    The “sharp” attacks mostly targetted the well-known Egyptian actress Mona Zaki for a disputable scene, but her fans, as well as many actors and actresses, rushed to stand in solidarity with the actress, including Egypt’s professional actors’ union.

    Despite all the controversial opinions, and that it was just released on January 20th, the Arabic remake of Perfect Strangers has taken the Top 1 position in 11 Middle-Eastern countries, the Top 2 in France, and the Top 9 Worldwide (as of the time of writing).
