Amy and Donia Samir Ghanem cried following showing a video regarding their late parents Samir Ghanem and Dalal Abdel Aziz during the Joy Awards in Riyadh.
The two sisters were unable to speak and confirmed that they had attended a speech to give it, but they were unable to express themselves, amidst their tears.
Amy and Donia attended Bakr Al-Sheddi Theater, Riyadh Al-Nujoom Boulevard, to attend the JOY AWARDS Awards ceremony, the second edition of the Entertainment Makers Award in Saudi Arabia, which is dedicated to the people of art, cinema, drama, music, sports and Arab influencers.
Immediately following the end of the video, Amy appeared for the first time officially since the death of her parents, accompanied by her husband, Hassan Al-Raddad, who brought her to the stage, and her sister Dunya accompanied her.
Also keen on attending were Arab artists, Mohamed Henedy, Walid Tawfik, Kazem El Saher, Donia Samir Ghanem, Hani Ramzy, Ashraf Zaki, Rogina, Tamer Ashour, and the media Amr Adib.
The awards are presented by the General Entertainment Authority in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia under the umbrella of the “Riyadh Season”, in a ceremony in which this year a constellation of Arab and international stars of art, cinema, drama and sports will participate, along with the most prominent entertainment makers and a group of invitees in this vital sector, in parallel with a group of press Media, social influencers and personalities.
The ceremony will witness a number of live artistic performances on the stage as part of an integrated scene of one of the largest artistic and entertainment events in the region.
The Entertainment Makers Awards ceremony is distinguished by the fact that the audience is the one who chooses the winners in various categories, through voting that allows the participant in the voting process to give his vote to the candidates he chooses himself in each of the categories classified within five disciplines: cinema, music, social influencers, sports and drama series.
While each discipline has a number of related awards, a participant can vote only once for each award. The voting phase for the nominated businesses and persons started on October 20 of last year and extended for a whole month.
