It seems like things got really good between Birce Akalay and İbrahim Çelikol after the series Kuş Uçuşu. They say they’re close friends, but fans keep commenting, ‘that chemistry is something else.’ Are they really this compatible as friends, or are we reading too much into it? Is there a possibility of such a ‘thing’ after the series, or is it all just the fans’ imagination?
I recently misunderstood a friend like this as well, and with everyone around us egging it on, we blew it out of proportion. Turns out they were just close friends. It doesn’t always appear as it seems from the outside; I don’t think such a thing really exists.
I think we shouldn’t get too worked up about it. If both the guy and the girl have said they are friends, then nobody should worry so much. If there was such a situation, someone would speak up about it.
That energy comes from the screen, but most of it isn’t real, right? On the other side, when the camera turns off, everyone goes back to different worlds. Our sweet dream might just stay like that.
But fans also seem to exaggerate a bit; it has become a routine to immediately associate the end of the series with love. We don’t have to turn every beautiful sincerity into romance.
I don’t think it’s right to question celebrities’ private lives this much. Human relationships are complex; while shared projects may bring people closer together, it doesn’t necessarily create a romantic situation. We should comment without going beyond what is visible.
You’re actually right, I’m not very curious about these things either, but it feels different when you look at it. Also, the phrase ‘we get along very well’ in a few interviews made me think, I suppose.
A friend of mine once said: ‘If I’m going to play with Birce, I’m up for anything.’ He watched an interview where she said this and even sent it to me. Is that friendship so intense, or is it something else for you?
In our culture, most people are already distant towards very close friendships between men and women. If people are going to keep talking like this, it would be better to draw a line for their comfort.
