Hande Erçel breaks down on #ABtalks: 'I'm More Than Just a Pretty Face'
ALBAWABA - Hande Erçel opens up about grief, fame, identity, and healing. The popular Turkish actress Hande Erçel, who stars in Disney+'s Aşkı Hatırla, had a deep, one-on-one chat with Anas Bukhash on #ABtalks that fans rarely get to see. When someone asks, "How are you really?" Hande stopped and thought about what was going on in her mind. She talked a lot about how she was feeling, calling it a mix of "quiet storms" and "gentle hope." Then Bukhash asked, "Who are you?" This made her think about how her fame has often made her inner voice less clear. #ABtalks Instagram profile Erçel began by saying that her childhood was "vibrant, curious, and fragile." She then went on to talk about one of her favorite memories: running barefoot with her mother in the summer rain. There was pain mixed with the happiness. "Did anyone ever make you feel like you didn't matter?" When Bukhash asked her about it, she answered honestly, telling him about times when she felt invisible in crowded places even though everyone loved her. The chat got more personal when she talked about losing her mother, which changed her whole outlook on life. "What changed about the way you see life after your mom died?" "Life became incredibly fragile—but also profoundly precious," Erçel told Bukhash in response to his question. #ABtalks Instagram profile Bukhash wasn't afraid to look into how fame affected people. He asked, "Are people thinking that your good looks are what you're good at?" Hande said that she had been judged on how she looked instead of how good she was at her job. She argued that beauty wasn't just about looks; it was also about confidence, kindness, and being yourself. "I want to be remembered for my true heart, not just a role," she said when asked about her hopes and dreams. She said, "Maybe one day," which was a thoughtful answer that put time over pressure. Her soft answer to Bukhash's question, "If your heart could talk, what would it say?" was, "Slow down." Feel very much. "You're enough." Then there was a quick round: biggest fear? "Getting lost in my own life." Last time she saw her mom? "That soft smile before bed." She said that she finds peace in forgiving and letting go, but she will never forget. At the end of the talk, it was clear that Hande Erçel is worth a lot more than just her looks and fame. Through her openness, strength, and depth, she showed that she had rebuilt herself after losing someone, and she was always looking for sincerity, making her soul shine brighter than any spotlight.

Mert Ramazan Demir Instagram story At the same time as he shines with the character Ferit that he portrays in the series "Yalı Çapkını," he also attracts attention with his private life behind the camera and does not slip out of the agenda of the magazine. At Wimbledon, which is considered to be one of the most renowned tennis championships in the world and is hosted in England, the young actor went to witness the Turkish tennis player Zeynep Sonmez and her opponent. The photographs were posted on social media with the caption "Zeyno Show!" by Demir, who was a spectator at the match and was following it with great interest. In contrast, Zeynep Somez accomplished a feat that has never been accomplished before by reaching the following round of the Wimbledon tournament.

Afra Saraçoğlu ditches ‘Yalı Çapkını' flame for Engin Akyürek in bold new romance series
ALBAWABA - Afra Saraçoğlu stirs controversy with steamy new role alongside Engin Akyürek. The miniseries Istanbul My Love, which starred Afra Saraçoğlu and Engin Akyurek, debuted on Go Türkiye's official YouTube channel on June 24, 2025. In the center of Istanbul, it blends the enchantment of technology with the ambiance of love. Ten little episodes, each no more than three minutes in length, make up the series, which is directed by Ozan Aciktan and employs a creative narrative that combines technology and human emotions. The protagonist of the tale is a young businesswoman (Afra) who thinks that love can be programmed through an artificial intelligence program she created. She approaches Tan, a prosperous but emotionally distant businessman (played by Engin Akyurek), with the concept, and he challenges her to find him true love in three dates. He'll put money into her business if the program works. The two go on an emotional trip that alters their perspective on relationships as the experiment progresses. The most crucial query still stands: Does love exist in the specifics of the city itself, or can it be programmed? Istanbul My Love Youtube The series, which was shot entirely in Istanbul, is as much a narrative examination of fate and emotions as it is a visual ode to the city. Through famous sites including Çırağan Palace, the Rixos Tirsan Hotel, Galataport, the Atatürk Cultural Center in Taksim, Karaköy, the Bosphorus, and Beyoğlu, it transports spectators on a sensory adventure. Yasemin Kay Allen and Ilayda Akdoğan are also included in the series, which gives the narrative more dramatic depth while fusing Istanbul's beauty, history, and soul into a contemporary love story. Istanbul My Love YouTube The show is a component of an international digital effort that aims to introduce Istanbul to viewers in Europe and the Middle East. The project blends the sophistication of digital love with the charm of the old city, showcasing stunning images and a heartfelt story. The official Go Türkiye YouTube channel is presently offering Istanbul, My Love for free viewing. With the hashtag related to the show trending in multiple countries, "Istanbul My Love" has been a big success on social media. Comments from the audience praised the obvious chemistry between Afra Saraçoğlu and Engin Akyürek. Istanbul My Love YouTube "Their coordination is ooof" and "Afra literally suits everyone" were two of the most well-liked remarks. One fan commented, "They're really lovely. Take them into account for his upcoming series. Still another said, "They're so pretty, and their coordination is wonderful." Despite this excitement, others said they preferred Afra's acting relationship with Engin in the new series above her chemistry with Mert Ramazan Demir in "Yalı Çapkını" (The Kingfisher), citing the latter's stronger chemistry.
