Naga has used his status as a film star in the Arab region and even before as a TV celebrity to raise awareness for a variety of issues in Egypt and the Middle East. He played a pivotal role among others in the pro-democracy movement that culminated in the Tahrir square Egyptian revolution of January 25, 2011. He organized events and concerts in support of religious tolerance. He advocated strongly to support Egyptian minorities as in the case of the violence against the copts. He was also one of the very early voices that supported taboo subjects in Egypt and the region like HIV awareness and FGM horrific practices.
