Ask Ve Gurur is a 2025 Turkish drama series directed by Koralp Gumus and Murat Senoy, following a proud aristocratic family navigating financial ruin and the impossible social pressures that come with it. With sharp writing and strong performances, this series captures the collision of pride, love, and desperation in contemporary Istanbul.
What is Ask Ve Gurur about?
An elite Istanbul family, once at the pinnacle of social standing, finds itself on the brink of total financial collapse. To preserve appearances and secure the family's future, the parents set their sights on arranging a marriage between one of their three daughters and Tolga, a young man believed to be a wealthy heir from a distinguished family. The eldest daughter, proud and independent by nature, wants nothing to do with the arrangement — yet she cannot deny the pull she feels toward Tolga. Meanwhile, her younger sister sees the match as an opportunity she refuses to let pass. What no one suspects is that Tolga's polished exterior hides a secret of his own: his fortune is as much a fiction as the family's claim to stability. As hidden truths edge closer to the surface, alliances shift and the very meaning of pride is put to the test.
Cast & crew
The series stars Deniz Çatalbaş in the lead role, bringing a measured intensity to a character caught between duty and genuine feeling. Batuhan Demir plays Tolga with a disarming confidence that makes his secret all the more believable. Ceylan Batı, Ali Pınar, and Lara Aksüt round out an ensemble that gives each family member a distinct, credible voice.
Context & significance
Turkish drama series have long held a devoted audience among Persian-speaking viewers across the diaspora — a tradition that extends back decades to dubbed serials watched in living rooms from Tehran to Toronto. Ask Ve Gurur fits squarely into the beloved dizi tradition: layered family dynamics, class tension, and slow-burn romance wrapped in a prestige production. For Iranian diaspora viewers who grew up watching Turkish series dubbed into Persian, this title offers exactly that experience — Persian dubbing is available on K-Time, so no subtitles are needed to follow every line of dialogue. The class-and-marriage premise also resonates with viewers familiar with the social codes of Iranian family life, where reputation and appearances carry real weight.
