When it came time for her appearing court the leading lady best know for showing her assets on screen of popular television dramas like "Hekayit Banat" (Girls Stories) and "Taht Al Ard" (Underground) with roles as racy as a dancer, covered her bod all up with a veil, too ashamed to reveal herself. Family members also forbade the press from taking photographs.
