Known for her long and successful career as both an actress and a TV host, Zuhal Topal previously shared a close professional relationship with Ufuk Özkan. While several actors from the series Geniş Aile visited Özkan in the hospital and received public praise for their support, Topal’s absence and silence became a topic of debate in entertainment circles.
