Claims that Ahmet Mekin, one of the master names of Turkish cinema, had passed away spread rapidly on social media. The 94-year-old artist's grandson, actor Mekin Sezer, announced that the claims do not reflect the truth.
Sezer denied the reports of his death, stating that his grandfather is in good health. The posts claiming that Ahmet Mekin had passed away had caused concern among the artist's fans.
Mekin, one of the unforgettable actors of Yeşilçam, is widely known for the character Cemşit he portrayed in the film Selvi Boylum Al Yazmalım.
The artist, who has been living in the Erdek district of Balıkesir since 1980, collided with a running child and fell while walking in his neighborhood in May of last year, resulting in a broken hip bone.
It was known that Mekin, who underwent a successful surgery, was continuing his recovery process at home. With his grandson's statement, it has become clear that the death rumors circulating on social media are baseless.
