"I'm an interviewer in general," he stated, referring to the specifics of his relationship with his spouse and their disparate personalities. She enjoys going out and interacting with people, but I like to stay at home and be by myself. That's my preference when it comes to socializing. My mood has improved because, as an actor, I need to be outgoing and socially engaged. She has been really helpful to me in this regard and absolutely encourages me to pursue it."
He giggles and says, "She's been to Egypt once before, but hopefully, she'll return soon."
When discussing the relationship between two distinct cultures, Mina stated that the greatest way for them to get to know one another is through food: "We truly enjoy each other's cuisine. She adores Egyptian cuisine, and I adore Indian cuisine. She says, 'I want falafel,' and she always eats falafel and fowl when she visits my mom's house. She likes my mom's filled vegetables as well.
"I really like okra, bhindi (okra), but they make it in a different way, and lantal dal." He also lists his favorite Indian foods. "I love a lot of Indian food."
He stated that they are considering collaborating on a creative endeavor in the future, adding, "We'll see if we can do something together... We were considering making an action film like Mr. & Mrs. Smith.
Even in their everyday lives, despite their numerous differences, they enhance one another: "Of course, she exercises very seriously and exercises very seriously." She most likely visits the gym more frequently than I do.
He wrapped it up by discussing their collaboration as producers, saying, "Believe me, we're producing together right now. She produces alongside me at my production company, so we work on many projects together."
Mena Massoud and Emily Shah Announce Their Wedding Date
Mena Massoud stated on the Egyptian ON channel's "With Mona El Shazly" program that he fell in love with Emily Shah while he was residing in Los Angeles.
He went on, "We got to know one another for a time before we really started dating, and we met when I was living in Los Angeles. We got to know one another over the course of a year. She travels frequently because she is an actress and production worker, and her father is a well-known producer in India, just as I used to travel for work."
Mena stated that Emily's kind disposition and certain characteristics, which made him feel at home among Egyptians, drew him to her.
"What I enjoyed most about her is that she reminded me of Egyptians," he added, "yet her mother is American and her father is Indian." Her spirit and impressions are the same. She produces many items that I adore and is an excellent cook. I adore the Indian meal known as "Egyptian" okra, although they prepare it differently.
The two families' relationship is marked by an atmosphere of love and respect for one another, which has strengthened their tie. Mina added, "From our side and her family's side, there is mutual respect and love, and that has helped the relationship grow stronger."
He disclosed that the wedding will take place in late July. He mentioned that he had known Emily since 2018, before the premiere of his well-known movie "Aladdin," and that she had always been a fan of both him and the movie.
