However, this marriage did not last when Warda decided to return to singing again to achieve the fame and stardom she dreamed of, and her husband did not agree to her taking the children with her. For this reason, Warda returned to Egypt to achieve stardom, and she left her son and daughter in Algeria.

After Warda returned to Egypt, the musician Baligh Hamdi was waiting for her with longing and passion, as he was in love with her. As soon as he saw her, they decided to make up for all these years, and a strong love story developed between them.
