Ahmed once asked “What is the significance of the red carpet? Why do only some people get it?" “Some say it is a sign of merit,” said his father, “but in Sardinia they lay it in the streets at New Year to stop the bottles of champagne breaking.

But even others say the red carpet symbolises the blood they have spilt to gain fame, or in the case of women, the lipstick they have used to allure men.”
