Emerging Saudi artist Lama Al-Kinani surprised her wide audience and artistic circles by announcing her official and final retirement from the field of acting, thus ending a short artistic journey in its time but celebrated with many successes and remarkable steps.
Al-Kinani revealed her unexpected decision through an explicit post she posted on her personal account on the "Snapchat" application, where she sent a direct farewell message to her followers, confirming that she will completely and definitively stop standing in front of the cameras and engaging in dramas from now on.
Justifications and convictions
The retired artist explained that the decision to step away was not born of the moment or as a result of external pressures dictated to her from any side, but came after deep reflection and a comprehensive re-evaluation of her personal and professional priorities during the past period. She pointed out that she is fully convinced that fame and quick success alone do not represent enough motivation to continue in the artistic work environment, stressing her preference to take this step at a time that she deems appropriate for her life and her own future, even if some do not agree with this approach.
Artistic beginnings
Al-Kinani started her career from the content creation portal on social media platforms, where she achieved a remarkable presence and follow-up, before moving to the world of fashion and fashion shows in the Kingdom.
The series "Trad" was her first dramatic stop, through which she presented a small role that succeeded in attracting the attention of directors and decision-makers, which opened the doors for her to participate in more in-depth and extensive drama and television projects in the Gulf.
The Saudi artist achieved her most prominent quality transfer in the artistic career by embodying the character of "Aziza" in the series "Al-Asha Street", a role that received widespread public interaction and received multiple critical acclaims.
The second season of the work, which was shown during the holy month of Ramadan 2026 (corresponding to March and April), witnessed complex dramatic developments and intense psychological struggles that highlighted the promising acting abilities of the young star before announcing her full time away from the world of art and drama.
Questions and the future of work
The news of his sudden retirement sparked a wave of broad questions among followers of the series "Al-Asha Street" about the fate and future of the character "Aziza" in the coming seasons, amid mixed speculation about the production company's resort to permanently excluding the character from the script or replacing him with another actress to complete the dramatic line.
At the end of her farewell message, Al-Kinani was keen to express her tremendous thanks and gratitude to all those who supported her and provided her with support and encouragement in the artistic and republican circles since her first appearance on the screens.
