Tariq Al-Ali emphasizes the status of the late Hayat Al-Fahad Tariq Al-Ali: What binds me to the Al-Fahad family cannot be shaken by disagreements

In a striking human moment that captured the audience’s attention and sparked wide interaction on social media, Kuwaiti actor Tariq Al-Ali became the center of public discussion after an unexpected gesture during one of his public seminars, turning the event into a space dominated by humanity and messages of reconciliation.

During the event, Al-Ali directly addressed “Suzan,” the daughter of the late artist Hayat Al-Fahad, who was present among the audience. He appeared visibly emotional as he expressed his regret over any misunderstanding or offense that may have occurred in the past, stressing that the respect and appreciation he holds for the Al-Fahad family cannot be shaken by disputes or passing disagreements.

His stance did not stop at an apology; he went further by explicitly asking for forgiveness, addressing the “Lady of Gulf Drama” with heartfelt words, saying he hopes all previous disagreements come to an end and that he is forgiven, emphasizing the great status of the late actress in the artistic community and his respectful connection to her artistic legacy.

The roots of the tension between Tariq Al-Ali and Hayat Al-Fahad date back to 2017, when a dispute emerged over a decision issued by the Institute of Dramatic Arts regarding preventing students from acting. The disagreement escalated further the following year after an audio recording allegedly attributed to Al-Ali circulated widely. He firmly denied its authenticity at the time, describing the situation as exaggerated and calling for an end to attempts to stir division or exploit the conflict between him and “Um Suzan,” as he had referred to her on several occasions.

The latest moment, captured by cameras and widely circulated, received significant public interaction on social media, with many considering it a positive step that reflects artistic and human maturity in dealing with disputes within the artistic community, and a clear message that reconciliation remains the most beautiful option, no matter how long the disagreement lasts.

In a related context, artist Hayat Al-Fahad passed away on Tuesday, April 21, 2026, at the age of 78, after suffering a severe health condition that required hospitalization. She experienced complications following a catheterization procedure that led to a stroke, which necessitated her transfer to intensive care to receive the required medical treatment.
