Turkish Actress Meryem Uzerli Sparks Controversy with Lavish Dinner in Riyadh
Watan-Social media buzzed with news about Turkish actress Meryem Uzerli, known for her role in the series “Harem Sultan,” receiving a hefty sum for having dinner at the home of a Saudi family in the capital Riyadh, whose name was not disclosed.
This extravagance contrasts with the symbolic gestures, as Saudi authorities refrain from aiding the people of Gaza or helping them in any way while they face the danger of starvation during the blessed month of Ramadan. The rich in Saudi Arabia seem more focused on achieving fame, empty formalities, and posing with the Sultan’s favorites.
According to the website manisamansetgazetesi, Meryem Uzerli received 4 million Turkish lira, equivalent to 470,000 riyals, in just 4 hours. People remember Meryem Uzerli for her role as Hurrem Sultan in the magnificent century.
