Egypt: an actress is offered 300,000 pounds by a Saudi to wear veil again

Twelve years after having reinvented her life discreetly, far from the spotlight, the Egyptian actress Hala Shiha decided to take the path of the film sets.

Was she expecting to come out of retirement so dramatically? No one knows, the fact is that the surprise aroused by the announcement of her great comeback was nothing compared to the misunderstanding born of her choice to no longer wear the veil.

Proof in support, the photo showing her bareheaded, without the hijab that usually surrounded her face, caused a sensation on social networks, and it’s a mild euphemism…
