The star of the famous actress Elçin Sangu shone with the TV series Kiralık Aşk, which was broadcast on Star TV between 2015 and 2017. The actress could not take part in a long-term project after Kiralık Aşk.
The actress, who rose to the top of her career with the TV series Kiralık Aşk, was a guest of the “Tonight with İbrahim Selim” program broadcast on YouTube and surprised her fans with the statements she made about the TV series Kiralık Aşk.
Actress Elçin Sangu created surprise with her answer, “I rejected Kiralık Aşk TV series twice”, to the question “Did you feel beforehand that Kiralık Aşk would be successful?” by the presenter İbrahim Selim.
It turns out that Elçin Sangu accepted the offer from Kiralık Aşk at the insistence of producer Ümmü Burhan at that time. The actress spoke about the subject as follows; “I rejected ‘Kiralık Aşk’ twice. If Umm Hanım hadn’t convinced me, I wouldn’t be here right now, let me tell you that.
Umm Hanım asked me, ‘My daughter, what will you lose? You have a very childlike energy. No one saw this on screen. How much drama? At least try this. You would have tried the most romantic comedies,’ he said. That’s how I got into that job.”
Elçin Sangu was not the only name who reached the top of her career with Kiralık Aşk. Her co-star Barış Arduç was also recognized by a wide audience with the same series. Producer Ümmü Burhan is known as the person who brought together two famous actors in Kiralık Aşk at that time.
Burhan said in a statement at that time: “While working on Kiralık Aşk, this happens in every project, a lot of cast members are talked about, it is said who would be the most suitable. I met Elçin a long time ago and liked it very much, she didn’t have a project on the screen yet. We met as music graduates. I loved Elçin’s normal energy, I liked it a lot. It was wonderfully hot, wonderfully energetic, very, very good. Then I watched it in Öyle Bir Geçer Zaman Ki. It looks so beautiful. Later, other projects were made to her. For some reason, there was a distant, stagnant, heavy woman and heavy girl in those projects. Then a new project of Elçin was finished. She wants it so much. I thought it fit very well with the girl in the script. Even Elçin said, “Are you sure this is me?” And I said, ‘This is you one hundred percent’. She had this madness, courage, fun, intelligence, everything in her.
Like everyone else, I had never seen Barış before. I saw Barış in Gupse (Özay)’s movie, I liked it very much. There was a strange fragility in her eyes. There was something very naive and sad about him. There was something in Barış’s eyes, and I felt it when I met him. The two of them were wonderfully alike. They became good partners,” she said.
