Sandy Ali, born in 1981, is a Tunisian actress celebrated for her work in Arabic cinema and television. Before transitioning to acting, she gained recognition for her athletic prowess as a volleyball player in Tunisia. After graduating from the Faculty of Commerce in 2003, Ali moved to Cairo to pursue an acting career. She made her debut in a supporting role in Malaki Alexandria and went on to appear in films like ‘Fi Mahatet Masr,’ ‘Zarf Tarek,’ and ‘Kheyana Mashrou’a,’ showcasing her versatility.
Outside of her acting career, Ali is also known for her distinctive fashion sense, blending Y2K aesthetics with bohemian flair and playful elements.
