Azadeh Samadi (Persian: آزاده صمدی; born 7 January 1979) is an Iranian actress. She has received various accolades, including a Fajr Film Festival Honorary Diploma, in addition to nominations for a Hafez Award, a Crystal Simorgh, and an Iran's Film Critics and Writers Association Award.[1]

Early life

[edit | edit source]

Azadeh Samadi was born on September 8, 1979, in Lahijan.[2] After completing her undergraduate theater studies at Soore University, she completed a course of acting classes (supervised by Parviz Parastooi). She played in the theater production "Behir and Sugar", and after some time was chosen to play in the TV series "The Endless Way" directed by Homayoun Asadiyan. She has performed in the short films "35 meter water level" and "blue teeth", directed by Hooman Seyyed as well as "No One Talking to Anyone".

Azadeh Samadi married Houman Seyyedi in 2006.[3] But this marriage ended in divorce in 2013.[4] Azadeh Samadi was one of the artists supporting Mir Hossein Mousavi during the 2009 presidential election.[5]

Samadi hosted the Zabiwaka program, which was broadcast on the Iowa Internet network for the 2018 World Cup in Russia.[6] And Behrang Alavi, as his replacement, took over the implementation of this program. According to the agents close to this program, while Azadeh Samadi was supposed to be the host of this program, it was announced by the Radio and Television. As a result, it was decided to change her.

Personal life

Controversies

[edit | edit source]

Zabivaka

[edit | edit source]

Azadeh Samadi hosted the program Zabivaka, which was broadcast on the online platform Ayo for the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia. After the first episode, supervisors from the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) halted Samadi's participation during the second episode, citing concerns over the "instrumental use of women." Majid Yaser and Ali Ansarian took over as hosts of the program.[8]

Opposition to Mandatory Hijab

[edit | edit source]

On May 21, 2023, Azadeh Samadi attended the funeral of Reza Haddad without adhering to Iran's mandatory hijab policy, an action that was widely praised by social media users.[9] Following this event, the prosecutor at Tehran's Culture and Media Court issued an order for Samadi's indictment, charging her with violating public morals and decency due to her non-compliance with the mandatory hijab.[10][11] Samadi was subsequently convicted and sentenced to a six-month ban from social media activities, whether directly or through intermediaries. Additionally, she was required to attend biweekly sessions at an official psychological center for treatment of what the court described as "antisocial personality disorder" and to submit a certificate of mental health upon completion of the treatment period.[12][13]

Travel Ban

[edit | edit source]

In late November 2023, Azadeh Samadi was barred from leaving Iran while traveling to the 54th International Film Festival of India (IFFI) in Goa.[14]
