She is the cousin of both Egyptian actress Feyrouz and entertainer Nelly.
She was born in Cairo to an Armenian family. She started as a child actress imitating other actresses, including appearances on the Egyptian National Theater promoted by Muallem Sadiq. She was given her first movie role through Egyptian film director and producer Anwar Wagdi and screenwriter / playwright Abo El Seoud El Ebiary in Habebti Susu. El Ebiary also chose the name Lebleba after seeing the multi-talented child actress, comedian, dancer and singer Ninochka Kupelian. In the 1970s, she acted alongside leading man Salah Zulfikar in Borg El-Athraa (1970) and Fi Saif Lazim Nohib (1974), and alongside leading man Ahmed Zaki in Ma'ali al Wazir (2003).

In the 1990s, Lebleba worked alongside leading man Nour El-Sherif in Lela Sakhena (1995), in which she received numerous awards for her performance.[1] She married actor Hassan Youssef, but they divorced. She never remarried.
