Early Life and Education

Asmaa Khamlichi (54 years old) was born on 18 June 1971 in Casablanca, into a middle-class Riffian Moroccan family. She showed early passion for physical performance and arts, joining the Moroccan national gymnastics and diving teams during her teenage years. Her early discipline in sport later transitioned into performance art.

She trained at the Conservatoire National de Musique et d’Art Dramatique de Casablanca, where she studied music, theatre, and classical dance. Her training under choreographer Lahcen Zinoun for nearly a decade refined her acting and dance techniques, laying the foundation for her entry into professional stage and screen performance.

Asmaa Khamlichi maintains a relatively private personal life. She was previously married but divorced amicably in the early 2010s. She has one daughter, Lina, who occasionally accompanies her to public film festivals.

Career

Asmaa Khamlichi began her professional journey as a stage dancer and actress with Lahcen Zinoun’s Ballet-Théâtre, performing in Morocco and France. Her cinematic debut came in “Fiha El Malha O Soukar O Mabratch Tmout” (2000), which introduced her expressive comic style to Moroccan audiences.

She rose to stardom through the box-office hit “Elle est diabétique et hyper-tendue… mais elle refuse de mourir”, directed by Hakim Noury, which became a cultural phenomenon in Moroccan cinema. Following this success, she appeared in numerous film and television projects, such as Jugement d’une femme (2001), Les Oubliés de l’histoire (2010), and Chettah (2023).

Khamlichi’s later career expanded into film production and advocacy, emphasizing women’s representation in North African media.

Her 2025 feature film Résilience, which she co-produced and starred in, explores the psychological impact of social injustice on Moroccan women — earning positive critical attention in festivals across Rabat, Tunis, and Paris.

She has also appeared on Moroccan national television and served as a jury member at the Casablanca Short Film Festival (2023), where she promoted emerging female filmmakers.
