Why did Hala Rushdi wish for death?

Actress Hala Rushdi revealed the most difficult period in her life, when she wished for death. She mentioned brief details without mentioning the reason for her reaching this state.

Hala Rushdi: I cried and wished for death Hala Rushdi said in the podcast “Tanfas” presented by the media figure Ayman Hossam on his official channel on the famous video site YouTube, that she lived through difficult days to the point that she was crying and hitting her head on the ground, and she was repeating during prayer, “Why did God leave me alive? I want to die.”

Hala also revealed the rituals she follows before going on stage in her concerts, and explained that she is keen to read verses from the Holy Quran before facing the audience and tries to sleep well but fails due to tension.

She continued: "In general, I try to be calm, and I drink a lot of water before going on stage because facing the audience is not an easy task."
