10 days of Mercy :)





Ramadan kareem is of 30 days in total, divided into 3 Ashras (“Ashra’” is an arabic word for 10. So when we say an Ashra of Ramadan, we are pointing towards 10 days.). Each Ashra has it's own significance.
The first Ashra (first 10 days of Ramadan) is known as the period of Mercy. It is indeed the sign of ALLAH (SWT) Mercy upon us that we are blessed to observe Fast during Ramadan. it signifies the bestowments of ALLAH Almighty’s Mercy. There is a special Dua that our Prophet (S.A.W) has told us to recite in first ashra i.e:

1st-ashra-dua (Dua for 1st 10 Days)
 يَا حَيُّ يَا قَيُّوْمُ بِرَحْمَتِكَ أَسْتَغِيْث
"Ya Hayyu Ya Qayyum bi rahmatika astaghees"
Translation: "O the Living, O the Eternal, I seek help in Your grace."
اے زندہ اور قائم رب! میں تیری رحمت کے حصول کی فریاد کرتا ہوں۔

Abu Huraira R.A related that the Prophet (P.B.U.H) said:  
Whoever fasts during Ramadan with faith and seeking his reward from Allah will have his past sins forgiven. Whoever prays during the nights in Ramadan with faith and seeking his reward from Allah will have his past sins forgiven. And he who passes Laylat al-Qadr in prayer with faith and seeking his reward from Allah will have his past sins forgiven (Bukhari, Muslim). 
Jazak Allah ul Khair ! Remember me and my family in your prayers.. :)

Kivanc Tatlitug ("westernized" version of Muslim guys)

 This question is almost inevitable when one sees the extent of popularity that Kivanç reached, and particularly among the Pakistani community in the a very short period.


The point here is whether one is attracted to him because he is a "westernized" version of Muslim guys, and therefore, many girls' dream-come-true man, or because he is displays a profound attachment to the values and traditions that are related to his culture.

 Personally, I am "in love" with the combination of those two aspects. I really admire his liberal way of being (reflected in his artistic choices, the tatoos on his body, his mode of life, etc) but also his respect to values and deep commitment as a person, a family member, and certainly a friend and a colleague. I find this combination quite rich and unique, and maybe it is even a reflection of the Turkish culture itself which is quite exceptional as well... (& this idea i got through media and his own words of his many interviews)


It is not only about being Muslim , neither i am saying that i love him only because he is my co-relegion. Obviously this is not true. I have always like him from the very first impression. I love his acting, hi style, his smile, his face his every thing but when i came to know about the truth that he is Muslim. I was so happy , i can't express my feelings. It was so new for me that a man with so western appearance is a Muslim either practicing or not; no concern with it.

I hope that you agree with me that it's no exaggeration to assert that Kivanç's popularity is being phenomenal in different parts of the world, and that he has sort of revolutionized our existence thanks to his very unique and amazing presence on the artistic scene. Just look at the fans' number on his facebook page which keeps increasing by 1000 at least each day, Masha Allah! And even in the "offline world" people are being crazy about him, and these include all sorts of categories ranging from housewives to working women, from adults to kids, from girls to boys, form romantics to realists, from "simple-minded" to those showing a higher degree of intellect, from soap opera addicts to art critics, and the list is just long...

True that he was introduced to most of us through his series Ishq e Memnu, and true he captivated his audience and managed to hold it spellbound. However, Kivanç Tatlitug is a name that can't be forgotten once the series is finished or this "wave of craziness" if we may call it so is over. In fact, I see Kivanç's lasting effect right in the way he successfully communicated to us intense and profound emotions that we are not likely to forget soon. He also -- I'm sure you agree -- redefined many notions that are closely related to our everyday life, and inspired us in a very positive way, especially when it comes to such essential values as commitment, faithfulness, determination, positive aggression, love, etc. I really think that he did so magnificently well, and for this he does deserve the loyalty and devotion of his fans. Above all, I see Kivanç's most significant contribution in the way he -- directly or indirectly -- rekindled our interest in the Turkish culture, as we are passionately developing a keen interest in finding out more about Turkish music, language and history, which is in my opinion a very beautiful way of bridging cultures and learning to appreciate the other regardless of differences or distinctions.

 Well then, thank you very much Kivanç Tatlitug, and be sure that your passage into our lives is not going to be a passing crazy adventure! Far from it, we're going to be nourished by your essence, and for a long lasting time! 

DISCLAIMER

This article has no concern with any religious group neither it is racism.These are only my feelings and it also doesn't mean that i am against other Non-Muslim actors, obviously i am not. But this is what happen most of the time when we realize someone having same values like us, it makes us feel good.Love him alot and i am sure if he wasn't a Muslim i would have never stopped loving him but yes this reality meant me alot.

Imran Abbas to do a 3D Indian Movie

Imran Abbas , Pakistani drama serials actor has been very famous for his acting and liked for his look. He has many times been called in the list of most handsome personalities of not only Pakistan but of  the whole World.


The heartbeat of almost all Pakistani girls, Imran Abbas Naqvi is very busy these days on two film projects, one Pakistani and the other Indian i.e. Abdullah and Creature. Abdullah is based on Hashim Nadeem’s novel with the same name. The movie will unveil the incident of 17th May, 2011 in which five Chechen’s were murdered in Quetta. Abduallh is the sole eye- witness of that terrible accident.


Imran is going to appear with Sadia Khan in Abdullah, once again after “Khuda Aur Muhabbat”. The best thing about “Abdullah” is that it has depicted brilliantly (like never before) the true culture of Baluchistan. He will not appear in his particular hot stylish designer wear look instead he will be seen wearing typical Baloch suits with traditional caps, similarly Sadia Khan will follow suit to portray a true color to the story. Along with the duo, Sajid Hassan and director Hashim Nadeem would also play a role in it. The movie is on its edge to release soon.


“Creature” on the other hand, is very modern movie both in terms of story and technology used. It is the first Indian movie based on the story of unusual creatures like the blockbuster “Jurrasic Park”‘s Dinosaurs. 3D-IMAX technology by Prasad Labs is used in it. It is filmed in a thick forest in which strange creatures occur from time to time. Bipasha Basu is starring with Imran A. Naqvi in it. It is in the making under the superb direction of no other than Vikram Bhatt while Gulshan Kumar is producing it.
Social media feedback for this exciting 3D movie is very positive about Imran Abbas, since he is a hard working artist and casting him in a foreign movie is his grand achievement. But the only loophole in the movie is Imran Abbas’s opposite actor, Bipasha Basu. Though she is an experienced actor of Bollywood and seems to be older than him in the movie. Imran‘s fan are eagerly waiting for both the movies to release soon. We wish Imran Abbas a very good luck for this achievement.

Omar Borkan Al Gala






CHANGE OF LUCK:

He has had a change of luck after receiving a Mercedes car as a gift from an anonymous admirer.

But rather than dwell on his plight of being too gorgeous, the male model has now decided to use it to his advantage.
‘I got a Mercedes G55 for my birthday from a woman I didn’t know’ , he told In Touch magazine.

As well as getting gifts, Omar also said his acting career was going from strength to strength after being cast in a short film alongside Homeland star Navid Negahban.

‘The reaction I’ve gotten is tremendous’, he added.

The sometimes poet also has to contend with a busy social network life, with close to one million Facebook likes on his page.

Since making headlines around the world the 23-year-old has relocated to Canada where among other projects, he is working on a calendar for a women’s rights group.

We’re just happy his good looks aren’t such an impediment to him anymore.

UPDATE Omar Borkan Al Gala FINALLY Admits He Was Never Deported for Being “Too Handsome” as Earlier Reports Claim

 

He was just at the wrong place at the wrong time. Thus revealed Omar Borkan Al Gala as he comes clean, admitting the deportation stories that helped him become an international star were in fact NOT TRUE.

In a recent interview with a Mexican magazine Who, Omar said that he was never kicked out of Saudi Arabia for being “too handsome” - - the news that that helped him become an Internet sensation and later helped him propel to becoming an international household name for a time.

"Really I was walking around, I ended up in the wrong place at the wrong time," Omar was quoted as telling the magazine, said Latino Post, citing another report by Peru.com.

The self-described model and photographer claimed he was back home in Vancouver, Canada, when the news of his supposed deportation made headlines and gone viral –a life-changing news as it helped Omar launch his modeling and acting career.

"I truly appreciate all the love and support my fans have shown me. To have 1 million likes on Facebook is a blessing from God,” Omar said in an exclusive statement sent to IBTimes-AU.

Omar became an Internet sensation in April 2013 when news broke out that a man was identified with two others who were thrown out of the mid-east country because officials fear he may have an impact on women - - one that’s not accepted in any religious norms of the country.

But his revelation that the deportation story WAS FAKE came following a report by Islawmix in June that “Al Gala, and the two other mystery men, were not deported from Saudi Arabia, nor were they kicked out of the heritage and cultural festival.”

The news outlet noted that the head of the Mutawaeen, Sheikh Abdullatif Al-Sheikh, claimed that “Al Gala received several complaints because he was dancing inappropriately in a family section of an event. As a result, he was questioned by members of the National Guard, but he was not asked to leave the festival, let alone the country.”

It took Omar almost three months before admitting that he was never thrown out of Saudi Arabia, despite queries from media networks, including IBTimes-AU.

Omar is set to appear in a big short film project, 51, and he had revealed plans to come out with a documentary that will tell the whole deportation story.

WITHOUT MAKE-UP, WITHOUT MASKS, IN LOVE : BEREN ! IN LOS ANGELES

“I WANT TO BE AN ACTRESS AS LONG AS I AM ALIVE”

Before meeting Beren Saat in Los Angeles, ELLE’s adventure started in Istanbul, and there was excitement on all fronts. NetWork designed a T-Shirt for the benefit of Nar Taneleri project. And this girl you will meet on the cover of ELLE magazine, without any make-up, who is she in reality ? To find the answer to this question, we found her on Los Angeles beach, and she was shining
Everyone has an idea about Beren Saat.
She doesn’t like the crowds, she doesn’t share her private life, and some might consider her as little bit cold and even very reasonable “figure”.
But we encountered a very different Beren : Funny, energetic, comic and in love.
During the days we spent in Los Angeles, and one day after Beren’s photoshoot, we stopped at Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and in its courtyard we found a small “proof” of that.
A few meters beyond Rodin’s sculptures -and again- without make-up but looking very beautiful, we enjoyed the afternoon sun of Los Angeles with Beren. Half-way across the world, among the crowds and even far until here, she attracted the attention.
We had in front of us a woman in love with life and who loves to live : Her work, her passions, her relationships that you’re definitely all wondering about !
“Real emotions are needed for acting”

I.S : When our readers will see the cover, they will understand that you will be totally without make-up. Not everyone has enough courage to do such a thing. What did you feel when I suggested this to you, did you have any hesitation ?

B.S : I wanted to do it right away ! It’s been years I haven’t made a magazine cover. 7 years earlier, when I made my first cover, they retouched my nose and my eyebrows, and it didn’t look like me at all. It didn’t look like a 20-year-old Beren, it looked like a completely different woman. I didn’t find myself in it, but whoever saw it idealized it. I didn’t like this pretty girl, and I didn’t want to see myself in this way. These retouches change how I look or make me look like all these look-alike women. I don’t want to be like that. So I had this struggle in my life: I saw one of the photos that we took yesterday, and I felt that this is really me, it made me feel good. For a woman to be beautiful, she doesn’t need soggy glowing lips or high-heeled shoes ! Shooting for a cover in a white T-shirt with a big smile, under the light of the sun, can make a person feel very beautiful. To the saying ” the more I apply make-up and glitter, the more I will look beautiful”, there is a response that might help : “A big smile will make you look beautiful”

I.S : ELLE’s shooting is for the first cover you will make after so many years. Our photographer Kayt Jones, is an English photographer living in Los Angeles. We’re so excited to be working with both of you for the first time. How was your set experience ?

B.S : This was my first photo shoot since 2-3 years, that’s why it was a little problematic for me. But Kayt Jones is great ! The shooting day was so enjoyable, Kayt is very easy and sweet and she has a lot of energy. The styling, the place, and all the details… everything made me feel very happy, everything was very beautiful.

I.S : Was it your childhood dream to become an actress ?

B.S : Yes, it always was. As a child, I used to read stories, enter their world and play the characters. If I didn’t want to be in a certain place, I would read a children’s novel, imagine that I am one of the characters and play it. In fact, I created my own little games.

I.S : Becoming famous at a young age has a greater effect, and there are many examples all around the world. When you’re famous and young, it is very difficult to manage your ego. How did you face your own devils ? How did you manage to remain yourself ?

B.S : There were so many ridiculous examples around me, that I used to tell myself “Don’t do this Beren !! Don’t do that neither Beren !”. I had my period of “taking the winds of fame”, but it was also a funny situation. If I was Madonna, there would be no place for me to hide in this world, unless I totally isolate myself, but we’re not like that. My life has changed, of course. Honestly, sometimes I am very embarrassed to go to some places. But still, I am able to walk, hands in my pockets in many places in the streets. Especially that we need to be in contact with life and individuals in order to be able to act and write; because after a certain time, we tend to stop exploring. Everyone in Turkey is constantly under trial. For example, a very good rock musician is seen drunk : But this man, other than being famous, has made and loved music for 30 years. Then he started drinking, chasing the nights which is preventing him from living his life as before, and actually preventing him from being productive, but no one sees this dilemma.
When you’re an actor, you are obliged to touch life. Once you do that, you should be able to achieve a lot of things. Otherwise, throughout your career, you will only be able to play characters who resemble you, and this has become an outdated method in today’s acting. That’s why we have to step on life with our bare feet.

I.S : This reality you are supposed to act, can be very close to yourself and can as well be very far from what you are. How can you join between these 2 extremes and stay the same?

B.S : This balance that exists in acting, is actually very useful for my soul. At times, a human being gets bored from himself, so he gets to experience and explore other places, and finds through other lives, new ways and new adventures. But if your emotions are synthetic, the people facing you won’t accept them. In order to reflect the real feelings, you need to be really living those feelings. Therefore, to succeed in creating this illusion, you have to possess a very good knowledge of the reality. To build this illusion, you have to create another person, but this person still belongs to you and you are bound to use your own real feelings at the same time. This process tells a lot about you, and makes you more humanistic. When you’re trying to find the balance between the illusion and the truth, and your adrenaline rises, you have to simplify things; because you can get extremely enthusiastic while experiencing a lot of new things. Life is full of little bargains, you surpass these games; when people try to play games on you, you can discover it quickly, dissolve all the fuss and reach to the essence more easily.

I.S : Very few actors have achieved this much of consecutive projects as you did, and this year too, you will be starring in the Turkish adaptation of the American hit series “Revenge”. You wanted to take a break from series, and then this very exciting project made you change your mind ?

B.S : It is a really very exciting project. I have never searched for a job based on a particular strategy, and I’ve always taken decisions all by myself. There is a voice inside me that tells me to play a character, and I follow what this voice says. Apart from the actors in a project, there is the dynamism of the developments. That’s why, it is very important to be working with the right people. And it is very important to love the character. Filming a series is not easy at all, that’s why it is impossible to tolerate those 2 years it if you do not love your character. The story is based on The Count of Monte Cristo. But this time, a woman comes back to town in order to take revenge. After Fatmagul, we’re coming back to city stories context. The shootings begin in December, I will be with Mert Firat. I’ve always been lucky concerning my co-partners.

I.S : Yes, a question was commonly asked by the fans, concerning your partner in “Fatmagul’un suçu ne?” Engin Akyurek. How was it working with him ?


B.S : Engin is not new to me. We’ve know each other 8 years ago in a competition. Engin is very professional and disciplined, and it is very easy to be with him on the set. Apart from our friendship, acting with him is very comfortable. There were rumors about fights between us on the set, but the reality is quite the opposite.

I.S : In the meantime, you starred in a movie for the Iranian director Bahman Ghobadi, with Monica Belluci, Yilmaz Erdogan and Belçim Bilgin. The movie was shown in festivals and it was appreciated. At the end of this month it will start showing in Turkey. How was it to work with such a multi-national team ?

B.S : I still haven’t seen the movie. But I observed many things on the set. There is a big experience to gain by working in a multinational set, but I also noted that the Turkish cinema sector is not bad. My role is very small, that’s why I don’t want to make a big deal out of the character I played. But the main actors are very special. The great Iranian actor Behrouz Vossoughi hasn’t worked for the past 30 years, he missed acting so much and his appetite was like a lesson to those who witnessed it. Monica’s patience and compliance… both stars have an aura that cannot be explained. It was an experience to be lived.
“I definitely want a child”

I.S : You’re a very hard-working actress. How can you dedicate time for your lover, your friends, your family ?

B.S : In the first place, I am not a person who has a very crowded social surrounding. I generally have my very close friends around me. I have shootings during 15-16 straight hours every day, and between the scenes I’m memorizing or revising my scenario. But the people who really love you deeply won’t hold it against you. You can always find a way to dedicate time for the people who are really valuable to you, by jumping on any opportunity to go somewhere together, or having a 2 minute talk on the phone. Sometimes, relationships are the remedy after the hard work. Sometimes, the problem is resolved when the close ones don’t have expectations in the first place. But I’m definitely not saying this to get forgiveness or to make justifications.

I.S : You’re a young woman. If you want to get married and have children, would you be able to do this job with such an intensity ?

B.S : We have to make a choice between the 2. Our system is not a place where you can have a small baby and work at the same time, because our work is a physical battle. That’s why some people take a 2-3 years break in order to do it. People who have been doing this job for a long time say “I’m so tired now”, and from time to time, we see people leaving this job completely. I definitely want a child, when this day comes, I will seriously consider taking a break.

I.S : OK, so how do you imagine your life 10 years from now ?

B.S : I want kids for sure, but I don’t want to put precise targets in front of my eyes. Until now, life has been good to me; Sometimes it puts too much pressure, but so far, I’ve done a good job in handling these kinds of moments to prevent myself from living big disappointments. That’s why, I do not let myself worry a lot. I am moving cautiously to build my career, and protect my love life, I don’t want to be doing things I don’t feel like doing, just to keep on going with my life. In order to be doing this profession during my whole lifetime, I need to have economical freedom; this plan will allow me to keep on feeding my soul through acting, and to lead a happy life. For the rest, nothing can be scheduled. I let myself go with the flow.
 “Women are forced to fight for everything”
 
I.S : What do you think of the life in Turkey ? Are you comfortable ? Are you happy ?

B.S : I am happy but a little bit nervous too. Of course it is not a pink-painted happiness. Once again we are losing our grays, our moderation; no one listens to “the other”, no one tolerates the other. Religion, race, sharpened politics; we are alarmed by war ideas every day, it scares me a little lately. But living in Istanbul, I love my country very much. I’m not one of these persons who use the stereotyped sentence : “I need to move to somewhere else”. Although it seems that I’m doing a luxurious job, I always tell myself that I can use the power of fame to do a lot of things especially for the women of my country.


I.S : That’s why you’re involved in every social responsibility request. How did you develop such a consciousness ?

B.S : I don’t know how it developed, maybe it’s something that comes naturally from the inside, being a woman. So I started thinking that there are too many things that can be done for the women in our country. Of course there are a lot of people to help, but women have to discover themselves first; and I even think that positive discrimination should be applied towards women. Unfortunately, women are always in the back, and when some women achieve success they face even more opposition. Over the years, I’m understanding more and more the power of what is called “popularity”; You reach people very easily. If you simply say that you love something, people will follow you massively without thinking or judging. That’s why, I should always share the right message when I have a request or a feeling inside me.

I.S : Your fans have the same feelings as you do. Since ever I started checking the social media pages, I noticed that your fans are amazingly behind you: Whatever you do, whatever you say, they are behind you, they give you a 100% support, they are very clear fans. Moreover, you do not have a one-on-one contact with them, so how did this relationship of trust take place ?

B.S : It’s not only me. I believe the same thing happens to a lot of other celebrities. I started realizing the power detained by a famous person, after the first advertising campaign I took part in. Before that, I wasn’t aware of this power: When I became famous, I was still young.
“Kenan and I have the same point of view concerning fame”

I.S : Your energy is very high, you look very good and very happy. Were you always like that, or is it something new ?

B.S : I haven’t had this much vacation since years ! I had very quiet and beautiful months; that’s why I am very happy.

I.S : How does the time pass in Los Angeles ?

B.S : It’s a comfortable city. In cities that have a higher rhythm, you can’t find time to live, you get tired and you loose your energy. Here, the rhythm is a bit slower. That’s why it feels you’re always on vacation when you are here.

I.S : You work so hard, how can you stay so beautiful ? How do you live ? what do you eat ? what do you drink ? Kayt Jones who works everyday with top models couldn’t believe her eyes when she saw you without make-up. Is this a gift from God ?

B.S : Since my childhood, I prefer to eat vegetables and fruits, I am lucky. But of course, it is very hard to preserve this healthy diet while being on the set. But I find a solution to every circumstance. I have learned to control my köfte and bread meals. My grand mother gave me the habit of eating small portions of food at night. I can eat anything as long as it is in small quantities and it makes me happy. I love eating very much, and I eat whatever comes to my mind. Sometimes I gain some weight, sometimes I loose some. If I say that I practice sports regularly I would be lying, because I work 15 hours per day after all.

I.S : Are you a laid back person, or do you get easily disturbed ?

B.S :I think at lot. If you look at me from far, you wouldn’t understand. The people who are close to me can feel me and know how I am. I don’t think the people who work with me would consider me as a stressed out person, because even when I’m stressed, I control myself. I’m patient too. But when I’m stressed, I get stressed from the inside, and a lot of things can disturb my mind.

I.S : Everyone would like to know, is everything on the right track with your new boyfriend Kenan Dogulu ? He is a musician, you’re an actress and both of you are very famous, how is this relationship going on ? How do you preserve your relationship ?

B.S : Because we work in different fields, things work out more easily. But I have to confess that when two celebrities get together, people become crazy around this subject. I had never experienced such a situation in my whole life, I was really surprised. As a couple we are unable to do some things that I might have done all by myself. But we share the same point of view concerning the fame. The past of both of us is out there, we share the burden of fame which makes it feel lighter, we do a lot of humor talking. People who don’t control their egos, lose the importance of the “work-power-reputation” notion, we live our relationship the same way everybody else does. And then there is love of course : We’re in love.

  “The face is a picture of the mind with the eyes as its interpreter.” 
 ― Marcus Tullius Cicero
"I must say this quote is very much true for Beren Saat, perfect face of beauty with really very expressing eyes , only celebrity who has guts to show her real face to every one and still looks adorable....
 And other thing that impressed me most is that she didn't wear much makeup as she said in her interview that
 'I AM NOT IN PEACE WITH MAKEUP.'
In her every interview, the most noticeable thing is that
She didn’t say one single unnecessary word. Her words were weighted, shaped.
Her words : "My thoughts are not a rebellion, they just come as a whimper and remain like that." "I don’t like rankings, but yes I am popular, I became popular. But the word “star” is for others, I wouldn’t use this word for myself yet. I’ve chosen this path to become an actress, not to become a celebrity. That was my childhood dream."
all of her statements reflect her beauty of mind, she is not only physically gorgeous but her mind, her nature is as gorgeous as she is"

Their story - From Beren & Engin to Fatmagül & Kerim

Lately, i have been receiving quite a few e-mails from you guys that are rightfully asking for more information about your favorite "Fatmagul's Suçu Ne?" actress and actor; Beren Saat (Fatmagül) and Engin Akyürek (Kerim).

So i thought this topic deserves a post. Maybe more than one, even. Let's start and see where this goes...


It was the first half of the last decade. "Popstars" reality show era in Turkey was in decline and living its last moments. Turkish television channels were in search for newer, more interesting TV formats for the audiance that was finally bored of watching "singing competitions".

Show TV (a turkish television channel) went for a derivation of "Popstars", and came up with "Türkiye'nin Yıldızları" (Stars of Turkey); an "acting" oriented reality-competition show. And as you may have already guessed, Beren and Engin were two of the competitors in this show. The most promising ones, too.




I watched them in Turkiye'nin Yıldızları occasionally. And i must admit that Beren and Engin shined so brightly in the solo and group plays they performed, that it was obvious one of them was going to be the winner.

After Engin won the competition and Beren came as the runner-up, no one could complain to such a result. He won the title with pure talent and passion, after all. On the other hand, there were some people doubting Beren's acting capabilities, claiming that she came up second because of her looks rather than her performances.

I am not in one of those doubters. Beren was only 20 then when she was competing in such a big production, in front of millions of people! It was definite that she would certainly have a great future as an actress, as long as she continued to be this enjoyable to watch, and as long as she worked hard to improve her acting even more.


Shortly after Turkiye'nin Yıldızları was over, Beren received a job offer to be the face of TOFITA (a candy product) in a series of commercial videos...

Following the commercials, she played a relatively small role in Aşkımızda Ölüm Var (2004, mini tv series) and after her good performance, she would be given bigger roles in bigger productions in the following years:

 Aşka Sürgün (2005, mini tv series)

 

Hatırla Sevgili ("Remember Darling", 2006-2008, tv series)



Aşk-ı Memnu ("The Forbidden Love", 2008-2010, tv series)




  
Güz Sancısı ("Pains of Autumn", 2009, film)



Gecenin Kanatları ("The Wings of the Night", 2009, film)



and of course finally:

Fatmagül'ün Suçu Ne? ("What is Fatmagul's fault?", 2010-?, tv series)

 

and now she is doing:
Intekam (2012 tv series) 



And here are some facts about Beren Saat:

- She was born in February 26, 1984.
- She is 167 cm tall.
- Studied Business and Management in Baskent University, Ankara. In fact, she joined Turkiye'nin Yıldızları while she was still a student.
- Her boyfriend, Efe, passed away shortly after Turkiye'nin Yıldızları was over, at age 19.


Now about Akyurek then i must say in "Fatmagül'ün Suçu Ne?". He looks completely different than the Engin  in 2004. Here you can see his transformation and growth in these photos of him:(In the brackets are the name of the character he played, and the year of the production.)


  Kader (Cevat, 2006)
 






 Yabanci Damat (Kadir, 2004)



Karayılan (Nizipli, 2007)

















and finally ....

 
Fatmagül'ün Suçu Ne? (Kerim, 2010)

You can see the change in his shape and character in every production he's acted in. I hope it didn't make you dizzy, looking at so many pictures.

I've read a lot about him on the internet while i was searching for information and those pictures above. And i haven't seen a single negative comment about his personality or his acting. That should be a good sign, and a good reason to follow him and watch everything he's involved.

Unfortunately there isn't so much i can tell you about him, since he seems to be good at avoiding paparazzis. Here is the little information i have of Engin Akyürek:
 - He's born in 12th October of 1981, in Ankara.
- He's 187 cm tall.
- He is graduated from Ankara University History Department.
- His name Engin means "Broad Sea" or "Vast"(Adjective)

 His career:
- Yabanci Damat ("The Foreign Groom", 2004, tv series)
- Kader ("Destiny", 2006, film)
- Karayılan ("Black Snake", 2007, tv series)
- Bir Bulut Olsam ("Beyond the Clouds"*, 2009, tv series)

And of course
- Fatmagül'ün Suçu Ne? ("What is Fatmagul's fault?". 2010-?, tv series.)
now a days he is in news of making a movie. I hope it would be a hit too like his other work :)
