Korean woman runs into trouble in Turkey for showing peace sign: ‘As a Turkish, I never heard that sign is banned'
It is not uncommon for people to show a peace sign while taking selfies or making reels. That is what this Korean woman was doing while visiting Turkey, but it led to her getting a warning from the authorities, who told her that the particular sign is banned in the country. The video, however, has sparked mixed reactions on social media, with some Turkish people claiming they have never heard about the ban on the sign. A Korean content creator who got a warning for showing a peace sign. (Instagram/@tyongeee) South Korean content creator Tyongee posted the video on Instagram. She wrote, 'I did not know at all! It's amazing how I get to learn a new culture and manner whenever I travel.' In the video, she poses for a selfie while showing the peace sign. However, two men instantly call her out and tell her that the sign is banned in Turkey and that she shouldn't flash it. When asked why, one of the men says, 'In your culture, it means peace, but unfortunately in Turkey, it is raised about terrorism,' leaving the Korean woman visibly shocked. Curious, Tyongee asks the men if a mini heart sign is allowed, and they say that she can flash that popular sign. Social media had a lot to say: While many expressed surprise, some claiming to be Turkish said they were unaware of the sign ban. An individual posted, 'I like that they actually explained to her very calmly.' Another asked, 'But why is it related to terrorism?' An individual replied, 'This symbol is frequently used by the terrorist organisation called the PKK, which has caused the deaths of many civilians in Turkey. Because of this, it may provoke negative reactions from civilians in Turkey.' A third remarked, 'As a Turkish, I have never heard that a sign is banned. They just made it up... It must be their personal thoughts. We use it and it's super common.' A fourth wrote, 'They were respectful, and the girl was respectful. That's how people should talk every time.'

Anupam Kher's Birthday Note For ‘God Of Acting' Robert De Niro: ‘You Have Inspired Millions'
"I feel honoured, humbled and privileged to know you as a friend," Anupam Kher wrote in his note to Robert De Niro. Anupam Kher has been in the spotlight recently with his directorial venture Tanvi The Great, a film that has earned praise not only from Indian audiences but also from Hollywood legend Robert De Niro. Their enduring friendship drew attention once again on August 17, when Robert De Niro celebrated his birthday. Kher, who fondly refers to him as the 'God of Acting," shared a heartfelt post on social media. The Bollywood star revealed how 'honoured, humbled and privileged" he feels to have Robert De Niro as a friend. Anupam Kher also admired the Taxi Driver star's dedication and talent, saying his work has inspired performers across the world. Taking to Instagram, Kher treated fans with a series of special moments with De Niro. The post included a touching photo of the two friends hugging during one of their earlier meetings. Another picture was from the New York Indian Film Festival, where Kher received support from his best friend from Hollywood. Alongside these, Kher also shared photos that captured their bond over the years, different events and gatherings. In the caption, Anupam Kher wrote, 'Happy Birthday, Dearest Mr Robert De Niro. May God give you all the happiness in the world. You have inspired millions of actors (including me) all over the world with your HARD WORK and BRILLIANCE. The easiest expression to use in your case is that you are the God of Acting in the truest sense. I feel honoured, humbled and privileged to know you as a friend. May you have a long and healthy life. Love and Prayers always." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Anupam Kher (@anupampkher) An Emotional Moment For Anupam Kher In the past interview with India TV, Anupam Kher, praising the Hollywood star, had said, 'In my view, Robert De Niro is the God of acting. Back in drama school, we would watch his films like The Godfather, Raging Bull, Falling in Love and many others. He is an institution in himself. Just as I consider Dilip Kumar a legend here in India, I feel De Niro holds that place globally, as one of the greatest artists in the world. I even got the chance to work with him in Silver Linings Playbook." 'When I first met Robert De Niro, I told the assistant, 'I don't want to meet him on set. I am his devotee, truly his admirer. Please arrange for me to meet him in his van.' The assistant must have told him that an actor from India wanted to meet him. I carried a beautiful idol of Lord Ganesha with me and presented it to him in his van. When I saw Robert De Niro right in front of me, I couldn't believe it. Tears filled my eyes out of respect," Anupam Kher added. According to the actor, 'He seemed a little uncomfortable and asked what had happened. I told him, 'No, sir, I am simply overwhelmed. I'm the son of a clerk from the Forest Department in Shimla, and through hard work, I've reached a point where I'm standing before Robert De Niro. That thought brought tears to my eyes.' He said, 'Okay, fine. Very good. I'm very happy to meet you.' We took a photo together. But when we later reached the set, he was no longer the same Robert De Niro I had met in the van—he had fully transformed into his character." Tanvi The Great featured Anupam Kher, Shubhangi Dutt, Iain Glen, Boman Irani and Jackie Shroff. First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
