Ertugrul's Esra Bilgic responds to love from Pakistani fans

Ertugrul's Esra Bilgic responds to love from Pakistani fans

See what happens when you say nice things instead of trolling?
Updated 19 May, 2020

Pakistan is obsessed with Dirilis Ertugrul and its cast.

One of the cast members frequently is the spotlight is Esra Bilgic, known for her role as Halime Sultan. And for some trolls, known as Halime Sultan.

Esra made quite a few headlines here when screenshots of Pakistani fans moral policing her pictures on Instagram started spreading across social media. However, not only were those troll called out by Pakistani fans, there were also genuine comments of love and admiration on her posts by the latter.

And guess what? Esra has responded to those genuinely positive messages.

Looks like the appreciation left an impact on the actor, who expressed her interest in visiting Pakistan.

See what happens when you're truly nice instead of being a hater? Let's all be kinder on the internet from now on.

After this whole incident wit Pakistanis males rushing to her Instagram to judge her and tell her what to wear and how to behave, I did sneak a peek at her Instagram. Not only is she drop dead gorgeous, but also seems to be a sweetheart with how she graceful handled these trolls by not answering. I wish her all the best. Maybe this exposure can open the narrow closed minds of any Pakistanis who seem to think all Muslims dress, think, behave identically. Muslims are not homogenous. Just enjoy the show.

We welcome her in advance. Also I hope the 'moral police' and 'immoral police' never gets close her when she gets soon. I hope She stays in Pakistan and will get love and never gets to see a debate between 'gairat brigade' and begairat brigade'

Let's see if our media industry can match this fabulous work with some of our own historical drama in the future. For me, the best performance in Dirilis Ertugrul is by Serdar Gökhan who played Sulyman Shah, father of Ertugrul.

The drama was fantastic and showed blood and cultural ties to our brother turks. All the actors were brilliant. Hope more Turk dramas are shown and our dramas are shown in turkey.

Pakistani dramas and movies are coming up to a high standard. I am sure ' zarrar' will be dubbed and shown in turkey and they will love it.

I saw all of Dirilis Ertugrul a very long time ago in Turkish itself. 3rd and 1st season were the best, 4th was fine and 2nd, 5th were just dragging it... As a person who understands Turkish and Hindi (and therefore understands most of Urdu), I think that the urdu version has been dubbed to sound a little more religious. It almost seems like they have tried to bring out that aspect very deliberately. I mean, nothing wrong with it but people should be aware of that. I feel that a lot of actors in the cast have been thrown in a bad spotlight as a result of this and are frequently attacked on twitter or instagram. Remember that it's just a tv story. It may be the true story but a heavily fictitious version of a true story.

@Zak We Pakistanis do not have blood or cultural ties with Turkey. Fact. We have cultural ties and ethnic similarities with the Bengalis, and India (South East Asia) There are scientific studies and history to verify this. Is there a particular reason you want to claim Turkish heritage and ethnicity? Do you speak Turkish? No. What Turkish cultural traditions do you observe? None. Our cuisine, our dress, our traditions (rukhsati, joint family system, jahez), our language verything is South Asian and linked to modern day India. No surprise, as we used to share all that once before partition etc. Turkey is between Europe and Asia, actually Western Asia and they even look different than us. I don't understand why many of Pakistanis want to rewrite history and facts and claim other people's history and lineage. Is there something shameful in being desi, and South Asian? Is our own culture vibrant and interesting enough?
