Maya Dyab refused to act in Egyptian films

Lebanese singer Maya Dyab has announced that she has received countless offers to star in Egyptian films, but she turned all of them down due to the fact that all the roles she was nominated for are of a provocative and sexual nature. Maya stressed that she will not be termed as an artists who is only fit for demeaning sexual roles and is not willing to put her career on the line to act in any film that will show her in such a manner. Maya was a member of the popular Lebanese singing band ‘The Four Cats’ and she had taken part in the Egyptian film “Asad Wa Arba’ Qitat” (A lion and four cats).  The film starred Egyptian comedian actor Hani Ramzi, Lutfi Labeeb, Hana Al Shawraji and Hassan Husni. She also took part in the Egyptian television drama “Kalam Niswan” (Women talk) alongside Egyptian belly dancer Lucy.
