Within minutes, the internet went full detective mode, convinced that the two stars were secretly a couple. Fans speculated that the low-key moment was a soft launch of a new celebrity romance, and rumors spread like wildfire.

However, Menna Shalaby was quick to shut down the speculation to the media and set the record straight. She brushed off the dating rumors, clarifying that Valentine’s Day isn’t just for couples and hinting that the call did not involve any sort of romance. But that didn’t stop the internet from running with its own theories.

Just as things started to cool down, director Karim El Shennawy jumped into the mix—fueling the fun instead of shutting it down. He posted an Instagram story showing the cast of “Lam Shamseya”—the upcoming Ramadan 2025 series—where Saadany, Amina Khalil and other co-stars were all wearing hoodies.

His playful response sent the internet into another spiral, with fans now debating whether this was a genuine relationship, an inside joke, a Ramadan ad, or even a clever promotional stunt.

However, it turned out that the viral video call was simply a behind-the-scenes moment of Saadany while he was filming “Lam Shamseya”. No grand love story, no secret Valentine’s Day confession—just a casual work moment that turned into an internet obsession.

But even with the truth out, people are still losing it. Was this an innocent on-set call? A marketing masterstroke? Or is there actually something more brewing between Menna Shalaby and Ahmed El Saadany?
