Tabar explained that the success of the film prompted her to establish her own production company, however, she was swindled in a scam that led to the total loss of the company, which caused her to distance herself from art for about five years before she returned and found significant changes had occurred in the artistic landscape.
Regarding not obtaining Egyptian citizenship, Madeline Tabar affirmed that she feels a deep sense of belonging to Egypt, and does not see that official papers are a condition for proving this feeling, saying her love for Egypt is endless and does not need documentation.
She also touched on her limited artistic participations in past years, explaining that she had declined several works, including one that would have paired her with actor Mohamed Henedy.
In conclusion, Madeline Tabar revealed that she is continuing to film the series "Ana Waho Whom," written by Nesreen Tafesh, confirming that the work has a different character, and it is scheduled to be aired in the Ramadan drama season of 2026.
