Shadia, what is her definition of happiness?
The title "The Screen's Darling" was given by the late editor-in-chief of Al-Mawed magazine, Badih Serbey, to the late great star, Shadia, since the beginning of her artistic career. In an interview with Al-Mawed magazine in 1978, she said about her concept of happiness: "What makes me happy today will not make me happy tomorrow. Happiness is what I need at the time, and it stems from my psychological state or my work circumstances. What makes me happy now, for example, before anything else, is that all the artistic work I do, whether singing or acting, succeed. By nature, I hate routine and I am not attracted to today being like yesterday, nor tomorrow being like today."
