Biography

Born on 7 February 1983,[4][5] Aïcha Ben Ahmed was the daughter of a Tunisair captain.

She began her career as an actress in 2010, taking a small part in Nada Mezni Hafaiedh's feature film Histoires tunisiennes. [6] The following year she was given a part in the Syrian film Mon dernier ami directed by Joud Said.[2]

In 2012, appearing as Nadia in the television series Pour les beaux yeux de Catherine, she became well known in Tunisia. She then played Zohra in Mohamed Damak's Tunisian feature film Jeudi après-midi (2013).[7]

She went to Egypt in 2015 to appear first in Raouf Abdel Aziz's television series Les Mille et une nuits.[6] She had been specially selected to play the role of Qamar Zamen, an amnesiac who tried to establish her identity.[2] Her role as the heroine in Sonia Chamkhi's Narcisse (in Arabic Aziz Rouhou) was particularly effective.[8] She went on to win the award for best actress at the 2016 Al Hoceïma Film Festival in Morocco.[3] She also appeared in Férid Boughédir's Ziou or Parfum de printemps which was awarded the "best film" prize at the 2016 Cairo Film Festival.[9][2]

Still in Egypt, in 2017, Ben Ahmed played the part of Nuha in Tarek Al Eryan's film The Cell.[10] She has also recently starred in two Egyptian television series: as Laila in Aigle de la Haute Egypte, for which she was required to cultivate the local accent, and in Flèches filantes where she played a terrorist.[11]
