Entering the World of Acting

Leyli Rashidi’s first appearances occurred during childhood through productions connected to her family’s artistic activities.

These early experiences introduced her to cameras, rehearsals, and stage performances long before acting became her profession.

Her first major cinematic appearance came in 1991 when she acted in Delshodegan, directed by the legendary filmmaker Ali Hatami.

Working alongside accomplished actors early in her career provided valuable experience and established a strong foundation for future success.

Although her role in the film was relatively early in her career, participating in one of Ali Hatami’s productions remains a significant milestone.

The film itself is considered one of the classics of Iranian cinema, celebrated for its historical setting, musical themes, and exceptional performances.

For Rashidi, it marked the beginning of a professional acting journey that would continue for more than thirty years.
