Hülya Avşar Is Reminded of the Moment She Touched Ricky Martin During a Throwback TV Appearance
World-renowned Latin music star Ricky Martin is gearing up to perform in Istanbul once again after a 15-year hiatus. Prior to the concert, when reporters reminded him of a memorable television moment from 1998, the humorous response from Hülya Avşar sparked a wave of nostalgia on social media.
Renowned Latin pop sensation Ricky Martin is gearing up to reunite with his fans in Turkey after a lengthy hiatus.
Martin, who has sold millions of albums worldwide throughout his music career and is considered one of the most powerful names in the concert industry with his stage shows and energy, will perform in Istanbul on July 11th.
The concert, to be held at KüçükÇiftlik Park, is being organized by TemaCC, with the opening performance of the night to be delivered by Edis. As preparations continue for the concert, which is highlighted as one of the most notable international events of the organization, fans are counting down the days to hear age-defying hits like 'Livin' La Vida Loca', 'Maria', 'She Bangs', and 'The Cup of Life' live.
The concert, which is expected to turn into a grand visual feast with its stage production, dance team, and special light shows, is already being touted as one of the most talked-about events of the summer season.
The news of Ricky Martin's return to Istanbul not only brings to mind his upcoming concert, but also conjures up one of the most unforgettable moments in Turkish television history.
Back in 1998, Ricky Martin had visited Turkey as part of his album promotion and had been a guest on the Hülya Avşar Show, one of the most-watched entertainment programs of the time.
During the show, Hülya Avşar had asked the world-famous singer in English, 'May I touch you?' After receiving Martin's smiling approval, she had proceeded to touch the singer's abdominal muscles and buttocks.
This unexpected moment, which occurred live on air, had been the talk of television for days, had adorned the headlines of newspapers, and had become one of the most unforgettable images in the history of tabloids. Despite nearly thirty years having passed, those images are still frequently re-shared on social media.
Moreover, Ricky Martin himself has mentioned in interviews years later that he has not forgotten this incident. He spoke fondly of Hülya Avşar, saying, 'How could I forget her? Send my love to Hülya. But tell her, as the years have passed, my buttocks have grown and become like a cushion. She can touch them more comfortably now.' This statement clearly shows that he recalls that day with a smile.
Let's take a moment to recall those times:
As Ricky Martin's concert is approaching, reporters naturally reminded Hülya Avşar of that legendary television moment that took place years ago.
Ricky Martin is set to return to Istanbul. When confronted with the question, 'Years ago, you had touched his butt. Will something similar happen this time?' Avşar, bursting into laughter, responded:
'Just imagine me going and touching his butt again. But there's a time and place for everything.'
Avşar, known for her candid demeanor and humorous approach, quickly became a trending topic on social media with these comments. Numerous users began to reshare footage from the 1998 program.
Following Hülya Avşar's statements, both the old program footage and interviews given by Ricky Martin years ago have resurfaced and are circulating once again.
