Egyptian actress Nirmeen AL Fiqi has denied circulating rumors that she is secretly married to prominent Egyptian actor Farouq Al Fishawi. Nirmeen stressed that a very strong friendship connects her to Farouq and nothing more or less.
According to the UAE based daily, Al Bayan, Nirmeen added that the fact that the two have appeared together publicly on several occasions lately does not mean they are married. The rumor was created after the two were witnessed together attending several events, the last being a concert for prominent Egyptian singer Amr Diab and Lebanese singer Haifa Wahbi.
On a different note, Farouq has been arrested by Lebanese airport security for drug smuggling. Farouq who was in Lebanon on a short vacation accompanied by his son Ahmad was caught red handed with bags of drugs strapped to his chest, when he was about to board his flight to return home.
A source at the airport revealed that Farouq was shocked to learn that there was an order to have him searched, and thought that since he is a famous actor no one would bother him with the routine procedures. The source added that the amount of drugs the actor was caught with is enough for personal use to some extent, as well as may be used to sell.
