The late artist Rasim Öztekin's daughter, actress Pelin Öztekin, is back in the spotlight with her significant physical transformation and changing life in recent years. After losing 93 kilos in four years, Öztekin has drawn attention with the photos she shares showcasing her fit appearance, while this time she made headlines with her candid statements about her personal life.
"I'M MORE SELECTIVE NOW"
As a guest on a program, Öztekin made a striking confession, stating that her self-confidence was higher during her heavier days: "I was more flirtatious when I was overweight. Because that version of me had nothing to lose. There was a Pelin who had accepted everything. Now I know that I have become more beautiful. People's perceptions have changed, which has made me more selective."
Describing how she has entered a new phase in her relationships following her physical change, the famous actress noted that she now questions the people she meets more. "I used to embrace everyone. Now I can say 'It would be fine even if you weren't here.' Back then, I wouldn't think about what I would lose. That's why I had long relationships. I had partnerships that lasted 3-4 years. I would consider a 1.5-year relationship as just dating. Now when I reach the sixth month, I say 'I had a long relationship,'" she explained her transformation.
Pelin Öztekin, who often draws attention with her self-confidence, sincerity, and frankness, received widespread attention on social media for these statements. Comments were made about the significant transformation she has experienced internally, parallel to her changing appearance.
