Jihan Abdel Moneim, sister of late actress Soad Hosny, said that Soad had an unregistered marriage with singer Abdel Halim Hafez for six years. During an interview with TeN channel on Monday Abdel Moneim noted Hafez initially refused to announce the marriage and was jealous over her. Abdel Moneim called her sister a highly educated woman, who met many senior writers and learned from them. Abdel Moneim added that Hosny’s father refused to teach his own children, even though he was a calligrapher. Abdel Moneim explained that the series, presented by Mamdouh al-Leithi about the late actress has nothing to do with the reality Hosny’s life, noting that the late artist was kind and loved by everyone.
