Kerem Bürsin and Hande Erchel's relationship made (still makes) the hearts of millions of fans around the world swoon 😋 While watching "Knock on My Door," each of us hoped that the actors' amorous looks were not just acting, but real feeling. And our hopes have been met! 😍 Even though things aren't going so smoothly for the couple right now, let's look at their story from the beginning to the conflict we're witnessing right now 😉
How it all started?
At first, the two actors denied that they had feelings for each other. Yes, they went on live shows together, talked to their fans and exchanged meaningful looks 😇 However, neither Hande nor Kerem made an official announcement about their relationship. For both actors, the roles in the series were a breakthrough in their acting careers. They have been noticed not only in Turkey, but also abroad. And a lot of this development was facilitated by their love story 💗
According to journalists from Turkey, Hande Erchel had quite a bit of passion with her set partner 😏 For example, during the filming of the series "Love Don't Understand Words," everyone was talking about her relationship with Burak Deniz. Kerem, on the other hand, is not known for his lovemaking 🙄 It's a sign of his American-style upbringing, where his career comes first. The actor is very serious about choosing a life partner. Kerem Bursin was in a relationship with his ex-girlfriend for five years! It was for these reasons that communication between the set partners began as friendship 🥰
From friendship to love
Hande Erchel and Kerem Bürsin stated: "We're friends." – every chance they get. After the season finale of their show, the couple went on vacation to the Maldives 🌴 And no one even guessed that they were vacationing together until they were photographed by fans. They were caught at the airport when they were already returning to Turkey. And to deny that they've been in a relationship since April 2021 has become completely pointless 😅
After this revelation, both Kerem and Hande finally shared photos together on social media 😍 This was a confirmation of the truthfulness of the news in the press and the web. In that Instagram post, Kerem Bursin publicly confessed his love for the girl. He wrote: "In a beautiful place, with a beautiful woman, a beautiful view…" 😌 Isn't that romantic?? Hande Erchel also posted a photo together and made it clear that the enviable Turkish fiancé is already taken 😏
Of course, this news not only made the fans jump to the ceiling, but also raised the ratings of the series almost to the sky 🤯 It became even more interesting for everyone to follow the sequel "Knock on my door", because in some scenes the fans started to see not Eda and Serkan, but Hande and Kerem 😎 already
Criticism from the Turkish media
And then the pitfalls began. Journalists immediately tried to accuse the actors of having an affair for PR 💔 After all, that hotel in the Maldives, where they stayed on their first vacation together, fully paid for their stay. In fact, talk has begun that all these "romantic" moments are just a way to boost the series' ratings 😢
Kerem Bürsin hastened to refute such speculations 😉 He said they are human beings first and foremost. He doesn't understand those who love for the sake of PR and popularity, and playing love for the sake of ratings is not in his principles. Hande did not comment in any way on the dirt that has been poured on their relationship. The actress has always had (and still has) a position in which she tries to reduce communication with journalists to a minimum 🤗
"Alarm bells ringing" in Kerem Bürsin and Hande Erchel's relationship
1. Not invited to Hande Erchel's sister's birthday party
On January 18, Hande Gamze Erchel's sister celebrated her birthday. But the actress' lover was not there. For the fans, this exclusion of Kerem from the family circle was something surprising 🥺 Even more disturbing was the fact that Hande Erchel did not even respond to Kerem Bürsin's comment under the joint photo with his family. The actor complained that he loved them, but he still wasn't called out. However, the joking criticism remained unanswered 😔
2. There was no interaction on social media
While Kerem and Hande used to like each other's every post and write comments, since the end of January, it's like the actors have been laying low. And the usual hearts and love emoticons from the comments suspiciously disappeared 🤔
3. Neither of them denied the rumors
If before, either Kerem or Hande explained to journalists that all their speculations about the breakup were nothing, this time the "Knock On My Door" stars decided to just shut up 🤐 The only thing they did was to delete their photos together from their accounts (the ones that were not related to the show). In short, the situation is only getting more confusing 😥
Why Kerem Bürsin and Hande Erchel are (probably) still together?
1. It is quite possible that their new contracts are forcing them to hide their relationship
According to many experts in the film industry, the problem of the chill between Kerem and Hande lies in the stars' new contracts. Media moguls like Disney 😉 That means their future stars shouldn't flaunt their personal lives. Otherwise, viewers will not believe in the on-screen chemistry between the partners in the new project. And that's why Hande Erchel and Kerem Bürsin are acting a little strange right now 🧐
2. The actors are tired of hearing criticism from them
Agree, if you start dating someone and people accuse you at every corner that it is a PR, you want to hide your love away from strangers 💖 Considering that both Kerem and Hande do not like the close attention to themselves and try to discuss less personal life with journalists, the theory seems very plausible 😊
3. An imaginary breakup keeps the intrigue alive before an important step in a relationship
Many were expecting a beautiful move from the couple, a proposal for February 14 and news of Hande's pregnancy… But instead, the holiday went into a dead silence 💔 Perhaps the actors decided to keep the intrigue and excite fans by slowing down their relationship. After all, things don't always go smoothly? 😏 And afterwards some mind-blowing news awaits us. For example, that Hande and Kerem are getting ready to get married. Or they are deliberately distracting so that any serious steps in the relationship will be hidden from overly persistent fans 😉
