The great artist Faten El Helou expressed her deep thanks to the artist Ashraf Zaki, the captain of acting professions, for his founding “House of Senior Artists”, stressing that this decision was an important step to protect her family from the material and psychological pressures that they went through during the recent period.
Al -Helou said in her statements that she chose to stay in the house after her continuous health suffering, which greatly affected her life and the lives of her daughters and grandchildren.
She explained that the costs of her treatment were exhausted by the family, especially with the difficult circumstances they went through, but she confirmed that her decision was not due to neglect of her family, but rather in search of a place that provides her with psychological comfort and safety in her advanced age.
Al -Helou added: “My daughters did not leave me for a moment, but I felt that the house would be the best place for me at this stage.” He praised the support of her two daughters, Dahab and Camelia, with whom they endured all the financial and psychological burdens.
She also touched on a difficult period that they passed through after the collapse of some of the circus’ branches that were run by the family due to the financial crises associated with the Koruna’s pandemic, which made the decision to reside in the house the best option.
Speaking of her artistic career, Al -Helou confirmed that the Al -Helou family will always remain an integral part of the history of the Egyptian circus, expressing her pride in the continuation of her daughters in developing this field despite the challenges.
