Backlash Against Hande Erçel and Barış Arduç Over Intimate Scenes

Hande Erçel and Barış Arduç, who share the lead roles in the digital series Aşkı Hatırla, have sparked controversy on social media due to their intimate scenes. The duo, who previously starred together in the film Rüzgara Bırak, reunited for this new project — but not everyone is pleased with the results.

Their love scenes quickly became a hot topic online, drawing a wave of criticism from viewers. Many expressed discomfort and disapproval, with comments like “No one should do this just for money,” and “If I were their partner, I’d be losing my mind.”

The backlash included a variety of strong reactions on social media:

“This isn’t worth it for money.”

“I’m happy in my cave, far from this.”

“Gupse tries to act like she’s too confident to care about this stuff, but I bet she’s biting pillows at home.”

“This is way too much.”

“I never expected this kind of performance from them.”

“If I were their spouse, I’d be going crazy.”

Barış Arduç is married to fellow actress Gupse Özay, and the couple shares a daughter named Jan Asya.

Meanwhile, Hande Erçel has been in a relationship with businessman Hakan Sabancı for the past three years.
