Hanan added that she does not understand how the rumor came about, stressing that she had never throughout her life met Kathem let alone negotiated with him over starring in his music video.
It revealed that El Saher nominated Turk to be the leading star of his upcoming music video instead of Shireen, and that Hanan had expressed her joy and honor to be chosen by Kathem and agreed immediately saying that she holds such high respect for the singer and is one of his biggest fans.
She added Kathem had surprised her with his offer and once she read the script she knew that she could not resist especially since the song calls for an actress and not just a pretty face.
