Karachi: After the popularity of Ertugrul Ghazi in Pakistan, the main character’s counterpart also became a well-known figure on social media.
Mustafa Hanif from Karachi says that before the play was aired in Pakistan, his friends used to say that the main character of the play resembles me a lot. When I saw the play, I also realized that It really is.
Mustafa Hanif holds a master’s degree in international relations and works for a private company. Before gaining popularity on social media as “Pakistani Ertugrul”, he used to run his own YouTube channel and often uploaded videos related to tourism on it.
After the broadcast and popularity of Ertugrul Ghazi in Pakistan, Mustafa started sharing videos of his reviews on the drama along with tourism, which is getting a lot of attention on social media. He also updated a video on his Facebook patch while riding in Ertugrul Ghazi’s dress, which was appreciated by the users.
He says that after his popularity on YouTube and social media, now when I go somewhere, people recognize me there too. “I went to the market for a job the other day. If I didn’t have a mask, four or five people would deliver it to me and talk to me.”
Mustafa Hanif Ertugrul Ghazi, the lead actor of the play, wants to go to Turkey to meet other important characters of the cast, including Engin Altan Dzitan, but when asked if he would like to meet Halima Sultan, he smiled. He replied, “He has no such special desire.”
Controversy over the personal lives of the actors in the cast of Ertugrul Ghazi keeps coming up on social media. Regarding this, “Pakistani Ertugrul” says that we should look at the personal lives of the artists separately from their characters.
In their reviews, Pakistani Ertugrul insists on focusing on the original message of the play and in many other videos, he has been seen offering “surprises” to those in need.
