Khaberni - Actress Shaimaa Seif commented on the connection made by some of the audience between her weight loss and losing her comedic spirit, amid predictions that her weight loss would negatively affect her wit.
During her interview with the program "et بالعربي", Shaimaa Seif mockingly said: "The idea that weight loss affects wit, I see it as completely untrue. What do fats have to do with wit?" Adding: "There are many artists who have lost weight and still look great."

Shaimaa Seif stirs controversy about retiring from art
Shaimaa Seif had stirred significant controversy among her fans after she posted a video on her personal Instagram account, appearing as she was performing the Umrah rituals while wearing the niqab, which left the audience puzzled about whether she had decided to retire from performing arts and wear the hijab, or whether this modesty was required by the Umrah, especially since it was her first appearance after announcing her divorce from the production manager, Mohammad Carter.
Shaimaa appeared in a serene spiritual atmosphere wearing the abaya, hijab, and niqab, and expressed her great joy at visiting Mecca, captioning the photos with a single word that summarizes her feelings: "Mecca the city".
Shaimaa received significant interaction from her followers and colleagues in the art community, who congratulated her on performing Umrah and prayed that God accepts her good deeds, and wished her happiness and emotional comfort.
Recently, Shaimaa Seif revealed her divorce from production manager Mohammad Carter, after a marriage that lasted about seven years, pointing out that the separation was carried out quietly away from the spotlight.
It is noteworthy that the latest artistic work of Shaimaa Seif was her participation in the series "Ish Ish" which was shown during the last Ramadan season, and stars: Mai Omar, Magid El Masri, and Hala Sedki, written and directed by Mohammad Sami. The work received high praise for combining sophisticated comedy with human touches, which particularly distinguished Shaimaa's performance.
