With Syrian actress, Raghda, hitting the headlines all last week for her pro-Assad views, it's something of a surprise that other actors are still willing to work with this regime stalwart.
But for young Egyptian star, Mai Ezz Eldin, the politics don't matter and she is happily co-starring alongside Raghda in new drama, 'Al Shak' (Doubt).
According to the Kuwaiti daily Al Rai, the Egyptian beauty is more interested in Raghda's acting credentials than her views on Syria and so is thrilled to be working alongside the older lady.
