Renowned Egyptian film critic Tarek El Shenawy has addressed the questions surrounding his decision to appear on a program hosted by blogger Mohamed Taher, particularly given the controversial discussions and reactions often associated with Taher’s content.
During an episode of the program “Tafaseel,” hosted by media personality Nehall Tael on Sada El Balad 2, El Shenawy was asked directly about his appearance with Mohamed Taher and what led him to participate in the episode.
Nehall Tael asked him: “What took you to Mohamed Taher’s program, and how can someone make a comment from behind the camera?”
The question opened the door for El Shenawy to explain his perspective on the nature of the discussions taking place during Taher’s episodes.
🔥 Tarek El Shenawy Comments on Ashraf Zaki’s Remark

El Shenawy recalled a conversation concerning actress Menna Fadali, saying that Taher had asked Zaki what should be done if Fadali wanted to stop acting.
According to El Shenawy, Zaki responded by suggesting that she should get married.
El Shenawy then made a sarcastic comparison about how the public might have reacted if he himself had made the same comment.
He said: “Mohamed Taher said to Ashraf Zaki in his episode, ‘Menna Fadali wants to stop acting, what should we do?’ He told him, ‘She should get married.’ If I were the one who said that, they would have hanged me in Tahrir Square, but when the syndicate head said it, it was completely normal.”
