Youssef confirmed the reason was her role in the movie "Box of the World," which is currently being filmed, in which she plays the character of a simple Egyptian girl who dreams of marriage.
Rania plays a girl named Fatima in the movie, a poor hard-working 30-year-old girl with a dream of marriage, who happens to wear wearing a hijab.
She said: "I felt her personality is close to mine, and she represents many girls in Egypt who have a hard life."
Rania's appearance wearing a hijab raised many questions, some wondering if the death of young artist Haitham Ahmed Zaki had anything to do with her decision.
