Abdullah Al-Sadhan Breaks Silence: Secrets of “Tash Ma Tash” & Wife Controversy
In a candid interview on the Almalaz podcast, Saudi artist Abdullah Al-Sadhan addressed several controversies that have surrounded his career in recent years. The interview offered clarity on the end of the beloved series “Tash Ma Tash,” his relationship with co-star Nasser Al-Qasabi, and the public’s reaction to his wife’s appearance at the Joy Awards 2023.
Addressing the Critics: My Wife is Not a Stranger
Al-Sadhan responded to the criticism following his appearance with his wife at the Joy Awards 2023, clarifying that the event was not planned and that the cameras simply captured them together. He stated, “This is my wife, and she’s not a stranger for me to feel awkward sitting next to her.” He added, with a touch of reproach, “When I go to the market with my wife, do I walk away from her? The natural thing is that we walk together. Criticism only comes if the woman is a stranger.”
The Artistic Separation from Al-Qasabi: A Difference in Vision
Al-Sadhan also discussed his artistic separation from Nasser Al-Qasabi, emphasizing that the disagreement was not personal, but a result of differing artistic visions for the future of “Tash Ma Tash.” He explained, “Disagreement is natural in any artistic work; I may be right, or he may be right, but social media amplified the issues and took them out of context.” He pointed out that some rumors surrounding their separation stemmed from a misunderstanding of the jokes they shared while promoting the series. The actual decision to end the series, he clarified, revolved around whether to conclude it at the eighteenth season or continue to the twentieth.
Through these statements, Abdullah Al-Sadhan has clarified his position on these recent issues, reaffirming that his relationship with art and the public remains based on the honesty and simplicity for which his fans have known him. (Source: Annahar)
