Golab Adineh, who is married to veteran actor Mehdi Hashemi, said that if she were to give away her Crystal Simorgh to anyone, she would definitely give it to her husband.

She has acted in over 10 films and says she likes them all.

Golab Adineh was born in Tehran and is a graduate of Tehran’s Shahid Beheshti University. She began her artistic career in 1975 in a student theater troupe named Pedestrian directed by Mehdi Hashemi and Dariush Farhang, and acted in the plays “Citizen”, “A Story Not So New”, “Madame Pi Pi”, and “Mechanical People”.

She later continued her thespian work in the films “Rasul, Son of Abolqassem” directed by Dariush Farhang and “Shepherds of the Desert” directed by Hossein Mahjub.

She was awarded a Crystal Simorgh for best supporting actress for her role in the film “Blue Veil” at the 13th Fajr Film Festival. She was also a nominee for best actress for her role in the film “Mom’s Guest” at the 22nd Fajr festival.

She is currently busy writing and directing several plays for children and has established a children’s troupe named Pearl.

He said that the awards have greatly influenced his works, adding, “Even if there were no award, but I was just told that my music was good, it would have its effect on my next work.”
