Controversy	• Argument with Nilperi Şahinkaya: In September 2022, Burak Deniz misbehaved with Turkish actress Nilperi Şahinkaya, while he was drunk. Reportedly, Burak was in Adana for the shooting of the TV series ‘Şahmeran’ and was staying in a hotel. The actress came to the city to attend the Golden Boll Film Festival and was staying in the Sheraton Hotel. On 15 September 2022, the actress was having dinner with her lover and friends in the Sheraton Hotel, where Burak was also present at that time. He went on their table and started cursing and yelling at them. After the incident, Nilperi Şahinkaya claimed to take a legal action against the actor. However, Burak later posted a message on his Instagram story asking for an apology from the actress for his actions. The message reads, "I would like to present to your information my statement on the subject, which has occupied the public since last Friday and caused many allegations. I would like to state that I am very sorry again for the incident that I experienced with Nilperi Şahinkaya, her boyfriend Emre Yusufi and her friend Deniz Akıncı at the hotel where we were due to the festival, and which resulted in me breaking my friends in a way I did not want. In the morning of a rather unpleasant night when I wanted to joke, I tried to contact them directly, both through my manager and myself, to apologize immediately and in person, but I was unsuccessful. I would like to apologize to Nilperi Şahinkaya and her friends, as well as to everyone who witnessed the incident that night, for this unfortunate event in the public eye and my behavior that does not set an example for the society, and I would like to reiterate how sorry I am for making the public busy with such an issue. Best Regards, Burak Deniz”
