In an interview Furkan was asked about his fans and what he thought about the comments that they loved his eyes and his lips, he replied – " My lips are like two big ribs! When it was so big, I had difficulty in articulation at the beginning. I worked a lot, now I'm getting it together. I also bite and eat a lot when I am stressed, but no matter how much I eat, they don't seem to end " (laughs).
Furkan has a large social media following of 2.5 million on Instagram. Most of these fans are from his appearance in Tatli Intikam and Meryem. Im sure that his new series this summer will also gain him a few more fans.
