An image of the promotional poster for the Ramadan series “Under Guardianship” led by Egyptian actress Mona Zaki has sparked widespread controversy as she once again shed light on the veiled woman in the drama. , others supported Jackie. , who “shed light on many forms of art society” and felt that “judging an entire body of work from a single propaganda image is ludicrous and out of touch with reality.”
Followers compared Jackie’s image to that of retired Egyptian actress Hanan Turk in “The Interest” and asked her to emulate Jackie if she decides to play a hidden role again. Commenting on this, critic Karim Al-Masri says, “Turk’s image was that of a good woman, which was evident in the background of events, while the jockey series was still unclear, and it is not correct to judge it from a propaganda film.” He added to Asharq Al-Awsat, “The story of the job is completely different from what people have been spreading in terms of distortion and abuse.”
Egyptian writer Shamek al-Shandawili criticized Zaki’s image on his personal Facebook page, writing: “The difference between the image of Hanan Turk and Mona Zaki is the love or hate of the veil.” Some of the art and media community in Egypt, including broadcaster Amr Ateeb, defended her on “The Story”, saying, “I respect every woman or girl who wears a veil, because the veil is an obligation.” “Isn’t there a woman in an evil veil?” He asked, “We have all forms in society, and the role of art is to present them.”
