During her appearance on a media program, El Sebai spoke about her excessive relationship with food, explaining that she used to consume large amounts daily. She added: "There wasn’t anything I didn’t eat. I would leave the theater and call the crispy chicken restaurant to order a bucket of 36 pieces, and I would still feel starving."

She also revealed that in the final period before her surgery, she suffered from severe sleep problems, describing it as a medical condition that affected her daily life. She continued: "I couldn’t sleep, and when I was hungry, I would open the fridge and sit in front of it until all the food was gone."

She also played the role of comedian Mohamed Henedy’s sister in Prince of the Seas, where her character’s weight led to comedic interactions. Her theater work includes shows like Merci, I Want a Chair and My Wife is the Gang Leader.
