About the lead character Engin Altan Duzyatan, who essays the iconic role Ertugrul, Mehwish said “I think Engin Altan Düzyatan is pretty hot. A bit like Leonardo Di Caprio no?#crushupdated.”

Turkish drama series Ertuğrul has swept over Pakistan with its Urdu-dubbed version airing on small screens and its episodes are trending on YouTube every day.

However, several Pakistan stars have criticized the airing of the Turkish drama serial in Pakistan, saying that it will destroy the local industry.
