Furkan Kızılay, known for the iconic "Carrot" character that left its mark on an era, is now in the spotlight not for his acting but for a radical decision. Bidding farewell to Istanbul's hectic pace, Kızılay announced on social media that he and his wife have stepped into a new life.

DECISION TO SAY GOODBYE TO ISTANBUL

Kızılay, who etched into memories with the "Carrot" character he portrayed in the TV series "Çocuklar Duymasın," continues to be remembered for this role even as years pass. The actor, recently active on social media and making a name for himself through his Survivor adventure, has now drawn attention with his decision to change cities.

NEW LIFE IN SAPANCA

Kızılay, who married Tutku Yılmaz last year, announced that they decided to move due to being tired of Istanbul's congestion and endless traffic. The couple has reportedly settled into a house in Sapanca that Kızılay purchased years ago.

"LOADING NEW ADVENTURE"

Kızılay expressed his excitement about their new life in a social media post with these words:

"Yeees, loading new adventure ?? What will we experience in this process? What do we plan to do to our new home? We are excited ???"

MOVED TO THE HOUSE HE BOUGHT 10 YEARS AGO

The famous figure stated that Istanbul had become exhausting, and they made this decision together with his wife. Kızılay said, "We are moving. I bought a house for myself in Sapanca 10 years ago. I always had the idea of living here one day. Honestly, the chaos, traffic, and stress of city life tired us. We sought quality solitude.

Now, with my wife, we will start building the house we dreamed of. So, I told Tutku, 'Do whatever you want,' but I hope she doesn't do everything she wants. Joking aside, 'Happy life, happy wife,' folks. That is, what my wife wants, happens. We'll go into detail in the next video."

LIVING IN HARMONY WITH NATURE

Choosing a life away from the spotlight but peaceful, the couple has opened a new chapter in their lives at their new home in Sapanca, surrounded by nature. The decision was also met with interest by fans.
