Egyptian actor Ahmed Zaher has called on his fans to pray for his daughter, young actress Malak Ahmed Zaher, after she suffered a sudden health setback — a development that quickly made her name trend across search engines as fans sought updates on her condition.

Zaher shared a photo of his daughter via Instagram Stories, writing: “O Lord, You are the Healer… Please pray for her.”

“Psychological Pressure”

Malak Zaher revealed details about both her physical and emotional state through her own Instagram Stories, sharing a picture from inside a hospital bed along with a heartfelt message:“I’ve never posted anything except fun content, jokes, or something positive. Even when I shared something negative, it usually had a purpose — and I often treated it with humor.”

She continued: “But I wanted to open up this time. Lately, it has felt like the whole world is closed off and moving strangely. The psychological pressure has become overwhelming, and I don’t feel like I can handle things the way I used to. I’ve started to withdraw from people and situations. I’m not asking for pity — I’m just going through a hard phase and need emotional and spiritual support. I really need your heartfelt prayers.”

Malak ended her message with a note of hope for her followers:“The purpose of this story isn’t to seem weak — thank God, I’m okay, and whatever this is, it’ll pass. I just wanted to share so anyone feeling the same way knows they’re not alone, that there are others going through this — and they will get through it.”
