Howa wa Heya, (“Him and Her”, “ هو و هي” ) is an Egyptian television drama, that aired for the first time during Ramadan in 1985.
[1][2] Hosni was awarded the Transtel (now part of Deutsche Welle) Prize at the African Union of Broadcasting conference in 1985 for her role in the series.
[3] Howa wa Heya is based on a series of short stories columnist Sanaa al-Bisi wrote in Al-Ahram in the early 1980s about a range of social issues couples faced.
[1] Each episode presented Hosni and Zaky as completely different couples: dating, married, divorced, former lovers, intersecting themes such as jealousy, house hunting, work, and family.
[2] Although 30 episodes were intended to be aired, as is the Egyptian television drama norm, conflicts between Hosni and director Yahia al-Alamy, saw only ten produced.
