Diren Polatoğulları on Mert Ramazan Demir: “Mert is not a typical hero in the series; he is a character with flaws and problems, and he portrays him brilliantly. In real life, he is also a wonderful guy, just like Afra. In Gaziantep, we spent time together every day. There, I really acted like their father—keeping an eye on where they were, what they were doing, and whether everything was okay. That’s what caring feels like.”
