to Elham, hoping she would help them confront Boss Balabel to discuss a
problem. However Elham had suddenly left the country for London.

and Elham's husband. She threatened to expose this relationship and
demanded a huge amount of money to keep the secret. After that Amal
became the first actress in Balabel's troupe. A love relationship
developed between Balabel and Hosny, the son of the chief of the
troupe, who thought Balabel was under his father; she tried to go back
to his family but Amal demonstrated that she was already there. The
