Her official description on the TRT 1 website says: "The daughter of a fugitive Turkmen prince, Halime can overcome any problem thanks to her patience and intelligence.

It is later revealed that Halime and her father and brother are members of the Seljuk royal family and are wanted by the Templars for this reason.

When Sehzade Numan, who is later killed by Afşin Bey - a Seljuk operative, attempts to force his daughter to marry El Aziz so that he can become the Sultan of the Selçuk Empire, and after a series of other events, Halime is taken back to the Kayı.

Süleyman Şah later dies from a combination of a boil infection and drowning which leads to the Kayı Tribe moving to Erzurum.

Towards the end of the season, after a failed attempt on her life by Aytolun and after Noyan is defeafed, Ertuğrul's son is born, named Gündüz.

The Kayi Tribe then divides with Halime tearfully bidding farewell to Selcan, who goes with her husband, Gündoğdu, east.

On the journey, Halime is devastated upon the death of her brother, Yiğit, as a result of Sadettin Köpek's, a Seljuk Vizier's, ambush.

In the third season, Halime faces Aslıhan Hatun, Hanim of the Çavdar Tribe, who falls in love with Ertuğrul.

Despite her only being mentioned a few times, she significantly influenced the plot and was a minor obstacle in Ertuğrul and İlbilge Hatun's marriage.

Osman is also shown to be very attached to his mother, despite not remembering her, as he was the only son of Ertuğrul who opposed his marriage to İlbilge (but later accepted).

[13] Like other actors who participated in the series, Esra Bilgiç, who plays the role of Halime, also became extremely popular in Pakistan.

[14] Bilgiç, who once revealed "how she was humbled by the love she had received in the country", also shared a viral video of her learning Pakistani slang.

[21] After Priyanka Chopra, the UN goodwill ambassador, snubbed a Pakistani girl for calling out against her for warmongering, Esra Bilgic also tweeted about this and said, "Being patriotic doesn’t mean you should encourage war.

As the actress is a model in Pakistan, a video of her in the Pakistani national dress shalwar kameez also became a topic of interest on social media.

[36][37] Ertugrul Bey's wife was portrayed as Hayme Ana in the Turkish television series Kuruluş/Osmancık [tr] (1988), adapted from a novel by the same name.
