Artist Mohamed Tharwat revealed that his father, who was the coach of the Saudi national athletics team and a fan of films and plays, took him to watch a Samir Ghanem play as a special birthday gift. Mohamed grew up watching many films with his father and developed a fondness for Samir Ghanem’s performances, often imitating him. The play they attended was ‘Fares Bani Kheiban,’ and Mohamed kept a photo with Samir Ghanem from that day, which he later showed to him when they worked together on the series ‘Lahfa.’
