Hanan Turk

It’s official, young Egyptian actress Hanan Turk and ex-husband Khalid Khatab have divorced.
The news was declared by Mahmoud Saed on the show “Al Beit Baitek”. Although Khalid said that nothing would ever come between them apart from death. I guess he was wrong. It seems that Khalid wanted Hanan to quit acting altogether and dedicate her life to him and the children…what a jerk!

Hanan’s troubles began last month when she decided to wear the Hijab but continued her acting carrier, a move which drew criticism from some senior actors such as Hussein Fahmy and Yusra.

Yusra went so far as to asking Hanan to “take it off” and even talked to her now ex-husband about it, hoping he would persuade her. Apparently, he’s divorcing her!

I don’t mind if anyone wants the traditional life, but if a guy like Khalid Khatab wanted a house wife, why on earth did he marry an actress in the first place?

Yusra doesnt have the rite to tell Hanan to take off the "hjeb" cuz by this,she is making Hanan feel guilty abt it even if it isnt somthing at all to be ashamed of.God have made her choose the rite way ,but unfurtunately Yusra is not helping inn that.Anywayz.this isnt the point.The point assures either to head this way or that.Her husband is just not "openminded"either Hanan should take off the hejab and continue her ordinary life performance, or stop acting to form a family.Why do some ppl have this idea which states"A PERSON THAT IS AN ACTOR IS NOT A GOOD PERSON!!"After all,I've been so far to just reach my goal that indicate the importance of thinking before doing sth that may turn bad.WHyDID HE MARRY HER AND HE KNOWS HOW THE LIFE OF AN ACTOR IS?HE IS SO.....JERK

I don't think it's anyones right to call the hubby a jerk just because he wants his wife to become more of a wife & mother. It's proof enough that he has left the wife in the acting industry for such a long time now including in romantic roles he didn't approve of (her words on Dubai tv). Regardless we never will know the reasons. Actually I agree to an extent that she needs 2 dedicate more time to her young boys- seemed to be absent from them a lot whilst they were still toddlers and young kids + I'm sure there is a nanny or two involved. She did parade them on TV + in mags a few times which is a bit pathetic in what a good mum should do- shield them away from the limelight!

i think if is the main reason for the divorce,so he is right,do u know why?simply because what we r doing now,i mean his private life with his wife is like a strory and any1 know what is hapening in their home,this is rediculous,i saw hanan with hala sarhan at rotana cinema channel and she said a lot of private details and discutions that happened between her and khaled as telling what he is saying to her while they r arguing"beyetkhan2o",and i think she should respect his privacy,and being an actress has nothing with her tiny private details with her husband and children,i mean he married her and he know that she is popular and well known actress,but this is doesnt mean that what is happening between them the whole arabic world should know...i think they split or they not is not a big deal,this could happen to any1 of us,and i think no 1 ll be happy that all the people know about it,or even enterfere and say their opinion..ehna malna

It must be really difficult being both an actress and a mother. But, what is more important? Being a mother is the obvious answer. Family always comes first. The fact that her children are so young and that she doesn’t have much time for them is quite sad because they (like any family) do need a mother figure. And I don’t mean the stereotypical type of mother that just stays at home all day, but more like the one that they can turn to when they need someone the most. The type that would comfort them , support them and be there for them. Yes, she may still be young but the reward comes in a couple of years when she make her children successful individuals in life. Their success becomes her success. So, it is a rewarding long journey.

But, I don’t think there is any need to quit and leave acting forever. No one can deny how talented Hanan is. But she does need to take time out to settle down with the family.

Look at the Ramadan that passed, Warda came back on the screen and everyone was so exciting about her return. She has been away for quite some time. But it was great to see her again. So it is not a bad thing taking time out. As long as you are ready for the return and feel that everything else around you is settled. Then, that is the time to come back. There is no limit on how much time she should take out.

'It's proof enough that he has left the wife in the acting industry for such a long time now including in romantic roles he didn't approve of '

acting is not technically 'acting' if you decide to choose all your roles and discard what you dont like.one of the many purposes of acting is to play a role which doesnt necesarilly reflect the way you choose to live your life.if you chose to be an actor you are committed to rehearse different roles either romantic or not.

in the west,actors and actresses play romantic roles despite the fact most of them are married.their hubbies or wives dont have a problem with that because they know they are acting and not 'in love'...its their JOB.i dont see why arabs have a problem with that...too much jealousy?goodness me i think you all need to calm down.

Well to me,
is bad example for her. Hanan should quit acting long time ago before she wore hijab cause is not good acting with males, I think her husband is right. Every egypt actors and actress want her to take off the hijab. If she a real Muslim she would stop acting anymore. She’ll be faithful../
This article shouldn’t tell her husband is a “jerk”. He just trying to protect her. And I don’t get with Yusra she said she read and want to wear hijab so now she is trying to tell her not to wear it. Hussein Fahmy and Yusra are the one shud people calling them “jerks”. That’s right.

no i think acting is a job..and besides,theres nothing wrong with it..is it shameful?how is it 'haram'?its just a job...personally, if i was a man or director i wont have any problem with an actress being covered...unless ofcourse she had to depict roles which clash with her faith.
muslim women werent born to raise families and get locked up at home while their husbands can roam free outside. i respect Islam but this is taking it too far.

Im not muslim but i dont believe dat acting with males is a bad thing and a women makes her own choices she shouldnt need her husband to make them for her and if everytime a women made her own choice her husband leaves her well people sholdnt get married. sorry but if a muslim man wanted to re marry 4 times i dont think his wife can have a say so why should something like this which only has to do with hanan not her husband be chosen by him. acting is a job made for women and men not only for men what kind of movie is that. Mr ahmed would u watch a movie with only men ask urself please

I sometimes feel that people treat women who wear the hijab a little unfair. And in this case, people think that she should stop acting because of her hijab. That is ridiculous. It is only a job.

The hijab only covers hair and not talent(s), not skills, not manner, not personality and certainly not intelligence. I don't think that is fair at all- all these attacks and criticism from the media and stars like Yusra. Women who wear the hijab are no different from anyone. They live a completely normal life like any other person.

Hanan is a talented actress but the hijab is no reason for her to stop completely. She could stil act, as long as the scenes are appropriate i.e. not love scenes.

However, I do think that calling her husband a "jerk", was a little harsh. I can understand that he may feel uncomfortable about her doing love scenes. But, that is also a sign of insecurity in terms of the relationship between them. Like I said last time, she should place family first and try to sort things out. I also don't think that this is a divorce, it looks more like a split.

Bridgette + whoever else feels the need to support Hanan 'as an actress'

I'm not referring to anything in general u see. She stated in an interview that her husband did not approve of the film Adam we Hanan or Hanan we Adam or whatever it was called and decided never to watch it due to a kissing scene between her and the young man. But he gave her full right to choice and that is a good quality in a husband, she took advantage of the opportunity.
She also stated that she agreed to the role as a favour to the Youssef Shaheen guy and not so much coz of the role...to me she is selling herself as an actress. And she came down really to a decision of director vs. husband...nothing 2 do with acting or the storyline.

She therefore could have considered hubby's feelings especially as she also stated in the same interview that she was thinking about hijab from many years back. Now she is wearing Hijab she can not do any of those intimate roles. Therefore if she planned to wear hijab a long time ago then why did she give herself permission to be intimate knowing that it goes against hijab?

Her downfall is that she seems to be a woman with a strong personality yet she is full of mixed messages + unclear loyalties. She named her son after the director Youssef for one (her words again) and not the prophet Youssef which is what I always assume. And obviously her husband allowed her to make that decision too. She is involving her work into her family life and no one can argue that it is her right.

I don't really agree about people saying 'it’s only acting!’ I hear it time & time again but 2 me it isn't only acting. It's a decision to represent something u may not personally agree with, u may not represent with truth, u may mislead viewers with, u may in future embarrass your own children with, u have to be bound to those u r acting with and create false stories + a big par of acting is lying- not just in the acting but within the industry at large. Many people especially kids or deluded adults believe the acting of what u describe as 'only acting' therefore it should be done with caution.

Furthermore it is never expected of Arab actors to have kissing scenes so I'm sure the husband never assumed it when he married her. There are a large number of actresses who decide not to agree to take part in on screen kisses.

Lastly we still can't be clear due to the fact that in marriage husband & wife make promises to each other which the public are not part of.

first thing i that it is so stupid that he would divorce her just so that she can just stay with her children and him. before marring her he had to think that if she is an actor she not going to spend a lot of time with the family. and acting is a job, a very important one. you cant just leave it. he just has to make some quality time with her, thats all. he didnt have to go serious and divorce her WHAT A LOSER. and yeah for that hejab thing.. those stupid people have nothing to say to hanan because its none of thier business they are all haramies. she is following the way to go to heaven. yusra can go to hell.[which she obviously will] ALHAMDULILAH she put on hijab!!
