The Turkish historical TV drama Dirilis Ertugrul (Ertugrul's Resurrection) has been on top of its popularity in Pakistan since the state broadcaster began airing a dubbed version in April.
The show's immense popularity has polarised opinion in Pakistan. Some feel it is a threat to local culture and promotes violence, while others applaud it for glorifying Muslim heroes.
However, singer Hadiqa Kiani has shared a rendition of one of the Turkish songs she had sung at an Opera house in 2005.
Taking to Twitter, the singer wrote: “In 2005, I had the honour of singing the Turkish song Sen Ağlama at the AKM Opera House,” she tweeted. “Today, I have remastered that song as a tribute to series Diriliş: Ertuğrul, Sezen Aksu and to the people of Turkey.”
She went on to add, “May our love and bond be forever strong.”
