Mimi Shakib had a love story with her artist husband Siraj MounirAnd it has a harsh memory with his death, which was mentioned by Al-Jeel magazine in the issue of September 16, 1957, when Siraj was in Alexandria with the Al-Rihani troupe, where she performed her plays, and with his wife, Mimi Shakib, they lived in the “Krion” Pension in Saad Zaghloul Square, and he had to travel to Cairo on Tuesday to meet officials. At the Passports and Nationality Department, he obtains an exit visa for all band members so that they can travel to Damascus. Upon his arrival, he calls one of his friends to dine at Sofar Restaurant, and they complete the evening in Saifi Cinema.
After the evening, and at one after midnight, Siraj returned to his apartment in Zamalek and found his wife’s son, Mimi Shakib, who had come from Alexandria on two days’ leave. Siraj stayed up with his wife’s son, telling him the last jokes he had heard, then he got up to sleep.
At eight o’clock in the morning, the phone rang, and the close speaker close to Serageldin was to take him to the passport office. Mimi Shakib, his wife’s son, answered the phone, and when he entered to wake him up, he found a body as cold as ice. Mimi Shakib hurries to Cairo from Alexandria to join her husband.
Mimi Shakib, whose love story continued with her 17-year-old husband, Siraj Mounir, says that he called her from Cairo on Wednesday night – the night of his death – and said to her: “I am like a pampas…and I am going to have dinner in Sofar… Despite this, I was feeling anxious, whose source I do not know… and it was My soul is constricted, as if I am expecting something I do not like.”
