After a long absence, Maya Nasri returned to the spotlight at a concert filled with nostalgia and anticipation, amid a remarkable response from the
audience, who clearly missed the artist who had been away from the scene for years. Between the concert and the press conference,
Nasri revealed a personal and human side of her journey during her absence, confirming that motherhood had been at the heart of her choices over the past few years.
Motherhood… A Dream Come True
Maya Nasri spoke candidly about her relationship with motherhood, emphasizing that her dream since childhood had been to become a mother, and that she feels this role truly “suits her.”
She said she doesn’t strive to be a perfect mother—she isn’t “perfect,”
but she wants to be a good and present mother, believing that motherhood for her isn’t just a role, but a long-held dream that has found its true place in her life.
Her words reveal that stepping away from the arts was not so much a departure from her passion as it was a choice to prioritize a family and personal phase of her life that she felt deserved her full attention.
Between a Love of Art and a Love of Motherhood
When faced with the choice between singing and motherhood, Maya refused to limit herself to just one option.
She affirmed that she loves singing “without a doubt,” but at the same time, she loves motherhood and all the love it brings her.
For her, returning to the arts does not mean giving up this aspect of her life, but rather finding a way to strike a balance between being an artist and a mother.
Returning to Acting… A Well-Thought-Out Decision
As for her return to acting, Nasri clarified that the move won’t be haphazard or simply for the sake of returning to the screen,
but rather a well-considered one, in line with the current stage of her life.
She noted that the decision to return is also linked to her ability to maintain a family balance,
emphasizing the importance of her husband being there for the family during her work periods, as her responsibilities as a mother have become an essential part of any professional decision she makes.
From the Lebanese University to the Screen
Nasri spoke about her artistic background, noting that she is a graduate of the Lebanese University with a major in theater acting,
an academic background that shaped her relationship with art and acting.
After years away from the field, her return seems to her like an opportunity to seek out roles that align with her current experience,
simply a return to the presence she once had.
Greater Openness to Different Art Forms
Speaking about today’s art scene, Nasri called for greater openness to various genres of music and art,
emphasizing the importance of respecting everyone and listening to different artistic styles.
She believes her perspective on content has also changed since becoming a mother, as she now thinks more about what her children hear and see,
and what art can offer the new generation.
Will she return to singing?
As for singing, Nasri hasn’t closed the door on it. On the contrary, she mentioned that certain songs and music still “tickle her emotions,”
suggesting that her passion for singing hasn’t faded despite her years away from the stage.
At the same time, however, she did not promise a quick return, but left the door open for gradual steps, saying, “Little by little, God willing.”
A night that confirms the audience has not forgotten Maya Nasri
Between her appearance on stage and her interaction with the audience, Maya Nasri’s return this evening carried a clear message: her long absence has not erased her presence from her fans’ memories.
And while motherhood defined the previous phase of her life, her return today feels like the beginning of a new chapter,
in which Maya seeks to balance her roles as a woman, a mother, and an artist, and to return to the arts on terms that suit her today—not as they were in the past.
