Despite the inaccuracy of the news, the phrase "Mona Zaki divorce" topped search queries about the actress on Google. The public searched for "Mona Zaki divorce" following the numerous criticisms directed at her for her participation in the film "Aṣḥāb wa Lā Aʿz" and her appearance in a scene where she removes her underwear, which upset many of her fans, according to the website Film In Art.
The audience also looked for "Aṣḥāb wa Lā Aʿz full movie" and "Mona Zaki's new movie on Netflix" to watch the controversial film that stirred discussions in recent hours. Actress Mona Zaki faced severe criticism and backlash from social media users shortly after her film "Aṣḥāb wa Lā Aʿz" was released on one of the streaming platforms, with accusations of promoting homosexuality and her unprecedented bold appearance.
The hashtag "Aṣḥāb wa Lā Aʿz" surged in popularity on social media in the last few hours, becoming one of the trending topics in the Arab world. Activists expressed their outrage over Mona Zaki’s actions in the film, particularly criticizing her use of language deemed "pornographic," especially since the audience was familiar with her avoidance of daring roles that do not align with the prevailing traditions of Eastern society.
Additionally, Member of Parliament Mustafa Bakri submitted an urgent statement to the House of Representatives against the film "Aṣḥāb wa Lā Aʿz," saying, "The film 'Aṣḥāb wa Lā Aʿz' is contrary to values and ethics, featuring major stars we once loved and respected, but now they are helping to promote strange values that clash with Egyptian society's values and impact Egyptian families."
The film "Aṣḥāb wa Lā Aʿz" is adapted from the Italian film "Perfect Stranger" and revolves around seven friends who gather for dinner and decide to play a game where everyone places their mobile phones on the dinner table, with the condition that all messages or calls are visible to all. The game quickly turns from being fun and interesting to a barrage of scandals and secrets that no one, not even the closest friends, was aware of.
