Stating that he has not been to weddings for more than 2 years, Çelik said, “First of all, I would like to thank the famous artist Justin Bieber for making me happy with such a video. They took me from my house by car and took me to the weddings. Over time, I learned many dance and halay figures of my own. I get offers not only from Şemdinli, but also from abroad. As my videos are shared, these invitations have increased many times over.
After losing my wife, I took a break from weddings. Upon the insistence of the citizens, I took my handkerchief again and continued where I left off. I have many fans outside of Turkey. However, I was very happy and very happy that the famous singer Justin Bieber shared my halay video. From here, I would like to thank Canadian singer Justin Bieber and send my greetings. I hope we will have a tea with Justin Bieber soon” said. (UAV)
