Mustafa Topaloğlu's singer son, Çağlayan Topaloğlu, appeared as a guest on Haberler.com's program called Haber Bahane. Topaloğlu talked about his father leaving them and getting married to another woman in an Islamic ceremony, saying, "His experiences affected me, but I never held any grudges against him."
Gökay Kalaycıoğlu's presentation on the Haberler.com YouTube channel, singer Çağlayan Topaloğlu made sincere statements. Topaloğlu, who said that he grew up in a conservative family, also mentioned his father Mustafa Topaloğlu's marriage with an imam.
"I HAVE 2 SIBLINGS FROM MY FATHER'S IMAM MARRIAGE"
Speaking about the question "How many siblings do you have?", Topaloğlu talked about his family life as follows: "There is one on the Anatolian side and one on the European side. I have two siblings from my father's imam marriage, and I have one sister from my own mother. Being the child of an artist family seems very enjoyable from the outside, but it is very difficult. You have a responsibility from birth. Every action you take reflects on your family. It is exhausting to be constantly self-controlled. At one point, my father came out and said, 'I am an alien.' Now it seems sympathetic to us, but it wasn't at that time. At that time, we also experienced his negativity, not just as a father. In the neighborhood and at school, they made fun of me by calling me 'Alien.' I was constantly fighting and going to discipline. It bothered me a lot to be called 'Alien' for something that had nothing to do with me."
"MY FATHER LEFT HOME FOR ANOTHER WOMAN"
"My father is a hafiz, and my mother has recited the Quran 7 times. I grew up in a religious family with prayers. It was a patriarchal family. I couldn't cross my legs or speak without choosing my words carefully in front of my father. My faith and spirituality prevented me from being a reckless young person. What my father experienced in his personal life affected me. My father left home for another woman. My father was there but not there. Because of his concerts, he constantly went to different cities and countries. Not being able to spend time with my father was my biggest deficiency. I don't remember going on vacation or playing ball with my father. We probably sang folk songs accompanied by the bağlama at home the most. I couldn't tell my father about my personal life. When I was young, I used to question, but then I chose to accept my father that way. There was also a period when I didn't see my father. I have been working since I was 19, and I didn't need my father for money."
"I DIDN'T HOLD A GRUDGE AGAINST MY FATHER, BUT I WAS HURT"
When my father went to another woman, my mother never considered remarrying. If my mother wanted to get married, I would have respected her. I never held a grudge against my father. We were not raised to elevate or hold grudges against our father. I was hurt by my father. I saw my sibling from my father's other marriage years later. Turkey didn't fully understand my father, so how could I understand him.
