Maggie Bou Ghosn opens her heart.. secrets of childhood and difficulties of marriage

In her interview with media figure Anas Bukhash on the “ABTalks” program, Lebanese artist Maguy Bou Ghosn gave an honest glimpse into her childhood and upbringing in a male-dominated family, where she was the only girl among two brothers and in an extended family of 40 boys.

Special childhood and family challenges Maggie expressed her nostalgia for those days, which she described as “healthy” and free of bullying and harassment.

She also pointed out that she found comfort in this environment despite its privacy, and that she grew up with an open spirit that helped her later face the various challenges of life.

A journey of love that transcends differences Maggie talked about her marriage to producer Jamal Sinan, stressing that the difference in their religions was not an obstacle to their relationship; rather, they were brought together by common human principles based on the “Ten Commandments” found in both religions.

She described them as being committed to the basic human ethics they share. Maggie explained that her family’s support from the beginning helped solidify this marriage, which produced a son and a daughter who reject racism and sectarianism, to be a symbol of this unique union.

Harsh experiences and pain of loss Maguy Bou Ghosn also touched on the difficult experiences she went through, including her first marriage that ended in betrayal, which she described as the most difficult period of her life. She pointed out that her first marriage was not successful, and left a deep wound that she has not forgotten yet. She also talked about her recent illness and her brain tumor, which almost affected her ability to speak.

She explained that she was close to losing hope, but her strength and courage enabled her to overcome this difficult stage. She also expressed her refusal to turn the story of her first marriage into a dramatic work in order to preserve the privacy of that experience.

At the end of her talk, Maggie expressed her readiness to change some of her past decisions, including her disobedience to her family, and her grief over the loss of her father, which was a deep emotional shock, stressing that she carries in her heart many wounds and memories that she has not yet forgotten.
