the networks, but the majority say they enjoy it and I do not understand it. On the other hand, I do not believe that people can fake over time, so probably some of them enjoy anyway."
When was the last time your heart broke?
"In my last breakup with a former partner. It was a very big love, we were together for almost two years, but we realized we did not agree on very basic things. It was a hard breakup and it came from both of us, but even when the breakup is mutual it can still break the heart.
"I did not want to fall in love again. I lived with a friend for three weeks because I left our shared apartment, and with the friend I went through the heartbreaking stages: we ate ice cream, watched movies and I slept with her in bed while her partner slept in the living room. It was significant for my adolescence. A month and a half. "After that, I met Assaf, and when we talked about exes, I told him that I was not ready and did not want a partner, and could not be exposed like that again. He told me that he was also willing to be just my friend."
When was the last time you went on vacation?
"Last year I flew to Greece with Assaf and a couple of friends, and there he offered me marriage. I knew nothing. Our friends traveled spontaneously, and Assaf suggested we join, and we were both crazy workaholics and somehow we managed to organize it and fly with them. We are not back-stomach people, but I love Vacations because it contradicts everything I've done in my life. I can barely walk, my longest trip was a three week trip before the army I did with my sister. I love to work, and choose a job over vacations, so I do not know when we will travel again. We want to travel For a honeymoon, for a maximum of two to three weeks. "
When was the last time you got good advice?
"The best advice I got was not to treat people who update that day that they are not coming to the wedding. This is advice that put me in the mode of 'whoever comes comes - turn around, and whoever is not okay'. All my life I have had social issues. I always felt unrelated, To the point where I had to invite people to my wedding, I was stressed that they would not come in. This advice, concentrating on who the neighbor was coming from, accompanied me throughout the engagement and gave me peace on a social level.
"I stopped finding myself socially in seventh grade. I was once boycotted and once loved. Everyone was part of a gang and I was not, and it went on like this all my life. Only in training was I part of a temporary gang of girls, but it ended very quickly. So I made up for it. "With spouses, and I did not feel alone that way. And really, since the age of 14 I have not really been alone."
When was the last time you were very worried?
"I'm not a very anxious or worried person, but since I'm with Assaf - who is a perfect partner and everything is so good for us - I worry that something external will blow our good.

I wonder how long things can be perfect, because I never believed it existed."
When was the last time you taught?
"Right this month, at the school I set up, 'Start - a home for a game in front of a camera for children.' This school is my heart. Teach and manage, and now we have summer workshops. We have zoom studies and frontal studies, and we are spread from Modi'in to Pardes Hanna. I have three facts and four rotating teachers, and this school is one of my biggest dreams. I have big ambitions about it.
"Because I'm my own employer, I'm not looking for a job. I audition, and hope they want me, but an infinity of my friends are looking for a job, especially at 'Jobs IL'. "But they also explain to you how the world of employment works, what you need to know to enter it and succeed in it. It is a huge source of information for the entire employment market."
When was the last time you wore a uniform?
"Four years ago, in the reserve as an armament officer. When I enlisted, my dream was to be an armored instructor, and unfortunately I could not get to the emergency room. It was the only time I tried to make connections, but it did not work. I came fully motivated for service and really wanted to be in armor and nothing else. , But in the end I got a job in training in armament, and I enjoyed it madly. I loved the service, and I was an outstanding soldier. "To this day. I also became an officer from there. I served three years and two months. It was very clear to me all my life that I would be an actress, so why not dedicate three years of my life to something else?"
When was the last time you spent time with family?
"I meet the family every weekend in Pardes Hanna.
I am very attached to my family, burnt out on everyone and especially on my grandfather, to be healthy.
He's my dad's stepfather, he's a Holocaust survivor and an amazing man.
He's a rare personality, the best person I've ever met.
He married my grandmother and actually raised me, because my parents are careerists.
Ali learned to diaper, because he was never a father himself.
I'm an aunt to five nephews, and the sixth on the way.
With us?
"Children, this is not our plan any time soon."
When was the last time you thought about a career abroad?
"Every day. I learn English six times a week, both English and accent. I work on it on a daily basis, and my agent is aware of that, and with the help of the name I will soon be attending an acting course abroad to learn to play in English.
"Just as theater is different from a camera, acting abroad changes a lot of nuances. I'm totally into that."

When did you first take the stage?
"In fourth grade I participated in a star born competition in Pardes Hanna. I am not a singer, I have the voice of a frog, but as a child I went for it.

Of Beit Zvi, I started acting studies at the age of 14-13 and I really enjoyed the idea of a stage. After the army I already found the camera "
