The Controversial Scene That Shook the Internet

In the episode, Zaher’s character is shown aggressively yelling at and physically striking Malak, an emotionally charged performance that felt disturbingly real to many viewers. As soon as the episode aired, a wave of outrage flooded social media, with fans expressing their shock and discomfort over the intensity of the scene.

Many questioned whether the violence was necessary or if Zaher might have taken things too far, especially since Malak’s post-scene reaction suggested genuine distress.

Ahmed Zaher’s Public Apology… But Was It Enough?

Shortly after the backlash, Ahmed Zaher took to Instagram to address the controversy. In his post, he publicly apologized to Malak, saying that as her father, he’s so sorry, but as the character, he’s absolutely not.

This statement, however, did little to calm the storm. Many found it unsettling that Malak, despite being an actress, did not accept the apology. She even responded by saying that she was packing her stuff and leaving the house, hinting at how deeply the moment affected her.

What truly intensified the controversy was Malak’s apparent genuine emotional distress. She reportedly cried after the scene, a reaction that has led people to believe the impact of the moment was more than just scripted drama.

To make matters even more intriguing, her sister, Laila Zaher, chimed in on the conversation and commenting on her father’s Instagram post, Laila simply wrote that what’s done is done.

Did Ahmed Zaher Cross a Line? Fans Are Divided

The debate continues to rage online. Some argue that Ahmed Zaher was simply delivering a powerful, realistic performance and that Malak, as a professional actress, understood the demands of the scene. Others, however, feel that the moment was too real, questioning whether the emotional and physical intensity went beyond the limits of acting.

While it remains unclear whether Zaher’s strikes were controlled or genuine, one thing is certain—this scene has left a lasting impact, not just on viewers but seemingly on Malak Zaher herself.
