One of the most popular and well-paid actors in Turkey, Erkan Petekkaya, known for his role as Jihan in the series "Crossed Fates", has often been the subject of controversy with well-known TV series producers.
Not long ago, the actor was in the center of the Turkish media for the lawsuit against the production company of the series "Paramparça", because, according to the actor's claims, it was not paid for all series according to the contract that was signed at the beginning. Some of the episodes played by him have not yet been repaid by the company.
While recently, Jihan has refused to play intimate scenes, which are often accompanied by kisses. As the actor says, it is difficult for him to see the woman in the eye after these scenes.
" I don't understand how an actor can go home after such scenes and look his wife or children in the eye, " Erkan Petekkaya said, insisting that kissing scenes are not a necessary part of the film's script.
The actor has become part of the new Turkish series, "Despite", which has started shooting and is expected to start broadcasting soon.
