Sameh el Sariti, member of the Egyptian Actors' Syndicate, denied media reports talking about the death of actor Azzat Abu Ouf, urging media outlets to be accurate before spreading false news.

These stupid rumors are meant to raise concerns over the heath of Abu Ouf, Sariti told MENA.

Abo Ouf is currently under medical observation at a private hospital after performing an open heart surgery.

Abu Ouf, who graduated from Medicine Faculty of Al Azhar, came to fame in the 1979 when he established a family band comprising his sisters and known as "Four M".

But the band split when one of his sisters got married. After that he starred in many films and was awarded many prizes at Egyptian and international festivals.
