Egyptian football player Mo Salah, a striker for Liverpool, has come under fire for participating in a model’s picture shoot and bringing attention to social injustices.
SelÄ‘h is featured on the cover of GQ Middle East alongside AlessÑndrÄ‘ Ambrosio, who was once VictoriÄ‘’s Secret Angel.
One version shows them standing side by side, while the other, which shows the core of the argument, shows Ambrosio engulfing him from behind.
In a behind-the-scenes film, the stylists can also be seen laughing together.

The majority of remarks, particularly in Egypt, concentrated on Selđh being embraced by the model even though she is a married Muslim woman who lives in a conservative community.
“Imagine if I were a married Muslim woman and did this,” a Twitter user said.
The controversy infuriated many to such an extent that they were unable to support the Liverpool player when he was awarded GQ’s Man of the Year for 2019.
Shah Rukh has faced a torrent of hate mail condemning him for the photos and casting doubt on his morality after disclosing the two covers of his social media accounts.
“Shame on you, Miss Mâ¹¼slim,” an Inspector said.
Selma’s mother’s life was mentioned frequently as either ending or exploding. The football player has tens of millions of admirers globally, but he hasn’t spoken to the black community yet.
SelÄ‘h’s pictures were instantly contrasted to those of other Egyptian women celebrities who had come out against behaviour they considered inappropriate. Actress Rini Yossef faced the possibility of a five-year prison sentence after showing off her legs and upper thighs in a dress she wore to a red carpet event.
Selđh has no problem posting personal photos of himself on Instagram, where his feed is brimming with cute pictures. Nonetheless, the GQ illustration exposes his challenging amalgamation of Egyptian, Muslim, and worldwide clichés, garnering a substantial following beyond the Arab realm.
Supporters of the forward questioned why he was being criticised, pointing out that he was no longer a little-known Egyptian celebrity but rather an international A-lister and that his Ambrosio photo session was stale.
