A few days back the chairman of PSL’s Peshawar Zalmi announced that he’s considering Pakistan’s most adored actor, Engin Altan Düzyatan who plays Ertugrul, as a brand ambassador for his team.
And people were barely over the news when he added that he might get Esra Bilgiç a.k.a everyone’s favourite Halime Sultan on board too! And soon Esra Bilgiç confirmed the news on her Twitter account:

Esra’s tweet had the internet going bonkers and within minutes of her tweet, she became one of the top trends in Pakistan!
