Turkish actress Esra Bilgiç has made a name for herself in Pakistan. Following the release of Diriliş: Ertuğrul in the country, a great number of netizens are now following the show’s actors closely. Their fame has inflated so much that Turkish celebrities have visited the country to show their love and respect for their Pakistani fans. Now, rumors are starting to spread that Halime Sultan is representing Peshawar Zalmi in the upcoming Pakistan Super League.
Esra Bilgiç takes to Twitter
Earlier, fans of Ertugrul picked up on a Tweet by Esra Bilgiç. The 28-year-old posted a picture of Islamia College in Peshawar. And to everyone’s pleasant surprise, she wrote:
The City of Flowers.
The Tweet caught everyone’s attention, earlier this week. But if you haven’t seen it yet, you can take a look at her post here:

Public Reacts
The public was more than excited to see the star’s Tweet. Esra Bilgiç in Pakistan? Again? This is not the first time she has shown love for this country. Last year she visited the ‘Land of the Pure’ and also worked with big-name brands like Khaadi.
So naturally, it doesn’t come as a surprise that she is in town again. But if you remember, she Tweeted another suspenseful post last year. And to add to the confusion, she tagged Javed Afridi and Peshawar Zalmi.
Don’t remember what the Tweet was? Take a look at it here:
I will be sharing some good news with you soon. @JAfridi10 @PeshawarZalmi
