Egyptian star Yasmine Abdel Aziz has addressed the controversy surrounding the box-office earnings of her latest film “Khali Balak Men Nafsik,” explaining why she has not revealed what she considers the film’s actual earnings in Egypt.

Speaking on the sidelines of the Dear Guest Awards, she expressed her desire to share the film’s success with her fans while emphasizing the difficulty of doing so under the current circumstances.
