Journalists and reporters that gathered around Basma in the special release of her movie “The Traveler” were shocked when they were received with rejection. Actress Basma had declined to comment on her new movie. Reporters explained this bizarre behavior from her side could be her fear or discomfort that reporters and journalists will bring up her relationship with political activist Amr El Hamzawy. A while back both of them were attacked in her car in the 6th of October area by thugs. Upon their capture the thugs confessed that they did see both Basma and Amr in her car together, but they never attempted an attack on them.
