Viewers find Aşk-ı Memnu on the screen of Kanal D almost every year somehow… The channel management has broadcast the repeat of the series so many times that it is not even possible to count how many times it has been repeated until today…
Kanal D’s persistent effort to get a rating from Aşk-ı Memnu is actually based on the fact that viewers watch the production one more time each time. We know that even some of the actors in the series say that they watch the episodes again.
In every repetition of Aşk-ı Memnu, the interest shown in the final scene is also evident by being at the top of the agenda in social media. Kanal D management also broadcasts frequent reruns, using the audience’s passion for the series.
We can say that the person who is most disturbed by this situation is Beren Saat. Because the actress’s name remained as Bihter Ziyagil… It was normal for the actress to be called by this name in 2008 when the Aşk-ı Memnu series was first broadcast, and in 2010, when it made its finale… But 10 years after the end of the series, Beren Saat rebelled.
The famous actress, who said that she was uncomfortable being called Bihter Ziyagil all the time in the program she attended, stated that she spent a lot of effort to get rid of this situation.
Beren Saat was so uncomfortable with this role that stuck on her that she even had to say “I’m not Bihter Ziyagil”… But what is the most striking reason behind the actress’s constant mention of this character?
Do you think that Kanal D’s rebroadcasting of Aşk-ı Memnu every year in some way may have an effect on this? In fact, many people would forget about Bihter Ziyagil if the reruns of the series were not broadcast. Because our TV series world reveals a lot of products and every new project brings new characters to the fore. It is also unrealistic to constantly remember a character from years ago.
However, if Kanal D continues to broadcast Aşk-ı Memnu every year, it seems that Bihter Ziyagil will not be forgotten and Beren Saat’s complaints will never end.
