The Egyptian actress, Nabila Obeid, was associated with the late director Atef Salem, at the beginning of her artistic life, despite his being regarding 40 years older than her.
Nabila Obeid told regarding the first situation that brought them together during the “Najm Al Arab” program, and she was a student in the first year of secondary school when she met him next to the school.
At the time, she told him that she loved acting, and indeed he tested her in a small role until he traveled outside Egypt and upon his return, he found that she had signed a contract for 3 films.
She added: “She separated from him following she got a contract for two films, one of which was the movie “Rabaa Al-Adawiya”, which was not welcomed by Atef Salem, and at that time she realized that the large age difference between them will show more and more negative effects as he gets older.
And she tried to show him the extent of the sacrifice that she had sacrificed in order to be associated with him, so he only threw a cup of water in her face, and if it were not for God’s care, an unfortunate event would have happened.
