The most talked-about moment at Gülenay Çoruh’s engagement ceremony was not the rings, but the gift her father kept hidden behind a curtain.

Şevket Çoruh and Günay Karacaoğlu’s daughter became engaged to Batuhan at actor İlker Ayrık’s farm in Istanbul. Guests from the theater and entertainment world attended, and veteran theater artist Müjdat Gezen placed the engagement rings on the couple.

Çoruh initially appeared to reject the usual engagement gifts of gold or money. He placed a keychain around each of the couple’s necks, leaving them and the guests briefly puzzled. The mystery ended when a curtain opened to reveal a new motorcycle.

Çoruh, who is known for his passion for motorcycles, gave the vehicle to his daughter as her engagement present. The surprise received a strong round of applause from those at the ceremony.
