Eligible groom: who is Hakan Sabanci, the millionaire who stole Eda’s heart from the series “Knock on my door”

How did the romance between Hande Erçel and Hakan Sabancı develop and with what background did they enter this relationship?

Hakan Sabanci was born on February 14, 1991 in Istanbul. The zodiac sign is Aquarius. Height 1.75 meters, weight about 65 kg – quite tall and quite slender! But Hakan became famous not because of charm – although he certainly has it. He is the heir of one of the richest families in Turkey. The Sabancıs own Densa Holding, which specializes in shipping and aviation. The family fortune is estimated at more than a billion dollars. Father Omer Sabanci runs the business and Hakan has two other brothers – Kerim and Haji.

Hakan has worked in the family business since he was young and loves football. He is a fan of the Beşiktaş team. In addition, young Sabanci is a member of the board of directors of a sports club, which includes his favorite team.

The young businessman was always a welcome guest at social events, and the Turkish press closely followed his novels. He met the famous Turkish singer Hadise, actresses Merve Bolugur and Cansu Melis Karakush, model Didem Soydan. But he parted with everyone quite quickly, but with Hande not everything went according to the usual pattern …

Hande Ercel is a popular Turkish actress, winner of the title of Miss Turkey and the most beautiful woman in the world in 2018-2020 according to Top Beauty World. Russian viewers fell in love with her after watching the popular television series Knock on My Door, in which Hande played the main role, florist and designer Eda.

During filming, Hande began an affair with a partner on the set, the performer of the role of Serkan Bolat, Kerem Bursin. The couple confirmed their relationship in 2021.

At first, viewers of the show were sure it was just another move to promote the show, but it turned out that the love was real.

Everyone believed in Kerem’s serious intentions, including Hande. But, alas, in February 2022, the couple broke up without explanation – rumor had it that Erchel’s jealousy was to blame. After the separation, the girl was sad and difficult to bear the separation.

She was credited with several novels with other colleagues, she was also in a relationship with actor Kaan Yildirim. And then information appeared that the new knight of Hande was the same Hakan.

The first news about the romance between Hande Erçel and Hakan Sabanci appeared in Takvim. Reporters, citing ubiquitous insiders, confidently said the couple celebrated the 2023 New Year together at the actress’ home.

Already in March, Turkish media wrote that the Knock on My Door actress and her new boyfriend flew to Finland for the weekend. It was even clarified that the Sabanci family opposed the trip and did not give Hakan a private jet, so the celebrities had to fly on regular airlines in an attempt to maintain their privacy. Failure: images of the airport were leaked to the press. However, Hakan and Hande were in no rush to confirm the romance.

Soon the couple was arrested in Copenhagen, and in April the Turkish press reported that Sabanci had bought a yacht and was going to spend an unforgettable summer there with his beloved, despite the disapproval of his parents, Arzu and Omer Sabanci.

Of course, Arzu and Omer do not participate in talk shows and do not complain about their son, but, according to ubiquitous insiders, everything is simple – the Sabanci family was not sure that an affair with a super actress popular would benefit Hakan and additionally they saw a hunter in Handa behind the state. Articles even appeared in Turkish newspapers stating that Erchel was only interested in the heir because of his condition – it was rumored that Arzu ordered such publications.

And it had an effect, however, in the short term – in February 2023 the couple broke up, but then got back together.

However, everything changed when Hakan managed to arrange a personal meeting of his beloved with the Sabanci family. It happened at a friend’s wedding, where the businessman brought Hande as his “+1”. Fans, of course, were upset that Arzu didn’t invite her son’s chosen one to visit and met her on neutral territory. However, apparently after this encounter the ice melted.

In general, according to the law of the genre, it seems that everything happens for a marriage proposal!
