In the second episode, she runs away from an attacker on the roof of the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul.

However, she did not give up filming, so she filmed another scene tomorrow, although her movement was limited.
"The next day we filmed at the airport, those are the scenes you'll see at the airport in Paris, and I actually practically broke my spine," the actress recalled, adding that she was happy that she had the opportunity to shoot the scene in Istanbul again this year. times as it should, she said.
