Egyptian actor Yusra is studying the teaching of Islam and may begin wearing a Hijab, an Islamic headdress. Rumors claim she may even resign from acting.
According to the London based Elaph, this news will lead people to watch her latest television drama, currently being screened on Arabic satellite television channels.
Yusra’s acting career has been going under, prompting speculation that she may use religion as an excuse for her resignation if the drama “Allahathat Al Harija” (Embarrassing Moments) directed by Sharif Arafeh, is unsuccessful.
A number of production companies are using this same tactic to promote their dramas amidst high competition this Ramadan season. A shocking rumor about a star is leaked to spark viewer interest.
On a different note, Yusra has denied circulating rumors that she has divorced her husband director Khaled Saleem and that she intends to adopt a child.
Yusra said that she is living a happy life, personally and professionally. “My relationship with my husband could not be any stronger,” she said. She does not understand why people create rumors to attack her personal life, particularly her relationship with her family.
Yusra also denied the news that she will be starring in a new film that portrays the life of seduction American diva Marline Monroe.
