What made you decide to film for the second season of The Real Housewives of Dubai?
- I’ve been in the entertainment world since I was nine years old. The opportunity kind of fell into my lap and lined up with where I was in my life. So I said: "Why not? We only live once!".
How well were you introduced into the friendship group of The Real Housewives of Dubai? Was everyone friendly?
- I met most of the girls about a year before filming (except Caroline Brooks; who I’ve known since I moved to Dubai). Mostly everyone was warm and friendly.
Did filming for the show meet your expectations?
- I honestly expected a lot of it to be scripted, but everything the viewers saw was real. I also really bonded with the producers and crew. They work so hard and you spend more time with them than your actual family. It’s intense daily filming for months.
How did you find the taping of the 'Reunion'?
- Exhausting, and nerve-wracking as it was my first, but all-in-all, I feel like the truth came to the surface and people who needed to be called out, were. It’s so long though which I don’t think people realize. I was up at 5am, had my make-up and hair done at 6am, and taping was from 9am-7pm with only one forty-five minute break (that’s also filmed).
Were you expecting the cancellation of RHODubai?
- We are not officially cancelled. We are on pause. I’m not too surprised because I know it’s probably very expensive to film out here. I’m hopeful we will come back but I think it will take some time.
Post the show’s cancellation, do you hang out with any of your former co-stars?
- Since the pause, I mostly hang out with Chanel Ayan and Caroline Stanbury. We speak almost everyday. Ayan is a rider. I honestly consider her family. She has one of the purest souls I’ve met. I have a lot of respect for her given what she’s been through and how far she’s come in life. Sara and I are friends too. She really had my back at 'Reunion' and I’ll never forget that. We don’t hang out too much though because we are in different social circles but I have a lot of love for her.
Is there a fun fact about you that was not shared to viewers on your season that you’d be willing to share with us now?
- Well, not so much about me, but my Grandfather who’s not with us anymore, was a famous cardiologist and treated Dr. Martin Luther King back in the day. It was life saving. He has a framed letter from the King and his Wife.
What is life like post your time on the show?
- Hectic as usual. Being a Mommy, socialite and starting up my fitness business with my Sister takes up a lot of my time. My biggest struggle is finding the balance. I also get women who reach out to me or come up to me and tell me how they could relate to me on the show which makes me happy. I was my honest self and I’m glad people saw that.
If you were to star on an American edition of The Real Housewives franchise: which instalment would you choose — and why?
- I think The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills because I lived in Los Angeles for eight years. I consider it my second home. It will always have a big piece of my heart. I also know that I would bring the extra fun to that cast!
Would you consider doing another reality TV show — or even an The Real Housewives: Ultimate Girls Trip season?
- Never say never. I think if it aligned with where I am in my life and can help me in other areas of my life such as my business I would do it. It would have to be the right show though. I wouldn’t do a show just to do a show. The concept would need to make sense for me.
