Abla Kamel Returns with a Ramadan Ad and Sparks Controversy After 8 Years of Absence
After a long absence of 8 years from the spotlight, Egyptian artist Abla Kamel is back to dominate public conversation again, but this time through a massive advertisement for one of the Egyptian telecommunications companies, coinciding with the month of Ramadan, rather than through a television work as her audience is accustomed to.
Abla Kamel's return has piqued the curiosity of social media users, who are wondering whether her appearance will be in person or through artificial intelligence technologies, given the artist's mystery and her failure to reveal details about the campaign so far.
According to what has been circulated, several prominent stars of Egyptian art will participate in the advertisement, including Menna Shalaby and Yasmin Abdel Aziz, making the campaign one of the most anticipated this season.
On another note, Abla Kamel recently broke her silence after years of isolation, publishing a voice message via the program of media personality Lamis El Hadidi on "Al-Nahar" channel, in which she confirmed that she is in good health after undergoing several surgeries, and that she is fully bearing her treatment costs herself, refusing any financial support despite being listed among the artists benefiting from the presidential decision for state-funded treatment.
Abla Kamel's last television appearance was in the series "Selasal Al-Dam _ Part Five" in 2018, while her last cinematic work was the film "The Elders" starring Amr Saad in 2010, making her media return through the advertisement an exceptional event that raises passion and questions about the details of her new appearance.
