The audience did not know her except through one role with the artist Najib Al-Rihani in the movie “Salamah fi Khair”, which left a clear imprint as a comedian despite her short role and the lack of her dialogue scenes. She is the artist Amina Zhni.
In the movie “Salamah fi Khair” written by Badi’ Khairi in 1937, Amina Zohni embodied the role of “Souta”, the mother of Ferdous Muhammad and the light-hearted mother-in-law of Najib al-Rihani, and her role had an impact on the course of the film’s events, and it achieved great success. My mind appeared on the screen once and suddenly disappeared without anyone knowing what happened to it before the mystery of her disappearance was revealed by Badi Khairy in his memoirs.
Amina Zohli was Najeeb al-Rihani’s neighbor in the Bab al-Sharia area, and he would check on her from time to time, as she used to live with her only daughter after her husband’s departure. She took care of her daughter by selling vegetables, refusing all financial assistance from him.
Najib Al-Rihani decided to help her in another way, so he asked her to appear with him in some scenes in the movie “Salama Fi Khair” in the role of his mother-in-law, and she agreed immediately and began filming her scenes and filled the scenes with comedy and she looked a lot at the camera and drank cigarettes, but the scenes were depicted as they are without replay.
Najib Al-Rihani gave Mrs. Amina Zhni 50 pounds, and she was then given to the second actor in the movie. Amina Zhni did not believe herself at this time, and Najib drove her to the door of the studio and stopped a taxi specially for her and asked him to drive her home because he would finish his work at six in the morning.
The next day, Najib Al-Rihani was surprised that Amina did not reach her home and disappeared completely, and the incident of her disappearance remained a great mystery that baffled the artistic community and the police force. Najeeb Al-Rihani made her will and took care of her daughter until she got married and traveled to Germany. One day, Najib Al-Rihani died before he knew the mystery of her disappearance.
27 years later, a thug was sentenced to death for the murder of a friend of hers. During the investigations, he confessed to killing an old woman while she was riding a taxi with him in front of a studio in downtown.
He said that he saw her in the mirror of the car while she was counting the money and decided to change the direction of his walk and entered her into the desert and stopped suddenly and told her that the car broke down and she had to find another means of transportation. The wolves ate her, and only her cut clothes were left.
