It is no surprise that Celal Al who is currently sightseeing Pakistan as part of a Turkish delegation that recently made its way for a meeting with Prime Minister Imran Khan, is counselling the nation's film and drama diligence to locally produce shows that may be as awe-inspiring for the youth, as his hit series Dirilis Ertugrul.

Al, who is spending his time at the capital, is all-praise for the generosity fellow Pakistani people have shown for his welcome.

The Ertugrul star, shared some patriotic pictures on Instagram during his visit, rooting for a Pakistani-Turkey brotherhood for lifetime and sending his love to fans residing in the nation.

A photo posted by Instagram (@instagram) on

"Your brothers and sisters from Turkey are with you, and along with greeting you with salam, they are also praying for you," his caption read. "Dil Dil Pakistan, Can Can Pakistan, Turkiye Pakistan brotherhood zindabad İnshallah Alhamdulıllah."

Previously, Adnan Siddiqui and Humayun Saeed who were also part of this visit, shared glimpses of the wonderful evening full of fun on social media.

A photo posted by Instagram (@instagram) on

"The man in the middle stands tall in physical appearance and commands immense respect as an actor-star too. Abdur Rehman on-screen and real life Celal AL has won many hearts in Pakistan with his role of a valorous warrior who is distinct in actions and thoughts. We were no exception!" the Mere Paas Tum Ho star posted.

"Look at the grins on our faces! For the entire time he was in the room, it was bursting with an infectious joie de vivre. Didn’t feel like we were meeting him for the first time."

He had also revealed his personal fan moment, excitedly: “Though he says he’s fallen in love with Pakistan and our hospitality, I must tell you my friend, you have got two fans for life in megastar Mr Humayun Saeed and a fairly popular actor, yours truly."

One don't have to showcase a fully grown beard in order to visit Pakistan. Pakistan is a very modern and moderate country with no restrictions on the type of beard one has to have in order to feel welcome.

@IMRAN QURAISHI come on we are hardly a moderate or modern country. You have to go outside Islamabad and see the rest of Pakistan too. Governments may come and go, but we are still run by mullahs. Illiteracy is still high. How we reacted to women's day march including breaking through barriers like savages attacking marchers show how "moderate" we are. But no you don't have to have a beard or specific hair cut to visit Pakistan. As a guy especially nobody cares even if you walk around shirtless. But for female visitors there's a lot of cultural norms and traditions including what you wear in public. Turkey is however moderate and modern in true meaning of the word. Women go out even at night time and there is not much danger. They can wear skirts, go wherever they like, do where ever they like and education wise their nation is high in literacy. They don't force convert or kill minorities. Their women don't need a man's consent to get married, divorced or an abortion. They're equals.

Anybody who has mixed with Turks and been to turkey can confirm there culture is quite different from ours. We in Pakistan even censor intimate scenes of their dramas and we are not secular like Turkey. Turkish women are free to march, marry, divorce and decide over their hearts, minds and bodies without the consent of interference of males. In Pakistan most would have cardiac arrest if women here did that.

Conspiracy theories and total rewriting of history to benefit whatever identity crises some of us Pakistanis are going through is rife in the comment section. And everybody who disagrees with this factually wrong and recently fabricated "history" which flies in the face of history, anthropology and genealogy will be labeled an Indian, hindu or just jealous. Personal attacks will never substitute counter argumentation. Facts:Turks never ruled the subcontinent. We are culturally not similar, nor do we share their blood.

Despite Turks never ruled or invaded the subcontinent we did in fact have many other invaders, and they were just that, invaders. They didnt come peacefully, knock on doors asking to settle down and suddenly intermarry or romantically woo our women. They invaded and did what invaders do. Violent times. Millions of locals were killed at times. Our history spans thousands and thousands of years. Predating even Islam and all other religions. We are not Arabs, Turks, Persians. Even they make fun of us because they know how desperate some of us are to latch on to their heritage, culture and ethnicity. It defies logic why one can not celebrate our own rich and long standing subcontinental history and diversity. Rewriting history won't work. Anybody can acces history books and look this up. We clearly need somebody to make an epic show about our rich history because clearly the schools are not doing their job well enough going by the lack of knowledge about own history and basic facts.
