In an interview published by Akher Sa’a magazine in 1968, Rushdi Abaza said: “There is a difference between an artist and a professional actor. The director wants people to laugh, to make them laugh.
And he wants to make them cry, to make them cry. This thing happened once in the movie (The Second Man). Orson Welles is an artist because he’s crazy, and I think art is a kind of madness.” And regarding the number of times the first boy Rushdi Abaza married,
He said: “Four times.. the first was a French singer named Annie Brier and my marriage lasted for 8 months.. the second was Tahia Karioka and the marriage lasted for two years.. and the third was a mother who divided the American and the marriage lasted for 6 years.. and the fourth was the last cluster of Samia Jamal and I married her 7 years ago. And at length, God willing.” This hadith was already before their separation.
When he asked regarding Sabah, Rushdi Abaza laughed artificially, as if he had forgotten this marriage, and said: “This is a passport. This was between the lines just a whim and we are regarding to divorce.”
The insistence of Rushdi Abaza’s marriage from Sabah, starring in a movie, brought together Danjwan Rushdi Abaza and Shahroura Sabah, in Beirut, when he was with Shahroura filming the movie “Your Hands on My Woman.” There was a scene in which Shahroura wears a wedding dress and marries Rushdi, but they took the matter seriously. Grand.
Rushdi Abaza called his sister, who was living in Sidon, telling her that he was coming to the city, and that she should call Mazoon because he would marry Sabah, which shocked her, because he was originally married to the artist Samia Gamal.
Despite the desperate attempts of his father, and his wife, Samia Gamal, to prevent him from this marriage, and the pleas of his wife, he insisted on the matter. A joke that ended with a marriage that Rushdi Abaza made his return.
Indeed, he completed the marriage with Shahroura, which was a challenge to him. According to Kassem explained that the marriage began with a joke in Lebanon, when Sabah told him that he might not marry her for fear of Samia Jamal, so he took her to the Ma’zoun.
The fastest marriage was the morning following the marriage of Al-Shahroura Sabah to Rushdi Abaza. Al-Dingwan called his sister, Munira, and told her that they had separated and the students signed between him and the Lebanese artist in Beirut following only 24 hours.
This is a story that contradicts rumors that the marriage lasted for two weeks. When the late artist was asked in a press interview regarding the reason for her requesting a divorce from Rushdie, she confirmed that their marriage was a surprise to everyone.
In the same press interview, Sabah confirmed, in a bold and shy tone, that she asked for a divorce on the night she entered, because of Abaza’s insincerity regarding his separation from his ex-wife.
