Duraid Lahham: That's why I insisted that Hafez al-Assad attend the first performance of the play

The artist, Duraid Lahham, spoke in detail about his private life for the first time, revealing that he was married three times. The first time gave birth to Thaer and Abeer, and the second time was with his current wife, Hala Bitar. One of these marriages was with the artist, Sabah Al-Jazaery.

The marriage of Duraid Lahham and Sabah Al-Jazaery Lahham, during his interview on the “I Have a Question” program, described the relationship as a whim and a mistake that did not last long, saying: “I quickly withdrew from this marriage because it was not right.”

Duraid Lahham: My wife is patient Lahham explained that God had given him great blessings in his life, the most important of which was his wife, Hala Bitar, whom he described as a pure and patient woman, jokingly saying: “America was in a state of uproar over the relationship between Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky, while my wife endured 100 Lewinskies.”

He added, “Another blessing is that I was born Syrian. Syria, in all its meanings, represents me, and the other half of me is Lebanese because my mother is from the town of Mashghara.”

I hope to stay healthy Speaking about his wishes, he revealed that his wishes are simple, which is for God to protect him from old age diseases such as dementia and Parkinson’s, saying: “I hope to remain healthy until God takes his trust.”

Duraid Lahham, his mother and his siblings Duraid Lahham spoke about his large family, revealing that he had a large number of brothers and sisters, only three of whom were alive. He mentioned that his brother Jawad was the closest to him, even though he was unjust, saying: “He used to create problems and accuse me of causing them.”

He also recalled his first salary, which was 127 Syrian pounds, which he used to buy “gas on a wick” for 60 pounds for his mother, who was struggling while cooking.

This is what happened with the Assad regime When talking about the former regime in Syria, Lahham explained that he went to the security branch once, because no one is immune in Syria.

He insisted that Hafez al-Assad attend his first performance because if he laughed, the play would be protected. It was said that Rifaat al-Assad, Hafez al-Assad’s brother, said literally, “Dureid Lahham needs to have his tongue cut out.”
