She also shared her views about Pakistan and it’s people. “When I think of Pakistan, I always think of a very colourful place with kind and energetic people. I think it’s a crowded country and I like crowded places.”
Drawing a parallel between Pakistan and Turkey, Ezgi said, “It’s a bit like Turkey, probably. And you know, as they say, it’s two countries but one nation so I think we’re close.”
