Okan does not see this as a form of defamation. For him, receiving accusations like this is part of the risk of being a public figure.

"Yes, that's sometimes the risk we face as public figures. There will always be people who don't like us, there will always be people who want to make things difficult for us, but if we think about it, we can't force people's thoughts," said Okan.

3. Not Willing to Report

He himself admitted that he was reluctant to bring this accusation to the table. Moreover, there are many matters that need to be resolved.

"No need, why bother. Because we have a lot of work, we have to focus on this Corona too, so we don't need to pay attention to things like that," said this handsome soap opera actor.

4. Having Life Principles

Okan emphasizes again, the most important thing is that the people closest to him know what he is like.

"The important thing is that we just live according to our life principles. And actually people know, whether it is true or not, people actually know," Okan concluded.
