Pakistani men feel cheated over Esra Bilgiç showing 'too much skin' in Victoria's Secret ad

The decision to play Halime Sultan in Diliris Ertugrul is becoming quite taxing for Turkish actor Esra Bilgiç. While the historical drama gained great popularity in Pakistan, thanks to PM Imran Khan, the local fans of the show repeatedly criticise the actors for living their lives outside of their characters. On top of the chart for desi trolls this week is Bilgiç, with her recent feature in Victoria’s Secret advertisement. It seems like they’re under the impression that Bilgiç is actually Halime, and it’s frankly starting to get somewhat embarrassing.

Bilgiç took to Instagram to share her collaboration with the lingerie company while promoting their latest collection, Love Cloud.

As soon as she uploaded the ad, Pakistani fans flocked to the comments to act as moral police, infiltrating the comments section with unwanted advice. Feeling cheated over the Turkish actor's choice of clothes, a user commented, “Shame on you! After Halima’s character, you should be ashamed of this type of dress.”

A deep dive in the comments section truly showed how it was a testing time for Pakistani fans of the Turkish show. They expressed their horror, cursed the actor, and questioned her decision to play Halime in the show if she wanted to “promote nudity” later.
