A video circulating on social media titled "Tamer Hosny and Hana El Zahed's engagement" has caused controversy as viewers speculate about whether or not the couple is really engaged. The video shows El Zahed wearing a dress akin to an engagement dress, while Hosny is wearing a suit. However, a source inside the film “Restart” from which the video is believed to have come from, has confirmed that the engagement scene is fictional, and the celebration was for Hosny's birthday. Hosny had shared another video on his personal Instagram account, showing him being surprised by residents from the Shubra area in Egypt while shooting his latest film, “Restart” with El Zahed. Hosny denies any romantic involvement with El Zahed and thanked his fans for their support.
