“I am sure that the circumstances of remote study will be a great incentive for you to make your parents happy, and make them forget the hardship of this situation,” said the 60-year-old Moroccan star, referring to the health and economic crises.
“All you have to do is focus on your study and success will be your ally. You will make your parents and family proud, so you can spend holidays later with ease. One has to have the will and the ambition to achieve what you want,” he underlined.
Khouyi is an iconic Moroccan actor who has long appeared in cinema and television series. His last appearance was during Ramadan with the TV series “Salamat Abou Al Banat,” in which he played the role of a conservative father of seven girls.
