Huda El Mufti became a household name in no time. The back-then teen actress started as a fashion model at 17, and her ride to fame took off shortly after her role in Tamer Mohsen’s show Haza El Masaa’ in Ramadan of 2017. Ever since, she has starred alongside a long list of A-listers, including Youssra, Adel Emam, Karim Abdelaziz, Ahmed Ezz, Hend Sabry, and many more. Aside from her successful acting career, she was also the star of Amr Diab’s hit 2021 El Donia Beter’os music video.

In celebration of the actress’ 28th birthday, we’re listing reasons we love Huda El Mufti — apart from her evident brilliance in acting.

 

1- An Egyptian Beauty Incarnate

Undeniably, being a statuesque brunette with long legs played a significant role in Huda’s successful invasion of the fashion industry. But her original Egyptian features enable her to properly portray different characters within our society and offer familiarity to the audience.

 

2- Mental Health Advocate

It was a definite surprise to learn that someone so seemingly perfect was bullied at school. But Huda has been vocal about her struggle with bullying and is still recovering from the pain she experienced back then. She also opened up about her battle with anxiety, leading her to isolate herself from those around her. But the actress offered her secret recipe for overcoming mental exhaustion: getting up and dancing away the pain! It is hard to be vulnerable, let alone on national TV, so we’re grateful for Huda!

 

3- Stands Against Injustices

Huda mentioned in an interview that if she wasn’t an actress, she’d pursue law to help others. Her selfless devotion to others is exemplified through various incidents where she spoke her mind without restraint. Her stand against sexual harassment is crystal clear through her social media posts, and she didn’t hold back when allegations were made against certain fashion personnel.

 

4- Fashion Guru

Given that her career budded through the fashion industry, it is granted that Huda El Mufti is one of the best-dressed celebrities of her generation. And many girls look up to her when it comes to inspiration for outfits.

5- Heartbreak Anthem

How can we not be grateful that Huda may or may not have been the inspiration behind Wegz’s ElBakht? The song still topping year-end charts is rumoured to be written about the beloved actress. And even though it’s unconfirmed, we’re taking our chances by expressing our utmost gratitude for her blessing us with this year’s go-to tune when we need a tear-jerker.

We wish Huda El Mufti the happiest of birthdays; may she keep shining bright with every step she takes! And for her fans, get hyped because we’ll see more of Huda alongside Hend Sabry and Eyad Nassar in the Egyptian adaptation of The Good Wife, Mahab El Reeh, sooner than you think!

In the meantime, here are our top picks from Huda El Mufti’s filmography that are binge-worthy: Haza El Masaa2 (2017), Keira We El Gin (2022), Ka2eno Embareh (2018), Bimbo (2021), and Tah2ee2 (2022).
