Al-Youm Al-Sabea TV provided special coverage covering the details of star Nelly Karim’s separation from squash player Hisham Ashour, after two and a half years of marriage, as confirmed by sources close to both parties. The sources also did not comment on the reasons for the separation, only confirming the news.
The coverage presented by our colleague Mohamed Abu Laila touched on the first meeting between Hisham Ashour, the former squash player, and the artist Nelly Karim in El Gouna for the first time, as the duo married several years ago, before they announced their separation today.
The coverage reviewed Nelly Karim’s journey during the drama race last Ramadan, where she participated in the Strawberry series written by Mohamed Suleiman Abdel Malek, directed by Mohamed Ali and produced by Ahmed Desouky, starring Nelly Karim, Shaima Seif, Sedqi Sakhr, Ahmed Fahim, Ola Rushdi, Haggag Abdel Azim, Donia Samy, Tony Maher and a large number of guests of honor, including artist Samar Morsy.
The artist, Nelly Karim, hinted at the separation through her official Instagram account and said: “A person grows three times his age when he tries to adapt to a life that is not suitable for him.” Nelly Karim and Hisham Ashour got married at the end of 2011, in a large ceremony held in the city of El Gouna. It was attended by stars of Egyptian and Arab art.
