Esra Bilgiç is a Turkish actress trying her best to shut the gazing eyes and the chattering mouths. The situation is kind of dumb and messy.
I mean, I have come across several cases like this, but this time, some people have crossed the boundaries. This is not something new, but I couldn’t help but bring this up to you.
You know, actors are not people who love to flaunt their bodies. It is a part of their career, and they feel uncomfortable too. This is the reason they take breaks sometimes. But that does not mean that we have the right to tell them what they should do or not.
The least we can do is just watch their movies and appreciate their hard work. But, when it comes to actresses, people are more interested in telling them what to do rather than appreciating their work.
Esra Bilgiç recently appeared in a historical drama, and she probably played the role of a queen. And you know, how queens used to dress in that era.
But some people really thought that she was a woman from the 19th century and she should dress like that in reality too. Sounds weird, right?
You will believe me after reading the entire story.
Pakistani Men and Esra
It seems that Pakistani men are not that happy with the Bikini Images she posted. Esra was shooting for Victoria’s secret, and she posted a picture with a bikini and blazer.
Pakistani men, who are also big fans of her movies, started complaining about her clothing. Why? Because she wore something exactly opposite to what she wore in that show.
Some men started commenting about how she could do that. This was not why the king in that show married him, etc. Sounds ridiculous!
Now, do you think that those Pakistani men did the right thing? I don’t think so. But wait, the comeback was also stronger than the criticism.
Esra’s Reply
To put it in short, Esra handled the situation with grace. Being a Turkish woman, she went on Twitter and posted her reply.
It was written in Turkey, so I cannot translate what was written. But the replies to that tweet were amazing. A lot of people came and supported her bold step and wished her the best in her future endeavors.
Wrapping Up
It does not matter whether it is a shoot for Victoria’s Secret or for some Ethnic brand; an artist can rock it all. This is high time that we, as an audience, need to stop sexually objectifying them.
They are just models for those pieces of clothing. Yes, it is also true that we should always point out if some celebrity is involved in some unethical work, just like Brittany Venti did; she was the only one who saw a girl used to promote BDSM in a Balenciaga ad.
We need to be aware but also not do moral policing. Actors are human beings, too, and they will live their life on their own terms, just like us.
