Lebanese singer Nancy Ajram started a new fashion trend in the Middle East after she showed up in her latest video clip “Ah Wi Nos” wearing a galabia; a traditional Egyptian dress.
Vendors at the Abha shopping festival held in the city of Abha in Saudi Arabia stated that female visitors were hailing into a store that sells traditional Egyptian dresses, galabia, asking to buy galabia similar to what Nancy Ajram was wearing in her clip.
Nancy Ajram participated in the Jordanian annual summer Jerash festival, marking her second time. Nancy concert was marked with remarkable success as crowds of fans interacted with her and sang along all her songs.
Recently and despite all the temptations Egyptian comedian-actor Mohammad Huneidi offered Ajram to take part in his play “Tara’yo” in the final week of the screening, the singer refused to accept on the grounds that she does not wish to enter the acting world at this time. The singer stressed that at this point she will not accept any offers to act, focusing her efforts on her singing career only.
The producer of the play had previously agreed to sign a contract with Nancy regardless of the wage she wished, stressing that her participation would definitely bring in enormous profits. The producer also revealed that he is willing to negotiate with Nancy the possibility of accepting a leading role in his upcoming film alongside Huneidi.
Ajram has achieved great success in a relatively short period of time. Nancy says that she had always dreamt of being a famous singer since she started in her childhood. Nancy says that she is more confident now, after participating in big festivals like Jerash and Carthage, that her she is making her dream of popularity come true.
Ajram has signed a contract with the international soft drink company Coca Cola to be its official spokesperson for the Arab world and abroad. Nancy was offered a very generous amount, which was not revealed, to be the star of the soft drink company for the upcoming few years. The first commercial for Nancy will be shot in September under the direction of an international director. The singer revealed that this is a major opportunity for her and proves that her popularity is widely spread throughout the world. Nancy added that if she was not capable of being a talented singer, she would not have been chosen by such a prestigious company to be their official spokesperson. -Albawaba.com
