Eman El-Sayed Addresses Wentaqabel Habib Backlash

Egyptian actress Eman El-Sayed responded to fan criticism about her trimmed role in Wentaqabel Habib after writer Amr Mahmoud Yassin explained cutting scenes to fit the drama’s tone, sparking a candid reflection on her experience.

Eman’s Honest Reply

Eman took to Instagram, addressing the discontent: “I get it—my role didn’t click with you, and that’s your right. I know when I’m off, and I welcome fair, respectful critique. I’ve learned good work can be overshadowed by one disliked role in a flash.” She added, “I don’t blame others for my choices. I’m old enough to own them. I’d only take small roles with Yasmin because fans know our chemistry—yet this time, I faced harsh comments like never before, even dragging a co-star’s unrelated posts into it.”

Apology Before Filming

Eman revealed she nearly backed out: “I called Amr Mahmoud Yassin, whom I respect, to apologize for the role. My timing was awful—I shouldn’t have. He said, ‘You can’t do this to Yasmin.’ I’d do one scene if I felt it, but I stayed because bailing then was wrong.”

Joy for Yasmin’s Success

She wrapped up positively: “I’m thrilled for the show’s success and Yasmin Abdel Aziz—she deserves every bit of it. I’ve learned a lesson from this.” Her words reflect gratitude amid the storm.
