Mohamed Shaheen Addresses Lam Shamsiya Buzz

Egyptian actor Mohamed Shaheen playfully responded to fans’ reactions to his unsettling role as Wessam, a harasser, in Lam Shamsiya, noting how its success has heightened his responsibility for future projects.

“It’s Just Acting, Guys!”

Shaheen took a humorous jab at the backlash, saying, “It’s acting, folks—not me! Say hi, take pics, but please, no hitting—I swear it’s not me!” His lighthearted plea reflects the intense audience response to his chilling portrayal.

Wessam: A Complex Villain

On Wessam’s character, Shaheen explained, “People like him are mentally ill victims, yet fully guilty. It’s forbidden religiously and morally. His victims grow up scarred—some with trauma, fear, or psychological issues—because of someone who had no right.” His insight adds depth to the role’s impact.

Rising Stakes for Shaheen

Shaheen admitted the pressure is on post-Lam Shamsiya. “My responsibility’s grown. I keep saying, ‘God, guide me.’ I’m nervous about what’s next, hoping I can match the praise,” he shared. The role’s success has him both proud and anxious about maintaining quality.
