After going to pick up her husband from prison, Dilan Polat made her first post on social media days later. ROMANTIC POSEAfter learning that her husband had been released, Dilan Polat had fun by making consecutive posts on her Instagram account, but later fell silent. Due to her husband's wishes, Dilan Polat did not make any posts on her Instagram account, which has 6.9 million followers. Polat's silence lasted for 10 days. Polat published a photo on her Instagram account with Engin Polat, making a heart sign and adding the song "Look at the Sky with Me". "I WILL NOT MAKE INSENSITIVE POSTS"When Dilan Polat went to meet her husband at the prison, she filmed videos of herself dancing in the car to her own song "Enercii" and received criticism. Polat made a statement while waiting for her husband, saying, "Will you continue to make insensitive posts?" She replied, "I was very happy after the decision, and I couldn't control myself. I wanted to share it because I couldn't restrain myself. Actually, I wasn't going to make any posts for a long time, but I wanted to share it after the news of my husband's release. Thank you very much to our fans. Something like that will never happen again. I will be very careful when using social media. I have many branches, all of them stood strong, but I will never use social media as before."
