Amina Khalil Is Ready to Get Hitched
Yara Sameh
Egyptian actress Amina Khalil celebrated her henna night ahead of her wedding. The henna night is a celebration held by brides in several Arab cultures before the wedding in which they gather with their girlfriends, get to dance freely, and wear different costumes without any men around.
The intimate ceremony was confined to her celebrity friends, including Jamila Awad.
Khalil put on a soft look for the ceremony and donned a white satin dress, wore her hair loose, and did her makeup simply that highlight her face.
"Minmin is the bride... Spicy Gurls night," she wrote on Instagram, without revealing any additional details.
The photo went viral online and sparked widespread discussion about the wedding date and the identity of the groom, especially given the bride-to-be's continued secrecy about her romance.
The ceremony comes days after Khalil's went viral over rumors of her engagement to photographer Ahmed Zaatar following their appearance together at the 78th Cannes Film Festival.
Despite the circulation of photos, the actress has neither directly confirmed nor denied the news.
In previous press statements, Khalil commented on the circulating news about her personal life, emphasizing that she is keen to maintain her privacy.
"I chose to be an actress, but not everyone in my life chose fame, so they shouldn't have to pay the price for my decision... When I get ready to talk, I will share my happiness with you, " she said.
The identity of the groom and the wedding details remain the subject of speculation among Khalil's fans, who have chosen to keep her love life away from the spotlight for now.

Daniella Pineda, Allison Robertson, and J.K. Simmons also star in the film, penned by Bill Dubuque, with Affleck, Lynette Howell Taylor, and Mark Williams producing.
