Khaberni - Egyptian director Inas El Degheidy revealed many surprises and behind-the-scenes details about her sudden marriage to Egyptian businessman Ahmed Sukarno.
The Egyptian director appeared with her husband, the businessman, in an interview with Egyptian media personality Lamis El Hadidi on the Egyptian satellite channel "Al Nahar", where she initially responded to those who attacked her marriage by saying, "I am annoying many people".
She mentioned that she does not know why some people were angry about her announcement of the marriage, especially since she feels she is providing positive energy to everyone after making this decision, having surpassed the age of 70.
Inas El Degheidy also denied rumors that her husband was younger than her, with reports that she was marrying a man 25 years her junior, confirming instead that he is the same age as her.
Inas El Degheidy surprised everyone when she met with a well-known cup reader before, who asked her, "Who is Ahmed in her life?", to which she responded that there was no one named Ahmed in her life except her brother, but he assured her that she would "meet someone named Ahmed who would stay with her until the end of her life," in her words.
However, the Egyptian director did not care about what the cup reader said until one of her friends from the artistic community told her about an Egyptian businessman living in Australia who spoke about her with great pride and love. This person is Ahmed Sukarno, who was born in Alexandria province, and whose father chose a compound name "Ahmed Sukarno" after "Sukarno", the first president of the Republic of Indonesia.
Ahmed Sukarno played football in his youth and played for the Al-Ittihad Alexandria club in Egypt, but injuries led to his early retirement, after which he moved into coaching in Egypt and later in Jordan.
He later migrated to Australia where he initially worked in journalism before becoming a businessman, and in a meeting with a group of artists, Sukarno expressed his admiration for the ideas and bold views of director Inas El Degheidy.
From here, their acquaintance began, as one of the Egyptian artists close to the couple decided to act as a link between them, and the couple communicated for a month by phone, before meeting.
Sukarno was previously married and has three children, and chose to marry Inas El Degheidy on October 10th, because it is the birthday of his younger granddaughter.
