Egyptian belly-dancer Dina has reached an agreement with an Egyptian publishing house after long and extensive negotiations to write her life’s memoirs. The dancer agreed that she will include the recent scandal she was involved in with her ex-husband in the book and promised to give every single minute detail from the moment the incident occurred.
According to the Egyptian based daily, Al Gomhouria, Dina also revealed that she will write about how the scandal affected her personal life and her career. Dina stressed that by doing this people will understand what happened from her point of view without judging her unfairly. She promised that nothing will be left out and the book will let readers know everything she went through.
The decision of Dina to return to the acting world has led numerous rumors to rise, but this time not regarding her previous pornographic scandal with her ex-husband Hussam Abu El Futooh, instead they are about disputes with legendary Egyptian belly-dancer Fifi Abdo and Lebanese singer/actress Nicole Saba.
It was rumored that Dina was the cause behind financial loses faced by Fifi, who had bought a play script from the same producer who is producing Dina’s new play, but no success was achieved causing Fifi to go into a rage. Dina stressed that she has nothing to do with Fifi’s failure and that her play is independent of Fifi’s and her only concert is that she meets the high expectations of her audience after her long absence.
It was also rumored that Dina had strongly objected to having Nicole costar with her in the play, a matter which the dancer denied saying that Nicole’s name was never brought up as a candidate for the play. Dina added that all these rumors hold no truth to them and are just created to give her a hard time in her return to the scenes.
Dina has been receiving numerous offers to star in different acting jobs after she publicly announced her return to the entertainment world. Dina had turned down most offers she received on of which by Egyptian prominent actress Yusra. The director of Yusra’s upcoming TV drama series “Malik Rouhi” (Ruler of My Soul) had offered Dina a leading role alongside the prominent actress, but Dina refused the part saying she already made up her mind on which acting job she will make her debut in. Dina announced her return to the entertainment world by starring in a new play “Al Hub Ala El Zero” (Love on Zero) under the direction of Al Sayed Radi, ending all circulating rumors of her resignation. Currently negotiations are underway with Egyptian actor Midhat Saleh and singer Mustafa Amr in the hope that one of them will accept the leading role alongside Dina.
Recently, Dina announced that so far she has gotten married five times, twice publicly and three times in secret. The dancer stressed that she finds no fault in secret marriage and is willing to do it for the fourth time if the situation calls for it. The dancer was held guest on the MBC satellite television "Ala Waraq" (On Paper), and revealed that the fact that she is a star makes marrying in secret more feasible, since she does not lead a normal life as other ordinary people do. She added that she prefers secret marriages for the fact that her past experiences with public marriages were not so successful especially when she first got married at the age of 17 to a colleague of hers and who put her through hell when she wanted a divorce. She revealed that the only way she got the divorce was after her father interfered and paid a large sum of money to her husband.
The presenter of the show began asking Dina about her most recent incident with her ex-husband, a matter that made her shed tears of sorrow and regret. The dancer stressed that the biggest mistake of her life was marrying Hussam, and added that he had placed a condition on her to quit her career if she wanted him to publicly announce their marriage, which she refused and so settled to marry him in secrecy.
Dina stressed that she never thought her marriage to Hussam would destroy her reputation and career in the manner it did, for the mere fact that she did not think a man would jeopardize his wife's reputation, but later on learned otherwise. Dina talked openly and freely to all the questions the presenter had, showing she has nothing to fear or hide. –Albawaba.com
