limelight.Ruby's second video was released in early 2004. The video
was titled "Leih Beydary Kedah" (Why Is He Hiding His Feelings Like
This?) and directed by Sherif Sabri; the video again also featured
provocative scenes. Her third music video "El Gharaam (Koll Amma

Kotcheena (7 Playing Cards). The film was banned by the governments of
some Arabic countries due to its usage of erotic themes.Ruby was
questioned in numerous interviews about her provocative style and
suggestive moves, to which she responded that she does not consider
herself to be a sex symbol. She was also rumoured to be married to her
manager, Sherif Sabri, but they have both denied the rumour.
