Due to her increasing fan following in Pakistan she was offered to appear in a commercial for the famous clothing brand Khaadi. Esra accepted this huge offer. The ad made its way to Instagram, Twitter, and television as well as billboards. The ad was directed in a rather untraditional way.

Esra Bilgic in Drama Serial Ertugrul

As we mentioned earlier, Esra Bilgic has performed the role of Halime Sultan in the drama series Ertugal. It is a historic drama based upon fiction. The producer of this drama is Mehmet Bozdag. The drama is totally based on the 13th century and on the history of Muslim Oghuz Turks. It is all about the Ertugal’s life, the father of Osman 1, who was the founder of the Ottoman Empire. In recent days, all Pakistanis are going insane for Esra Bilgic portraying the character of Halime Sultan. 

Our Prime Minister Imran Khan said that this outstanding popular Turkish drama and all seasons of it should be translated into Urdu so all the people can watch it and understand it easily. He also said that Pakistani people should watch it so that they can learn and know the history. As every new episode of Ertugrul gets on the air, it makes the Pakistanis fall in love with the drama over and over again. However, the characters and actors receive way more respect and love than the show itself.

The leading role in Ertugrul is played by Engin Altan Duzyatan as Ertugrul Gazi. The other famous and amazing character is played by our attractive and good-looking Esra Bilgic. The thing about this drama serial that makes it stand out among the others is its fantastic and intriguing story. The people of Pakistan have developed a special connection with the characters. A different kind of response has been received since its first episode was aired. 

Controversy About Esra Bilgic

All the men of Pakistan have fallen in love with the enchantress Esra Bilgic after she performed the role of Halime Sultan. It is the hobby of Pakistanis to get to the social site of every new famous actress and then stalk her. They did the same with Esra Bilgic.

However, it came as a surprise to them to see Esra living her life as she wants and not like the Pakistanis expected of her. Seeing her quiet bold pictures, the moral police went to rescue. Not knowing the difference between reel and real life, they started bashing her. Many came forward giving full-fledged lectures on how she should be following the culture just because she was portrayed as a religious person in a drama. 

It is somehow funny to acknowledge that Esra Bilgic had more of an influence on the Pakistani viewers rather than the show itself. The main purpose of bringing Ertugrul to Pakistan was to make the public aware of our cultural history. It was meant to have a positive and strong impact on citizens so that they know their roots. But what it actually did was bring out the desperate need in the people to criticize everyone, not knowing their limits and bad-mouthing international stars just because they think they are responsible for what a woman chooses to wear or how she decides to live her life. Esra Bilgic did not hesitate to school the disgusting commentators and we love her for that.  Esra Bilgic has reached heights of fame and popularity in a very less time. We wish her the best of luck for future projects.
