Hiba Abouk Reveals She Considers 45% of Her Past Relationships a Mistake. Actress Hiba Abouk made her first appearance on La Revuelta, admitting that nearly half of her past relationships were pointless. During the broadcast, she also recalled a major power outage that prevented her from attending the show a year ago.
In Madrid, actress Hiba Abouk made her first appearance on the program La Revuelta, where she unexpectedly spoke candidly about her personal experiences. During her conversation with host David Broncano, she admitted that she considers 45% of her past relationships to have been mistakes, although she noted that each experience brings certain lessons. Abouk reached this conclusion after participating in the popular game 'Casar, follar o descartar', suggested by actress Inma Cuesta. In the game, Hiba Abouk said she would marry American actress Sydney Sweeney, have a fling with Florentino Pérez, president of Madrid’s football club, and leave singer Lucas from the duo Andy y Lucas without a choice.
The broadcast also featured a story about how, a year ago, a major power outage in Spain and Portugal disrupted her first attempt to appear on La Revuelta. According to Abouk, she did not receive a notification about the cancellation that day but quickly understood the reason and switched to another task—picking up her children from school. Normally the trip takes 15 minutes, but due to the transport collapse it took her three hours. The actress noted that such situations allow one to view everyday life differently: there were more people on the streets, many were reading in parks, and the rare opportunity to be without connection and noise turned out to be valuable.
In a conversation with Broncano, Hiba Abouk also shared details about her physical training: she does functional workouts up to five times a week. In addition, the actress spoke about a curious incident during a trip to Colombia, when she had to use a public space for personal needs. She came to the studio with a gift and wore clothes that, according to her, carried a silent message.
Hiba Abouk's return to the theater stage after a 13-year hiatus is linked to the new play “Cucaracha.” According to La Revuelta, interest in the production rose noticeably after her appearance on air. It's important to note that such infrastructure failures, like the energy crisis discussed a year ago, affect not only cultural life but also residents’ daily routines. Similar consequences for Spanish regions were seen after other major incidents, such as the railway accident in Huelva, when locals faced transport and everyday difficulties — more on this can be found in the article about the consequences of the accident for the region.
For reference: Hiba Abouk is an actress of Libyan-Tunisian descent, known for several Spanish TV series and theater productions. The program La Revuelta regularly invites well-known guests to discuss current issues and personal stories. The mass power outage discussed on air became one of the largest technological failures on the Iberian Peninsula in recent years, affecting millions of residents.
