Egyptian singer-actress and TV host Mona Abd El Ghany portrayed the role of Egypt’s First Lady Entissar El Sisi, wife of President Abdel Fattah El Sisi, in the third season of the acclaimed TV series “El Ekhteyar” (The Choice).

The episode also featured Yasser Galal as President Sisi before he came to office after the June 30 Revolution in 2013.

The makeup team successfully transformed the Galal into El Sisi despite the difference between their features.
