"I WILL MAKE IT UP TO HIM"

After his statement became a trending topic, many users reacted to the veteran actor, and İlker Aksum responded harshly to the comments:

Dear friends, I made a broadcast yesterday because I could not attend Şinasi Yurtsever's funeral. I expressed my grievances about my profession. Hundreds of thousands wished their condolences. However, in many comments, it was said, 'This is how your world is,' 'You are slaves to money'... Look, friends, my producer doesn't even know about this incident. I know what will happen to me. I know what will happen and what won't. I said, 'Yesterday, 150 people would not be able to earn money.' Including their families, it reaches 500.

We earn per episode. This wouldn't have happened. There are aspects of this that are out of our control. I will keep my Şinasi alive. I will make up for my sadness from yesterday. I will make myself forgiven by my Şinasi, but please do not say 'You have become a slave to money.' Shame on you! When have you ever seen such a thing from me? How many years have I been in this business, when have I ever been a slave to money? No, I do not accept this.
