Egyptian singer Angham has been nominated by director Ahmad Yahia to star in the film "Al Shumoo' Al Sawdaa" (Black Candles), the same film that was originally made in the sixties and played by prominent Egyptian singer Najat and actor Saleh Salim, and had proved great success at the time. The film still enjoys a large popularity despite the passing of so many years since its making and was directed by Izz El Din Thu Al Fakar.
According to the UAE based daily, Al Bayan, Angham has stressed that she has not accepted any offers to star in any film at the moment fearing that such a decision may negatively affect her singing career. The singer added that she did not receive any offer from Ahmad to star in the film, but has heard rumors that he had nominated her for the leading role.
Angham revealed that she does not think it is a wise idea to star in a film that was previously made even though it enjoys such a huge popularity, stressing that people will naturally compare both films and actors. Angham is sure that the comparison will be in the favor of the first film and not the remix since anything that is copied usually looses its genuine features.
Angham noted that she does not know when the time will come for her to enter the acting world, especially since she is extremely busy at the moment with her singing career that she has no time left for anything else. She added that the thought of thinking is on her mind and she will wait for the right moment and the right script to make her debut in, which may suddenly come out of the blue.
Angham had been denying over and over the existence of a love relationship between her and her music distributor Fahed, but it has been revealed that the sparks between the two have heated up and their secret can no longer be hidden. During the concert she held in celebration of the release of her latest album “Omri Maak” (My Life is With You) the singer was seen alongside Fahed a matter which made everyone turn heads and began waiting for a formal announcement to be made by Angham.
During the concert people were expecting Angham to announce an engagement date or ever her wedding plans, but the singer made it a point not to comment regarding the matter wanting the concert to be solely for the celebration of her album and nothing more.
The singer had previously denied circulating rumors of a secret marriage to Fahid that had been spreading in the entertainment world. The singer assured that she is not involved in any kind of relationship with Fahid, let alone be married to him. Angham added that she is shocked people would use her trip to London, which she took to shoot her upcoming music video, as an excuse to create rumors of a secret marriage. She added that when the time comes for her to be married she will definitely announce it to the entire world and not in any way keep it a hidden secret.
Angham was hosted as the first guest on a new show “Laiali” (Nights) on the Qatar satellite television channel, in which she removed the veil she has worn for so long that had kept her from talking about her personal life. The singer had openly answered to all the questions the announcer of the show had wanting to show her true nature as someone who is genuine and has nothing to hide.
Angham defended her style of dress, which was criticized by many as being too revealing, and said she is still young and has the right to dress in any fashion that suits her despite what others may think. She added that her cloths are not the least bit too revealing and on the contrary she dresses within the boundaries of any Arab woman.
During the show, Angham received numerous phone calls from admirers who wanted to tell her how much they appreciate her music and her style wishing her ongoing success. The singer had also received a special phone call from Egyptian singer Shireen Wajdi in which the two spoke freely with one another proving previous rumors of an existence of a dispute between them to be wrong. –Albawaba.com
