Born on July 24, 1981, Shalaby is the daughter of former belly dancer and actress Zizi Mustafa.
She showed a passion for acting from a very early age, no doubt due to the exposure to the industry her mother’s fame provided.
Shalaby made her film debut in “Al Saher” ("The Magician") in 2001. She landed her next role alongside prominent actress Layla Elwy in the 2004 film “Baheb El Seema”.
Since then, she co-starred with many talented actors and directors such as renowned director Youssef Chahine in the film “Heya Fawda” (2007), Ahmed Abdallah in the film “Microphone” (2010), and Yousry Nasrallah in the film “Baad el Mawkeaa” (2012) about the infamous Battle of the Camel during the January 25 uprising.
