Hussein Al Mahdi enters the golden cage in the presence of Gulf stars

Kuwaiti artist Hussein Al Mahdi celebrated his wedding in a warm and joyful atmosphere, just days after surprisingly announcing his engagement on his official accounts. The ceremony was held away from the media spotlight, but numerous photos were shared by his friends and colleagues on social media, documenting the beautiful moments that combined joy and privacy.

Gulf stars share Hussein Al Mahdi's joy

The party was attended by a number of prominent Gulf artists who were keen to congratulate Al Mahdi and share his happy moments. Mansour Al Balushi posted a photo with him on Snapchat and wrote: “Congratulations, dear Abu Ali,” while Shihab Jawhar shared a selfie from the party with the comment: “Congratulations,” and Nasser Al Dosari wrote: “Congratulations, Abu Ali.” Hassan Abdul commented: “May Al Mahdi’s wedding be blessed, God willing.” Also present were artists Dawood Hussein, Tariq Al Ali, and a number of close friends from the artistic and media communities.

A surprise announcement and a touching message from the groom

A few days before the wedding, Hussein Al Mahdi surprised his fans by announcing his engagement through an Instagram post in which he appeared wearing traditional Kuwaiti clothing, and wrote: “Praise be to God, by whose grace good deeds are accomplished. My engagement has taken place, and I ask God to please my parents and grant me and you success, provision, and righteousness.” The ad garnered widespread attention, particularly since it did not reveal the bride's identity, merely confirming that his life partner was from outside the artistic community, a desire he had previously expressed in previous interviews.
