Many loved seeing photos from the actor’s Mumbai visit. Commenting on his post, one fan wrote, “I’m so glad you visited India and experienced the culture and diversity. People love you here…” Another one said, “Hope you had a good stay in Mumbai, India. I love you, and you are hot.” One more said, “You were here in India, I cant believe and you went to the ISKCON temple… thanks for respecting our culture. Love you more now.”

This is the actor’s first visit to India, and he opened up about it in a recent interview. “I would have liked to come here to India much before, because I know your culture and like everything about it, it’s unbelievable. I know it deeply, and want to know more. If I wasn’t this busy with the many things I do as a job in my own country, I wanted to spend more time. It’s a big culture,” Burak had said in an interview with Hindustan Times.

When asked about his fan following in India, Burak had said, “Let’s see, it’s my first time! Our culture is so similar, so because of that our projects are also in the same plane. Both our projects are full of sensitivity, and hence we understand each other. People here see me as a family member because of it. This is a powerful experience for me too.”
