Sibling Rivalry on Set: Özgü Delioglan and Metehan Demiroz in RTL's "Under Us"
Actor Delioglan expresses reluctance towards locking lips with his on-screen brother on TV
In the popular RTL series "Under Us," actors Özgü Delioglan and Metehan Demiroz play siblings, Esma Gülek and Baris Gülek, respectively. Their on-screen relationship has extended beyond the confines of the series, as they often bicker like real siblings off-camera.
Delioglan, born in Pforzheim, commented to the German Press Agency in Cologne that their unique relationship has developed due to their roles. She stated that, as actors, they could pull off a kissing scene, but it would feel strange. Delioglan has no desire to film a kissing scene with Demiroz in another production.
Demiroz, born in Ludwigsburg, sometimes jokingly refers to Delioglan as his sister. Their playful banter often includes clowning around, pushing each other, or making mischief. Metehan Demiroz's real sister has even raised an eyebrow at this close bond. In fact, she is almost jealous of Delioglan due to their close relationship on set.
The series, which has been ongoing since last year, is filmed in Cologne and has been part of RTL's afternoon programming since 1994. Delioglan plays a baker, while Demiroz portrays a customs officer.
While the specific influences of their on-screen sibling relationship on their off-screen dynamics and personal lives are not publicly known, it's common for actors who portray siblings to develop a close rapport during filming due to the amount of time spent together and the emotional depth required for such roles. This can positively impact their personal relationship off-screen.
