She took part in the famous actress Nurgül Yeşilçay’s movie called Güzel Cin (Beautifil Jinn) shot in Iran. The actress went to Iran for the promotion of the film and received great criticism from the Iranian press for some of the photos there.
The famous actress told Ceyda Düvenci, who asked her about these criticisms, what she went through in the program on NTV. Ceyda Düvenci reminded Nurgül Yeşilçay of Güzel Cin, the movie shot in Iran before the pandemic, and said, “From what I’ve read, they didn’t want you, did something happen there, now I’m asking about the Iranian movie you won an award for”.
Nurgül Yeşilçay, on the other hand, described her experiences in Iran by saying that it is “relevant to the agenda”, with the following words: “I am loved in Iran because our TV series are sold a lot in the world, I like Iranians too. We are shooting in Isfahan, I am walking on the street. In Iran, you do not wear a headscarf by covering all parts of your hair, your hair can be seen, you only have to have a veil…
When you enter Iran, you wear it whether you are a tourist or a citizen. Something falling is also, I didn’t expect it to be taken so seriously because hair was visible from the front of me, hair from the side… The veil on my head fell backwards while I was posing. This took place in the press in the Iranian press, the event grew and grew… There are those who write without limits, what does it mean not to cover their heads…”
Nurgül Yeşilçay, who explained that she also attaches importance to customs and traditions and pays attention to this when going somewhere, said that this is also respect.
Nurgül Yeşilçay, while speaking nice words about the Iranian people, also drew attention to the great pressure in the country and said:
“Iranian people are a very sweet people. There is tremendous pressure, I felt like an outsider, think about what Iranian women are going through…”
