But these photos were thrown away by the selection committee.
When the organizers noticed the situation at the last minute, my pictures were taken
out of the trash and I entered the contest.
The rest is known.”
His father is his biggest supporter.

Burak has had a keen interest in football since childhood and is a fan of Turkish Football
Club Fenerbahçe.
“I was a fanatical Rıdvan Dilmen fan.
All the walls of my room were filled with his paintings and embossed stickers.
I would be a footballer if I wasn't an actor,” he said in an interview.
Only Burak’s true fans know that he has a painter's side.
“Painting was the only lesson I liked since elementary school.
I always thought about this at my age, why is painting not as important as mathematics?
My biggest advice to families is to never force their children to do anything.
Whatever the tendency of the child, they should direct the talent to whatever.
Because success sounds like that.
I am here today thanks to the pictures I drew.
Because I always kept my dreams alive.”
He finds comfort in getting lost in nature and his favorite season is summer.
We saw Burak’s horse riding in dramas many times, but in real life, he is totally a hippophile.
