Uğur Dündar responds to paternity test allegations: 'We have always remained silent, but now...'

Journalist Uğur Dündar, who has recently been in the spotlight due to his polemic with former CHP leader Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, is now being talked about for his private life.

Some time ago, actor Metin Akpınar's daughter born out of wedlock came to light.

Duygu Nebioğlu has frequently been in the news with her statements following the revelation of the truth.

Subsequently, fingers were pointed at Uğur Dündar. It was alleged that Akpınar and Dündar, who are good friends, had relationships with the same woman in the past.

It was also added to the allegations that a paternity lawsuit had been filed and that a hearing would take place in June.
