Tara Emad

Born to a Montenegrin mother, Tara Emad is basically a star with that striking mix of Egyptian and Eastern-European features most people would kill for. She started off as a model—did the rounds in Egypt and France, got her face on every billboard and runway worth mentioning—before making a name for herself as an actress. She’s got a real knack for picking roles that actually show what she can do, not just the same old pretty face routine. Tara broke out with hits like SAHEB EL SAA'DA, acting alongside Adel Emam (yeah, the legend himself). She didn’t stop there—shows like BEN AL SARAYAT, SABAA BANAT, and films like EL-HARAM EL-RABE just kept stacking up on her resume. Fast forward a bit, she teamed up with Mohamed Adel Emam for LAM’IE EL OTT, and made a conscious move towards cinema with DIAMOND DUST—big box office numbers, by the way. She’s dipped into everything: thrillers like 122, theatre with ALADDIN and HADI VALENTINE, even the musical comedy scene, and let’s not forget her wild ride in THE BLUE ELEPHANT: DARK WHISPERS, which basically broke Egyptian cinema records. She’s not shy about experimenting—her turn in THE BLUE ELEPHANT showed off some moves (literally) no one expected. Tara’s everywhere—magazine covers, ad campaigns, even social media. She’s been in everything from Ramadan serials to cross-Arab collaborations like the Gucci Show. Her recent projects? EL MATAREED, AKHI FAWK EL SHAGARA, and a cool guest spot in a Ramadan series. If you haven’t seen her work yet, honestly, what are you even watching?
