Ahmed Shiha, the father of the retired Egyptian actress Hala Shiha, responded to the news that spread during the past few days regarding her taking off the veil following publishing a video clip of her daughters, in which she appeared in a shot without a veil.
Hala Shiha’s father denied this news and described it as “empty, absurd and worthless talk,” indicating that his daughter is not a pilgrim in the usual way, saying, in statements to “ET Arabic”: “My daughter wears a light veil and puts it on half of her hair only and covers her neck no more.” .
He asked the commentators to leave his daughter alone, surprising him with the constant talk regarding her hijab. He also stressed that there are many important things around us that deserve to be focused on.
He pointed out that the criticism that Hala Shiha is exposed to causes him distress and annoyance, and makes her hate fame completely.
On the other hand, Ahmed Shiha commented on the possibility of his daughter returning to acting once more following her retirement a few years ago, and said that he did not know her position on the return. He added, “I have not spoken to her regarding this for months, but what I ask everyone is to leave her alone so that she can be happy with her life, live in love and love, and her time may return to the artistic scene.”
Shiha had shared with her followers, through her account on “Instagram”, a video clip dating back to October of last year, which includes cute clips of her daughter and niece playing with slime and scenes that bring them together with her mother and father.
Shiha attached the post with a comment stressing the importance of the family, saying: “I believe in the power of the family, the power of love, the power of purity and joy.”
She explained that the difficult and sad times a person goes through leads him to a better place, and builds a stronger and wiser personality in it, and she wrote: “I believe that tomorrow is a wonderful place, and that when we go through difficult times, sad times, and traumatic events, guilt and anger will only lead us to a better place.” We become wiser, stronger, less angry, and more forgiving. I look at my daughter and her cousin, they are happy, they are laughing from their hearts, and they are in the moment.”
Shiha concluded her post that one can learn a lot from children just as one learns from the nature around him.
