The truth about Kızıl Goncalar revealed: The show's screenwriter told his own family's story

Directed by Ömür Atay and Özgür Sevimli, the ratings-record-breaking NOW TV series Kızıl Goncalar continues to receive great acclaim with every episode.

Kızıl Goncalar, which consistently manages to be among the most talked-about topics on social media, made a huge impact once again with its latest episode.

Following the latest episode, screenwriter Şükrü Necati Şahin's speech at the Golden Butterfly Awards came to mind, and Şahin managed to become a trending topic with every sentence he spoke.

Kızıl Goncalar left its mark on the 50th anniversary of the Golden Butterfly Awards, taking home three awards: Best Actor, Best Screenwriter, and Best Director.

CHOSEN AS BEST SCREENWRITER

Kızıl Goncalar writer Şükrü Necati Şahin managed to shake up social media with the speech he gave after receiving the "Best Screenwriter" award.

Şahin's mother was also not sent to school due to religious reasons, but his father always respected her.

In the series, Cüneyd's efforts to send Zeynep to school were compared to the screenwriter's own words.

Here are those statements by Şükrü Necati Şahin:

''Should I be a woman who was not sent to primary school due to religious reasons? I was lucky, and my mother was lucky too, because my father loved and respected my mother very much.

Our family peace depended on this decision of my father's. I never doubted that women would change this country and the world.

And I dedicate this award primarily to my late mother, but even more so to the 'Kızıl Goncalar' (Red Buds) of this country who were not as lucky as she was.''

FLOOD OF COMMENTS

Comments such as the following were made on social media regarding the screenwriter's statements:

'Now I understand better why this script is so good and high-quality'

'So that's why this story we are watching was so real'

were among the comments.

ÖZLEM GÜRSES SCENES DREW ATTENTION

Journalist Özlem Gürses was a guest in the latest episode of Kızıl Goncalar. The characters Cüneyt, played by Mert Yazıcıoğlu, and Levent, played by Özcan Deniz, discussed the topic of religious sects with Özlem Gürses on a live broadcast. That scene became one of the most talked-about moments of the night.
