Egyptian artist Menna Fadali shared the details of her crisis in Syria that led her to apologize for participating in the series (Aila Amila Amail).

Menna affirmed that her decision was not due to the work or Syrian drama, but rather as a result of what she described as poor treatment during the preparation period.

She explained, in statements to the program ET Bil Arabi, that she agreed to participate as soon as the project was presented to her, excited about the idea of Egyptian-Syrian collaboration, especially since she had previously had artistic experiences in Syria that achieved success, most notably the series (Interview with Mr. Adam), which she considered one of her most significant artistic experiences.

Fadali added that she did not know the series director, named Safwan Mustafa, beforehand, but she welcomed collaboration with him. However, she was surprised, according to her, by poor organization of the rest areas inside the filming location. She indicated that she requested a separate space for herself, which did not happen, an issue she considered a lack of appreciation for her artistic status.

She confirmed that she felt upset by the way she was treated, noting that Syrian artists receive all appreciation and facilities in Egypt during their participation in artistic works, and she expected to receive the same treatment while in Syria.

Menna Fadali indicated that she decided to apologize for continuing the work and return to Cairo. She praised the position of producer Mohamed Sherif, who responded to her request and facilitated her travel arrangements quickly. She confirmed that her crisis was only with the way she was treated, not with Syria, its people, or its artistic industry, to which she holds all appreciation and respect.

It is worth noting that the series (Aila Amila Amail) brings together Mohamed Tharwat, Mai Selim, Andre Skaf, Nahed El Helbawy, and others, alongside a number of artists from Egypt and Syria.
