Yasmin Seif Allah Abu El-Naga, the only daughter of actress Naglaa Fathy, passed away on Sunday following a sudden heart attack at the age of 44, leaving her family and her mother’s fans in a state of deep sadness.
Her father, actor Seif Abu El-Naga, announced the news of her death and stated that her funeral procession would take place after the evening prayer. The news sparked widespread sadness among the family and the late Yasmin’s friends, particularly because she had chosen to remain away from the spotlight throughout her life.
🕊️ Rare Appearance of Yasmin With Her Mother Naglaa Fathy
At the same time as news of her death spread, a rare interview featuring actress Naglaa Fathy and her daughter Yasmin resurfaced. During the interview, Yasmin appeared in a candid conversation with her mother, offering a glimpse into their relationship and their private life away from fame and media attention.
During the interview, Naglaa Fathy spoke about her relationship with her daughter, explaining that Yasmin was very proud of her mother’s real name, “Fatma El-Zahraa,” and would use that name when people asked about her mother.
Naglaa Fathy said: “Yasmin was very proud of my name. Whenever someone asked her, she would tell them Fatma El-Zahraa. When she sees me on television, I don’t feel that she is very excited. When she watches another actor, she becomes absorbed, but when it is me, she just looks at me, discusses the film with me, and stops watching.”
🎬 An Emotional Reaction to the Film “Hob La Yara El Shams”
Naglaa Fathy also recalled an emotional moment involving her daughter after Yasmin watched the film “Hob La Yara El Shams,” explaining that the story had a strong emotional impact on her.
Naglaa Fathy said: “She watched the film ‘Hob La Yara El Shams’ and cried for three days, asking me, ‘How could they take your son from you and you agree to that?’”
Her words reflected the close relationship between Naglaa Fathy and her daughter, particularly as Yasmin viewed her mother primarily as a mother rather than simply as a famous movie star. This was evident in her emotional reactions to her mother’s film roles.
