Chafic’s Journey on Love Is Blind Habibi
Chafic, an entrepreneur and philanthropist, and Dounia, a content creator, formed a profound connection despite their unique backgrounds. Over time, they gradually revealed more about themselves to each other, leading to a meaningful bond between them.
When Dounia noticed Chafic’s closeness with Nour, she seemed to become jealous. After the holiday ended, they met each other’s parents. As the wedding day arrived, Dounia announced not to go further with the ceremony.
