Al-Marsad newspaper: The Egyptian artist “Khaled Zaki” revealed his dissatisfaction with the producers’ lack of interest in the participation of his generation of artists in artistic works and benefiting from them, in contrast to what happens in international cinema, where elderly actors are relied upon as an addition to the work.
Khaled Zaki said during his interview with the media, “Bossi Shalaby” on the (Ten Nights) program: “There must be a very strong intervention in this matter to preserve the dignity of the artist in our generation so that we do not die while we are not with us or a penny. We are supposed to be honored, not just a literary honor.” And testimonies, we are not honored in material agreements very well because we are in the late years of our life.”
And the artist Khaled Zaki continued: “We don’t want to get any money so we can treat it. A message to the responsible gentlemen. I hope my opinion reaches and takes care of our generation. The older generation, technically benefit from it, financially be honored and for the last time so that his life does not end and there is no money in his pocket to be treated with.”
He added that he did not have a balance in the bank and was often exposed to financial crises, including that he was forced to sell his car in 2011 due to financial circumstances. He did not disclose this matter for fear of his image, indicating that until now he has not been able to buy another car.
The Egyptian artist continued: “I am currently riding an Arab for my wife, and I am not able to answer an Arab… I think that the money that I can bring with an Arab I can spend it on food and commitments… and I feel oppressed by my innermost thoughts over the financial conditions of our generation and I do not want to die in debt and I do not have the desire for treatment.” “.
