The Turkish star explained how surprised she was upon hearing the news. The rumors erupted on April 24, 2025, when Afra Saraçoğlu was spotted having dinner with Okan Buruk.

Another added, "It's good that she put him in his place, if only it would work, you could shut up and leave the girl alone," in response to the public interaction with Gazete Magazin.
