Pakistanis have found a special liking for the Turkish actress Esra Bilgic who plays the role Halime Sultan in the popular Turkish series Dirilis Ertugrul. Ever since PTV started broadcasting the series in Urdu, Pakistanis have been falling in love with Esra more than ever.
The love that Pakistanis have for Esra, also reached to a point where people actually went ahead to moral police her, stating how beautiful she looked in her role as Halima and that her actual wardrobe was not a good option for her as she looked more beautiful playing Halima.
However, as it seems, the love Pakistanis have for Esra surpasses everything and is reciprocated too. Recently, the actress herself took to her social media, taking out time to reply to her Pakistani fans and stated how she’d love to visit Pakistan soon.
Amongst the other things that Esra said, the best one was her desire to visit Pakistan. “I’m waitig excitedly to meet you all i Pakistan after this period,” said Esra.
In another reply to another fan, Esra said lots of love from her to Pakistan back.
Turkish series Ertugrul has become one of the latest addictions of Pakistanis. These days Pakistanis can neither stop themselves from watching the Urdu dubbed version of the series on PTV and neither can they stop moral policing the series’ Turkish actors for being different from their characters in real life. (xanax)
However, whatever moral policing Pakistanis would have done, everybody will drop everything and fall in love with Esra all the more once they find out how Esra Bilgic once school Priyanka Chopra and called her a hypocrite for promoting war.
Remember when Priyanka Chopra arrogantly replied to a girl named Ayesha Malik who had called her a hypocrite for being a UN peace ambassador and yet tweeting against Pakistan when she written “Jai Hind” in response to the pseudo surgical strike of India in Pakistan.
Priyanka Chopra was called out by a girl for being a peace ambassador and yet promoting nuclear war. Priyanka Chopra had very arrogantly snubbed the girl and shut her up. But it has been amazing to discover that Esra Bilgic had taken notice of the incident back then and schooled Priyanka Chopra for promoting war.
“Being patriotic doesn’t mean that you should encourage the war. You shouldn’t belong in a conversation concerning war as a UN goodwill ambassador. You effect many children, many people as a role model. And you were so disrespectful against a woman who just asked you a question about your statement that you shared with millions people in your own twitter account,” Esra had commented on Priyanka’s Instagram profile.
So yes, Pakistanis can go on and love Esra Bilgic all the more because the Turkish actress proved her love for Pakistanis long before Pakistanis started watching the series Ertugrul.

Ertugral fever is getting high on the heads of Pakistanis with each passing day. It is still trending on Netflix in Pakistan. People are going crazy over this historical season and its characters.
One of the main characters of the Season is Halime Sultan played by a Turkish actress Ersa Bilgic. The beautiful actress has become an international figure after being a part of this successful series. Pakistani boys are head over heels in love with this beauteous creature and currently, she has occupied the position of national crush.
Considering the raise in the interest of our lads towards this gorgeous actress we tried to dig into her personal life and to get some information about her and guess what we have got. Ersa Bilgic is married to a Turkish footballer Gökhan Töre. The couple got married in 2017 after dating each other for 3 years.
Here we have a few pictures of Helime Sultan from Dirilis: Ertugrul. She is Wife of Ertugurl.
It’s been a few months since Pakistanis got their very own Urdu dubbed version of Dirilis Ertugrul. But their love and enthusiasm for the show have only gotten intense with time. We have seen various phases of the ‘Ertugrul‘ craze in the past few months, however, this obsession is also finding its way into Pakistani weddings.
Recently, a bride decided to make an entry based on the historical Turkish drama “Ertugrul”, as she was seen riding on a horse at her entrance. Not only this, a group of young men welcomed the bride at the event by presenting a sword dance, just like the one we saw in Ertugrul, have a look!
Right after the video went viral on social media, the audience was quick enough to respond. Netizens bashed the bride for her dramatic act. Here’s what audience had to say!
Seems like Pakistanis once again have a reason to rejoice as they have discovered their very own, local Engin Altan, who plays the lead role in Dirilis: Ertugrul.
Mustafa Hanif, a Pakistani, living in Karachi became instantly famous because of his resemblance with the Turkish star, Engin Altan Duzyatan aka Ertugrul Ghazi.
Mustafa shared that his friends used to tell him about his resemblance to Engin Altan even before Ertugrul Ghazi aired on PTV in Pakistan. “My name is Mustafa and many people in my office had watched Diriliş: Ertuğrul before it even came into Pakistan or started airing on PTV. I was often told that I resemble the leading character of the serial but I never paid much heed to it. Then when my own family started watching the show and said the same, I watched it too and was baffled,” said Hanif in an interview.
Mustafa expressed his desire to visit Turkey and meet Engin Altan, the actor he shares such a sheer resemblance with.
Hanif also stated that he had been mistaken for the actor more than once while he had gone out without a face mask during the pandemic.
Ertugrul Ghazi, is a Turkish series that aired in Pakistan on PTV, dubbed in Urdu. Dirilis: Ertugrul has already been acclaimed as an international hit, its actors becoming world famous, recognized for the
Turkish series Ertugrul Ghazi (Dirilis Ertugrul in Turkish) which has been dubbed in Urdu for Pakistanis has turned into a massive hit. There is barely anyone who is not following the drama. While some people are enjoying watching it in Urdu, there are so many others who have already completed watching an entire season on other platforms. This is not the first time that a Turkish serial got so much appreciation in Pakistan. When Turkish dramas were aired for the first time in Pakistan a few years back, no one could have guessed that they would get such an overwhelming response.
At that time, many celebrities, as well as Pakistani producers, started a movement against airing Turkish dramas on prime time. They were of the opinion that such a decision would hurt the Pakistani drama industry which was just recovering from the onslaught of Indian dramas. Pakistani producers definitely see Turkish dramas as competition. Once they are dubbed in Urdu, their reach and fan following cannot be limited.
One thing is for sure that Pakistanis like watching foreign content. Even though the celebrities think airing foreign dramas in Pakistan is a move that does not help the industry, the people at the helm of affairs definitely do not think so. The people of Pakistan also, obviously welcome such moves by giving such dramas massive viewership. Even with all the opposition a year after Turkish dramas had first gone on air on Pakistani channels, seven Turkish series was being aired on prime time on various channels in Pakistan.
PTV home is not even considered a competitor when we talk about Pakistani dramas. There was a time when there was no channel other than PTV, those days are long gone. There is tough competition now and clearly PTV failed to provide the viewers with the kind of dramas that would keep them hooked. The channel which was considered the pioneer of Pakistani dramas is now airing a Turkish series dubbed in Urdu. Not only this, but they are also going to break a world record very soon because of this Turkish series! Due to the viewership which Ertugrul Ghazi brought with it, PTV’s YouTube channel’s subscriptions have soared and every episode of the series breaks the rating charts.
It is safe to say that the Pakistani viewers have given their verdict. They love this new Turkish series and they would definitely not mind watching a few more such Turkish dramas. Shaan Shahid, on the other hand, has once again shown his displeasure with the decision. Jibran Nasir too shared his thoughts on the issue. But guess what! All these Pakistani celebrities got was criticism from Ertugrul Ghazi fans!
So what is the difference between Pakistani dramas and the series Ertugrul Ghazi? Why has this series managed to get more attention and appreciation than most of the Pakistani dramas? Here is a comparison of the series with Pakistani dramas in general.
The Storylines
Ertugrul Ghazi’s storyline is not only brand new for the Pakistani fans but it is also really well written. Even those viewers who have seen 100 plus episodes of the series, find it difficult to not tune in to a new episode every day! While most Pakistani dramas focus on relationships, marriages, family politics, and love stories, Ertugrul Ghazi deals in its entirety with historical figures shaped up the Muslim world thousands of years ago. Even if Pakistani writers and producers choose to experiment every now and then, they feel to keep the viewers engaged right till the end.
There was a time when PTV used to make historic dramas but now Pakistani producers are not interested in making a drama on such lines. The typical storylines get them the TRPs and they are satisfied with that. It takes an extremely knowledgeable person, a lot of research as well as creativity to write such a story. Not to mention the fact that it must take a great deal of time and commitment to pen down a storyline which spans so many years, is covered in so many seasons.
Pakistani viewers reject Pakistani dramas that exceed more than 28 episodes yet they cannot keep themselves from watching many seasons of Ertugrul Ghazi. The reason for this is pretty clear that the Turkish series has enough substance to keep the viewers coming back from more. Even after so many episodes, the element of suspense and the connection with the characters stays intact.
The Heroes
A story’s hero definitely makes a huge difference. Pakistani viewers have a good reason to fall in love with the heroes in Ertugrul Ghazi because they are those people who contributed so much to the history which is connected to every individual who is a Muslim. Pakistani dramas have some great heroes but most often men are shown as flawed humans in our dramas who cannot even keep their wives happy!
Although Ertugrul Ghazi has its fair share of family politics, the series as a whole definitely serves a much bigger purpose. If anything, this series shows that family dynamics can be shown in a more intelligent way and that there are so many genres that the producers can experiment with.
The Production Values
This has to be the determining factor in this case because Ertugrul Ghazi’s production values are so impressive that one cannot even compare them with that of Pakistani dramas. It takes a lot of money and technology to shoot the kind of series Ertugrul Ghazi is. Even the best Pakistani films do not have the same production values as the series. The way everything has been presented on-screen shows the kind of craftsmanship too which we have hardly ever seen in a Pakistani drama. Does that mean that our producers need to invest more in dramas? They definitely should concentrate more on quality than quantity.
Although some of the Pakistani dramas have been really entertaining, the rise of Ertugrul Ghazi in Pakistan clearly suggests where the preference lies. The way Pakistani viewers from all walks of life are hooked to this show is certainly unprecedented. This should be seen as a learning experience by the Pakistani producers to come up with something on the same lines. It requires commitment and skill since keeping the viewers engaged for 300 plus episodes is not an easy feat.
Do you think Pakistani producers have the resources to make dramas like Ertugrul Ghazi? Would you like to see such dramas by Pakistani writers and producers? Share your views in the comments section below.
