Web Desk — Kayi tribeswoman from Dirilis: Ertugrul says she is “not happy” at being criticised for the things she does in her private life. Turkish actress Hande Subasi is better known to millions of fans worldwide for playing the role of Aykiz in Dirilis: Ertugrul. 

In an exclusive interview to Icon, the Turkish actress was asked whether she felt offended at being criticised for posting pictures that her Pakistani fans find too risqué, the actress agreed it was a sensitive issue, adding that she knew fans usually associate actors with the characters they play on-screen.  

“My job, though, was only to do my professional best, and to give life to Aykiz. This does not make me Aykiz,” she said. “I’m Hande. I really appreciate the admiration of my fans but I’m not happy about being criticised and getting negative comments about things that I do in my personal life.”
