In the latest program he attended, the master actor Ergenç shared the details of the surprise marriage proposal he made to his wife for the first time.
In 2006, the series "One Thousand and One Nights," which was published and achieved great success, became a turning point not only in their careers but also in their personal lives. Bergüzar Korel and Halit Ergenç, who drew attention with their partnerships in the series, soon united their paths in real life and got married in 2009.
The couple, who have been shown as an exemplary couple with their harmonious relationship for years, attract attention with their sincerity both on screen and in their private lives.
"WE WERE SITTING BACK TO BACK, EATING KEŞKEK"
Halit Ergenç, who returned to the screens with the series "If the King Loses," adapted from Gülseren Budayıcıoğlu's book, humorously shared the story of how he met his wife on the program "Bu Gece" with İbrahim Selim:
"We first met in a place called Anatolya in Beyoğlu. We were sitting back to back on the upper floor, and she was there with her friends. I was eating keşke k, and she was at another table. Then we started chatting. We still joke about our 'keşke k meeting'."
"SHE WASN'T EXPECTING MY MARRIAGE PROPOSAL AT ALL"
The famous actor also shared the details of his marriage proposal years later:
"We had gone on vacation together. There was a song we loved very much. I secretly recorded that song with a musician friend of mine and brought my speaker with me. I arranged a special table that night. I played the music, and Bergüzar said, 'Oh, it's playing in Turkish.' Then I proposed. She was surprised and said, 'That's my song too.' That moment was very special."
"THE MOST ROMANTIC THING BERGÜZAR HAS DONE FOR ME IS MARRYING ME"
Ergenç stated that the emotional bond in their marriage is hidden in small details rather than grand gestures, saying, "The most romantic thing Bergüzar has done for me is marrying me. It's that clear. Because it's such a real and sincere thing... Sometimes, there is no need for grand gestures,"
he concluded his words.
