Her husband, Khaled Selim, who was with her on the same program, interrupted to comfort and ease her pain, saying, "This is natural."

A painful loss for Hesham Selim

Yousra also spoke about her husband’s late brother, the artist Hesham Selim, affirming that his absence still affects the entire family. She added that her husband has not fully recovered yet from the death of his father, while the impact of Hesham’s loss remains.
