There’s no doubt that Turkish actress Esra Bilgic has a growing fan base in Pakistan. The Ertugrul<\/em> actress’ character, Halima Sultan has become a household name in the country and the people want to see more of her.<\/p>\n

Of course, social media is a place where fans can connect with their faves, but now Pakistani brands are also making an effort to bring these Turkish stars and their fans closer through partnership and endorsements.<\/p>\n

Recently, Esra Bilgic was appointed as a brand ambassador for QMobile and the campaign went really well. People loved the commercial, and some were even willing to buy a QMobile over iPhone just because of their favorite celeb (we think).<\/p>\n

But, where the general public was very supportive of it, a few Pakistani celebrities objected QMobile’s decision to hire her as their brand ambassador. According to them, Pakistani celebrities should be given a chance to promote local brands as it will generate money within the country.<\/p>\n

We all heard what Yasir Hussain had to say on this, but now Pakistani model Zhalay Sarhadi has also expressed her sentiments over foreign actors working for Pakistani brands.<\/p>\n

In a recent interview, she spoke against Esra Bilgic being hired for a Pakistani mobile brand.<\/p>\n

“We have short term gains. If you have chosen Halima and made her a brand ambassador over here, its a slap to our faces. It\u2019s an actual slap to our faces. Why are you borrowing a star from another country?\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Supporting Yasir Hussain, she said,<\/p>\n

“Why don\u2019t you create anything over here? Why are people afraid to create in this country? So I totally support Yasir Hussain in the debate.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Talking about Esra Bilgic, Zhalay said she is amazing and nobody is trying to take her stardom away from her.<\/p>\n
