About his brother and his ex-wife... Ahmed Saad’s most prominent statements with Anas Bukhash

In his latest media appearance , Egyptian artist Ahmed Saad spoke about various topics, including the reason for his separation from his ex-wife, Alia El-Basiouni, his love for the day of his death, his resort to a psychiatrist, and other matters.

Saad, who was a guest on the AB Talks program with Emirati journalist Anas Bukhash , revealed that he had sought refuge in a psychiatrist. Because he suffered from the problem of “showmanship” during his artistic career, as he was always trying to show off himself to attract the attention of those around him. He also refused to listen to others, and all that mattered to him was making himself the center of attention and admiration.

Saad pointed out that he considers the problem of “appearance” a “tragedy” for him, as his attempt to attract the attention of others as a young child made him struggle internally to give his best and stay at the forefront.

Ahmed Saad and Amr Saad Regarding his relationship with his brother Amr Saad , he explained that his relationship with his brother is a relationship of friendship, stressing that there was no challenge between them even though they are the only ones in the family who practiced art.

Saad described his brother as a “cruel” person who expresses his opinions harshly, but in the end he realizes that his opinion is correct and in his interest.

The artist revealed that he left his home at the age of 15 out of a desire to settle down, but he described this decision as the worst decision he had made in his life. Because he was always trying to prove himself to others.

He said: I left home when I was 15 years old. I chose that I wanted to be independent in my life and I did not smoke cigarettes or do anything in life, and I preferred to live all the time to prove to them that my point of view was correct.

Saad added: All my life I have proven to people and I never thought of proving to myself, and everyone graduates in their childhood. I used to go to work in 4 places behind each other and grab the composer’s bag and make him tea so I can sing and recite Mawawil.

Ahmed Saad’s separation from his wife Saad explained that his separation from his wife, fashion designer Alia Bassiouni, was one of the most difficult stages of his life, as he described his exit from the relationship as “selfishness,” as he believed that his interest was to continue with it.

He described what happened between them as a "dissolution", as their relationship began to focus only on his professional life, as the things they enjoyed began to disappear.

Saad added that his relationship with Alia deteriorated due to his artistic success, indicating that he tried to rebuild their relationship again, saying: I tried to build my relationship with her again and told her that I remember when we were going out, I remember when we were friends, and I made a song that talks about this story, it will be released soon.

Saad revealed that he loves the day he dies very much, as he sees it as a freedom from everything that restricts him, pointing out that he recorded a song in which he laments himself, and that it will be released immediately after his death.

He said: I want to live in peace inside and outside, and I had a strange dream when I was 25 years old and I saw very strange things about myself, and I woke up from the dream dead from crying.
