The actress recently suffered pain in her back and legs, which prevented her from shooting her final scenes in the show. The director said the disruption will not affect the serial.

Shuaib was admitted to Al-Salam International Hospital, south of Cairo, in a critical condition due to a sudden drop of blood pressure after she took a lot of medicine to ease a back pain problem.

She recently left the intensive care unit after her blood pressure stabilized. In the serial, she plays the mother of a young man (Tamer Hosni), bearing the responsibility of raising him after her husband dies inside prison.
