Farah Zeynep Abdullah

Farah Zeynep Abdullah, who turned down the role in the TV show, where she could again become the co-star of Engin Akyürek, was very unhappy with the decision of the producers. What happened?

On Sunday, January 8, filming of a new series by O3 Medya, My Name is Farah, which tells the story of an Iranian woman who moved to Turkey with her sick son, began. The series stars Demet Özdemir and Engin Akyürek.

According to the journalist Birsen Altuntas, the first actress who received an offer to star in the show was Farah Zeynep Abdullah. She turned down the role because she did not want to work in the television series. At the same time, the actress expressed her surprise with the title of the series, asking the producers, “You don’t want to leave such a title?”

Farah Zeynep Abdullah believes that she is the most famous Turkish woman with the name Farah, and she is not very pleased that her name will be used in the title of the show. According to Google, there are 594 women with the name Farah in Turkey, of which 68 are in Istanbul. Despite the fact that the name is quite rare, it is unlikely that the actress should identify herself with the character of the series. The audience is not stupid enough not to see the difference.
