Among the beautiful faces that Egyptian cinema has known, she has presented dozens of acting and production works to wish the pillars of Egyptian cinema.
She married the Lebanese producer Boutros Zribat, who converted to Islam in order to marry her, then she married the writer Wajih Najib, who gave birth to her only daughter Jalila, then she married the producer Adeeb Jaber, then she married the producer Safwat Ghattas, who converted to Islam first.
The artist’s first marriage, Samira Ahmed, was from producer Boutros Zribat, who met her in 1952 during the filming of the movie “Sham El-Nessim”, and asked to marry her; However, the difference in religions forced him to convert to Islam instead of Christianity, and he changed his name to “Sharif Zali.”
Although everyone talked regarding the love story that brought them together, this marriage did not last long and ended in divorce due to the problems that arose between them. Egyptian artist Samira Ahmed described the experience of separation from her husband, scriptwriter and producer Wajih Naguib, as a bitter experience, because of her fear of society’s view of the divorced woman, and the theory that she is an easy woman.
Samira Ahmed’s separation from Wajih Naguib came very quietly, and no one expected this in the artistic community, and Wajih was convinced that the divorce was in their interest together, and in the interest of their daughter Jalila, before everyone else.
Wajeeh Najeeb and Samira Ahmed agreed that Jalila would have custody of her grandmother, Samira’s mother, and that the luxurious villa in which they resided would be owned by Jalila who resided in her with her mother and grandmother, provided that Wajeeh had the right to see his daughter at any time he wanted and at the lawyer’s door. Samira extended her hand to Wajih, saying to him with a smile, “Friends.” Wajih replied as he extended his hand to her, saying: “Of course, friends.” Samira Ahmed described the decision to separate in an old interview with Akher Sa’a magazine, saying: “It was a sad decision, as there is no woman in the world who wants a divorce for herself. Wajih’s mother.. and my sister’s charity cried for an hour if the authorized person came.. Divorce has a bitter taste.. like the taste of failure.”
