The Ertugrul fever might have slowed down in Pakistan, but the fact remains, the show is still doing outstandingly well. People of all ages in Pakistan are hooked to the show. From the story to the characters, everything is being adored in the country.
Ertugrul Ghazi is a Turkish show, set in the pre-Ottoman era times, about how the son of Suleman Shah defied all odds for Islam. Starring Turkish actors Engin Altan Duzyatan and Esra Belgic among others, Ertugrul is the most-watched and talked about show in Pakistan.

For a while, Pakistani celebrities had been condemning airing of Turkish dramas in Pakistan, while our own industry continues to suffer. Shaan Shahid was one of the few people who started this debate. Along with Reema, Shaan was of the opinion that Turkish shows should not be promoted in Pakistan, and the spending should instead be done on Pakistani cinema.
This is what Shaan had said in the context of Ertugrul previously…
Shaan Shahid again hit it hard to Turkish series Dirilis Ertugrul.

Since then, people have constantly been pointing out why they loved Ertugrul so much and why Shaan was wrong in commenting on it before watching it. Furthermore, many are still asking Shaan if he has completed the show or is commenting before its end.
E since Ertugrul started airing on PTV, it has garnered a lot of attention. Even the likes of Halima Sultan and Ertugrul (actors), themselves have shown love for the Pakistani audience.
