The demands of stardom might be huge but Egyptian actress, Laila Elwi, proved it's possible to escape if only for a day, as she sneaked off for a much needed 24 hour break on Mother's Day.
The starlet took some time out from judging the Luxor International Cinema Festival to spend the day at the side of her ill mom.
According to Middle East news portal Elaph, Laila said she couldn't possibly spend the special day apart from the most important woman in her life.
The mommy's girl's revelation has put rumors rest that she had taken time out after a spat with festival organizers.
