Actress Saba Mubarak has spoken candidly about her evolving views on marriage, revealing a hesitancy stemming from her parents’ divorce and a desire to protect her son from similar pain. Mubarak shared her reflections during an appearance on the Dubai-based television program “The Ladder and the Snake,” hosted by Nada Al Shibani, according to reports from Al Masry Al Youm and Lahamag.
Mubarak acknowledged that while she hasn’t closed herself off to the possibility of love, the decision to remarry has grow more complex with age. She attributed this shift in perspective to witnessing the impact of her parents’ separation during her childhood, compounded by her mother’s subsequent remarriage. This experience fostered a fear that her own son might endure a similar disruption, leading her to prioritize his well-being by focusing solely on his needs for a period of time.
“For a while, I preferred to dedicate my life to him alone,” Mubarak stated, as reported by El Balad TV. But, she noted a recent change, with her son now encouraging her to pursue her own happiness. Despite this support, Mubarak expressed a growing appreciation for personal freedom and independence as she matures, making significant life decisions increasingly challenging.
The actress also addressed the potential impact of her fame and success on potential partners. She acknowledged that some men might be intimidated by a successful woman, but expressed confidence in the existence of secure, accomplished individuals who are not threatened by female achievement. “I only notice the confident and accomplished man,” Mubarak said, adding that she would not consider a relationship with someone who fears her success, according to Al Watan.
Mubarak clarified that her decision to work in the Egyptian market was not motivated by financial gain. She explained that even when she left Syria amidst the unfolding events there, her earnings were only slightly lower than what she currently receives, as reported by El Balad TV. She emphasized that her move was driven by professional considerations rather than economic necessity.
