The Turkish star, known for portraying Abdurrahman Alp in Diriliş: Ertuğrul, is in the country’s largest metropolis Karachi, where he urged his followers to donate to flood victims via the Turkish Red Crescent.

In a recent post on his social media, the 37-year-old shared a video clip of himself in the port city, interacting with his followers, and calling for aid to respond to the worst floods in living memory, with one-third of the country submerged under deluges.
