Biography
Hassouni's parents, Alia and Abdelbaki Hassouni, are Moroccan and moved to the Netherlands a few years before she was born on 21 September 1985, in Amsterdam. She has a younger brother named Zakariya and a sister called Sarra.
Hassouni received her high school diploma in 2003. She studied museology until 2005. She studied Law at the Free University in Amsterdam, but did not finish as she decided to focus on her acting career. In 2014 she returned to studying, completing a degree in English language and literature at the University of Amsterdam in 2017.
In 2002, she began her acting career with the role of Dunya El-Beneni in the television series Dunya and Desi, which was nominated for an International Emmy Award for Children and Young People in 2004 and again in 2005.
In 2006, she won the International Emmy Award for Best Performance by an Actress for the role of Laila al Gatawi in the 2005 Dutch TV film Offers.
In 2022, Hassouni published the book Wat de fak, through De Bezige Bij. It describes her experiences with what she identifies as structural sexism and racism in the film industry. She also announced her retirement from acting until those issues are addressed.
