After this success she made another mini-series called Kids Are Going Crazy.

In 2001, she made a movie with Ashraf Abdel Baqi called Rasha Gareea and another in 2005 with Mostafa Qamar named Hareem Karim, which talks about a broken hearted woman who thought that her husband cheated on her when he did not so he tries to tell her the truth by calling his college. She also starred in dramatic movies like Farhan Molazem Adam and Qalb Gariee.[citation needed]
