Cairo 24 has denied, citing its sources, the reports about the Egyptian artist Aisha Al-Kelani being diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease following the controversy sparked by her recent appearance in a tribute video during the Actors' Syndicate festival for Egyptian theater yesterday.
According to the source, her appearance is attributed to signs of aging associated with advancing years, which explains the spontaneous movements that caught attention during the event.
The festival had decided to honor her for her overall artistic contributions in recognition of her career and contributions to Egyptian art. Aisha Al-Kelani is known for her comedic roles and her light-hearted female characters, and she began her professional career in the 1980s.
