Egyptian actor Mustafa Shabaan has disappeared from the spotlight and closed his cell phone to avoid direct questions regarding the reasons why his wife has filed for divorce. The actor has made all attempts to avoid confrontations with the media refusing anyone to get involved in his personal business.

 

Mustafa’s wife has gone to court and filed for a divorce only seven months after they made their marriage vows. Close contacts to Mustafa along with his lawyer have revealed that the actor himself is shocked with his wife’s actions.

 

It was stated that the actor would have not denied his wife’s request for a divorce and was willing to settle the matter without it reaching court. Mustafa has agreed to all the conditions of the divorce and has asked his lawyer to proceed with the divorce paper to end the matter as soon as possible.

 

Mustafa’s wife has refused to reveal the reasons behind her decision that ended the marriage in such a short period. Sources close to the wife stated that one of the reasons were the fact that Mustafa was constantly absent from his home due to his preoccupation with his acting career, in addition to the numerous disturbance by female fans who turned her life into a living hell.

 

Mustafa had met his wife at a gym, where they both went, and a love affair had begun last year in August.

 

On a different note, Mustafa is currently busy with filming the scenes of his next film “Al Qanas” (The Shooter). The film is written by Dr. Mohammad Rifat and directed by Sameer Faraj. Egyptian actors Dalia Al Buhairi, Ahmad Saeed Abdul Ghani, along with a number of young actors from Syria will costar alongside Mustafa. Filming locations have been set to take place in Cairo, Syria and Yugoslavia.
