Prominent Syrian singer Asalah Nasri has taken Bahraini citizenship, granted to her by Bahraini King Hamad Bin Issa Al Khalifa. The singer was granted citizenship a few days after she gave a spectacular performance in the operetta “Love and Loyalty” in celebration of Bahrain’s Independence Day.

According to the London based Elaph, Bahrain’s King attended Asalah’s concert and was intrigued by the singer, and personally thanked her for being part of his country’s celebration.

 

On a different note, Nasri, who separated from her husband Ayman Al Thahbi, has announced that the two are getting back together. She and Ayman were able to overcome their differences, and are now celebrating their reunion, the singer explained.

 

Recently, the singer took advantage of her stay in Beirut to film a new music video for the song “Asfa” (Sorry) under the direction of Lebanese director Salim Turk, over a period of two days.

 

The story of the clip revolves around a woman, played by Asalah, whose husband has betrayed her. She discovers that he is having an affair with another woman, catching him red handed in bed with his mistress on the couple’s wedding anniversary.

 

The woman leaves her husband peacefully, deciding it is not worth it to confront him.
