Barış Arduç and Hande Erçel's Steamy Scenes Spark Buzz—Rumor Says Hakan Sabancı Was Offered an Acting Role

After starring together in the film Rüzgara Bırak, Hande Erçel and Barış Arduç have reunited as co-stars in the series Aşkı Hatırla, and the pair is currently dominating headlines. The steamy scenes between the two actors in their new show have stirred major buzz, dividing opinions and prompting a flurry of criticism. Amid the controversy, a surprising new claim has surfaced. Speaking on the show Gel Konuşalım, entertainment journalist Mehmet Üstündağ revealed that Hakan Sabancı, Erçel’s longtime boyfriend, has reportedly been offered an acting role.

Hande Erçel and Barış Arduç first shared the screen in the Netflix film Rüzgara Bırak. Now, they’re back together for a second time in Aşkı Hatırla, which recently debuted its first three episodes on Disney+. With a striking promotional campaign—from its posters to its trailers—the series has already captured significant attention.

Filmed in the scenic region of Cappadocia, the digital series features Erçel as Güneş and Arduç as Deniz. From start to finish, each episode delivers its own drama, but it’s the intimate scenes—full of passionate kisses and sensual moments—that have left audiences stunned.

The heat between Erçel and Arduç on screen sparked rumors that Erçel had broken up with her boyfriend, Hakan Sabancı. Speculation quickly spread that Sabancı had left their shared home, and some even claimed that Erçel would no longer become a member of the prominent Sabancı family.

However, the gossip site 2. Sayfa quickly shut down these claims, stating that the rumors were unfounded and not based on any truth.

A Shocking Twist: Hakan Sabancı and Acting?

In a surprising twist, journalist Mehmet Üstündağ dropped a bombshell on Gel Konuşalım, broadcast on TV8. According to him, Hakan Sabancı—who has been dating Erçel for years—was previously offered a role in a TV series.

When asked whether he’d consider acting or appearing on screen, Sabancı reportedly responded, “Are you serious?! I’m not an actor, I’m nothing like that. I don’t want to disrespect real professionals.”

Whether this offer was serious or just a passing suggestion remains unclear, but one thing’s for sure: between on-screen chemistry, off-screen drama, and now the idea of Sabancı stepping into the spotlight, this story isn’t cooling down anytime soon.
