Selahattin has become one of the compelling characters in the series Şakir Paşa Ailesi: Mucizeler ve Skandallar. What is Selahattin's story, and how did he become one of Şakir Paşa's children?
Selahattin helps with gardening work at the mansion, and Şakir Paşa shows him special attention. He even addresses him as 'my son.' We learned about Selahattin's story in the 5th episode of the series.
Şakir Paşa explains how he adopted Selahattin with these words: “When I first saw Selahattin, he was tiny. He was being sold in a slave market, inside a cage, just like an animal. My own children came to mind, and my heart tightened. I wanted to run away from there. Sometimes, just witnessing something makes you carry the weight of a crime committed by someone else.”
Şakir Paşa continues to recount: “I was just about to turn my back and leave. Suddenly, he looked at me and smiled. Then, I took Selahattin and came to Istanbul with him.”
