Syrian artist Said Mineh has revealed some details about his personal life during childhood, mentioning his late father, writer Hanna Mineh, whom he described as "dictatorial."
In an interview with the program "Shu Al-Qissa" hosted by Lebanese journalist Rabea Zayyat, Said Mineh stated that his father was harsh and difficult to deal with, especially with his children. Mineh added that his father was serious and strict in his dealings and favored successful individuals in life, which led him to treat him with severity. He explained that he did not have a childhood like other children of his generation due to the age gap of over 47 years between them, which created many difficulties.
Mineh admitted that he faced physical punishment in his childhood for the mistakes he made, yet he confirmed that his father had other aspects and paternal feelings that he did not openly show to his family, due to his preoccupation with writing. The Syrian artist considers himself to be much easier and kinder in dealing with his children compared to his father Hanna Mineh, who instilled a sense of fear during their childhood.
It is noteworthy that Said Mineh's latest works include the series "Brokir," written by Samir Hazzim and directed by Muhammad Zuhair Rjeb, as well as his participation in the series "Harakat Banat." Additionally, Mineh revealed that his father, the writer, did not adhere to a specific religion, but rather considered his faith to be humanity, wishing well for everyone, while he himself does not practice religious rituals.
