Aya Samaha Visits Moshira Ismail to Offer Her Apology

The Visit Was Initiated by Ashraf Zaki

Egyptian actress Aya Samaha made a personal visit to veteran actress Moshira Ismail at her home in Heliopolis to offer a formal apology following a public attack she had launched on social media over the closure of a veterinary clinic.

The visit brought an end to the dispute that had stirred widespread controversy and public discontent. Moshira Ismail warmly welcomed the gesture, accepting the apology with grace and a spirit of forgiveness, emphasizing that relationships between artists should be built on love and mutual respect, not conflict.

This reconciliation effort was part of an initiative led by Dr. Ashraf Zaki, President of the Actors’ Syndicate, who sought to resolve the dispute amicably and reinforce harmony among artists. Actor Karim Fahmy, a close friend of Moshira Ismail, also attended the meeting and voiced his full support for the reconciliation.

Background of the DisputeThe disagreement originated when Moshira Ismail filed a formal complaint against a veterinary clinic located in her building, which ultimately led to its closure by official order. The decision upset Aya Samaha, who criticized it in a Facebook post. Although she later deleted the post and issued a public apology, Moshira initially declined to accept it.

A Message of Forgiveness and ClosureHowever, with the in-person visit and sincere apology, the rift was fully mended. The resolution was widely praised by the public and artistic community as a commendable example of handling disputes with dignity and mutual respect—a lesson in the power of dialogue and forgiveness to preserve camaraderie within the creative community.
