Rising star Helly Shah has been shining so brightly that she has captivated admirers around the world, including super fan Aml Mahmoud from Egypt. Eastern Eye caught up with Aml to find out more.

What first connected you to Helly?


When I saw her for the first time in Swaragini I admired her character and excellent performance. I found in front of me such an amazing and unrestrained girl. She entered my heart from the first moment I saw her. She touched my heart because I saw myself in the character of Swara, a smart girl who wanted justice.

Tell us what made you become a super fan?

I became a super fan as I would wait eagerly to know for any latest information about Helly on social media and YouTube. If there’s a voting for Helly I tell everyone to vote for her, and I keep voting day and night. I post all her photos on my social media acount and try to avoid problems that may arise among fans.

Tell us about something super you have done for Helly?

It may not be something super I have done for Helly, but I try as much as I can to support her in different ways. I started to write novels about her and many people like them. Helly is the heroine of my novels. I also don’t allow anyone to say a word against her. I ask people to keep voting for her and sometimes make designs for Helly, besides posting her latest pictures.

What has been your most memorable moment?

When she read my message on her birthday and uttered my name, I was flying high.

What is the thing you most love about Helly Shah?

I love everything about her. I like her humble nature and kind-heartedness. I like how she loves and supports her friends, her positivity and achievements. She also taught me that it doesn’t matter how many times I fall, but what really matters is to stand up and try again, and to never look back. She is my source of inspiration.

What is your favourite work Helly has done?

I like all her work, but Swaragini was the first work of hers I saw and she was completely brilliant in it. So it holds a special place in my heart.

Which quality in Helly do you most relate to?

I think her positive nature and persistence are the two qualities that I relate to most.

Why do you love being a super fan?

The main reason is to support Helly at all times, in every way. I love to make everyone aware of the miracle, that is Helly Shah.
