Childhood years: Her interest in acting started with the show at the end of the year when she was in her kindergarten. When She felt the magic of the scene at her age, she realized that this was what she wanted to do. Her mother has always supported her in this regard. “I think I was nine years old in my first set experience, it was a drama called ‘Take Your Luck’. For me, acting was a bit like playing house at that age, frankly. I remember feeling comfortable and cheerful. I really wanted it so much that my family always supported acting. For example, my mother says, “I always knew you would not spoil.” You know, being an actor at a young age, there is a risk of fame and deterioration of his behavior. But I have never been a spoiled child, nor was I jealous of siblings. I was a naive kid. There was a game more fun than being a house, and they were shooting you on camera. ”
Education life: She studied in Kırlareli until high school. She then moved to Istanbul to study at Saint Joseph French High School. She took part in the French theater team of the high school for 5 years. She then graduated from the Haliç University Conservatory Department.
First step into acting: She started her television adventure with the TV series “En İyi Arkadaşım” (My Best Friend) in 2004 when she was 11 years old.
With which project did she shine? She drew attention with the character of ‘Melisa Taşkıran’ in the ‘Sunshine Girls’ series.
Personality traits: cheerful, friendly, energetic, sincere, naive, ambitious, determined. “It would be a lie if I said I am not ambitious. Everyone must have ambitions alive. As I get older, I can remain calm even though I am professionally ambitious. So as time passes, you learn to manage your ambition. I am a determined, hardworking person; If I want something to happen I hug it with four hands I’m a warrior if that’s what I want. I am a Pisces sign, I am rising, I guess I am feeling intensely because of my sign. I don’t like to cry in front of people, but my joy and anger are obvious. I may need to control anger more. ”
Social: She loves going out with her friends and family in her spare time. She cannot stand sitting at home, she is bored. “But when I’m tired, I lie on my bed and watch TV series. I also love to read books, I read to be able to master more things, not just for a hobby. ”
Mindset: She loves to travel and see to feed her soul. “Some of them like shopping, buy themselves a new bag or shoe as a reward. A new item doesn’t give me that feeling, she. However, I am very excited to go to a new place, to meet other people. It is very important to be able to view the world from other windows. ”
What kind of person is she on set? She’s very energetic on the set and loves to have fun and laugh. “I think this is a genetic condition, so is my mother and grandfather. We are a crazy family. We are very funny, laughing all day. They tell me ‘You always laugh and you are very funny’ on the sets I work on. I love to have fun and laugh. I prefer chatting with people rather than dealing with the phone. Everyone around me says “You are very energetic, you never stop and you make us laugh a lot.”
First motion picture: Michael Önder / Taksim Hold’em
The view of love: “I’m sure everyone’s expectations and perceptions of relationships are different, but for me, the secret of a long relationship is actually being with someone you can be very good friends with. I think it is much easier to overcome everything if your lover is also a very good friend that you can clearly tell everything about and would like to listen to him. ”
Her view of life: She believes that we should not talk big on any subject in life. “So when was the last time I made a judgment saying“ I would never do that ”and then I did not know much. Actually, I am still not where I want to be, but I also realize that getting there requires self-education and always being open to improvement. That’s why it is necessary to believe, to work, to educate oneself and never to complacent. Fame is just a dictionary word for me. To be honest, I can say that the only thing that changed in my life after I started to be known for acting was to greet people on the street more and take pictures. I like socializing and meeting different people anyway. ”
Her view of business life: She was a child when she started acting, and she saw sets as a training place because she worked with actors of theater origin. “Now the industry is really big and has become more corporate. However, when I started, when I was about eight or nine years old, the setting was not that formal. We were working with actors from theater backgrounds and it was like training. I literally lived through what you call sarcasm. I think 50 percent imagination and 50 percent knowledge are important in acting. Before starting the conservatory, it was always important for me to imagine, to be able to imagine, to be able to visualize when you close your eyes. But after I entered the conservatory, I learned from my professors that knowledge is very important. You must have a knowledge. So if you are shooting a job for a period, you should definitely know something about that period. Because not without knowing. It would be a lie, it would be fake. You have to know to act like the character you portray. Also, reasoning and perception are very important. My teacher at the conservatory, Murat Karasu, has a saying that “Stupid people cannot be an actor”. I believe this statement is correct. Your perceptions should be very clear both in front of the camera and on the stage. The TV series ‘Sunshine Girls’ has a special place in my career. It may take some time for each actor’s face, posture to settle and his acting to evolve. I played in very successful dramas before ‘Girls of the Sun, but the right combination was with this drama. I got to know myself better with this series, and I lived through a period when I transitioned from childhood to young girl.
Career plan: There are no limits to acting. The script plays whatever it requires. “After all, everything is a part of life, and we offer sections from life. Of course, I am not a tool for sex scenes made out of rating concerns. I really want to do theater, this is one of the biggest reasons for me to enter the conservatory. I would also like to take part in a science fiction business in cinema. ”
Future Dream: She loves his job, but at 70, she still can’t imagine herself working long hours. “That’s why I would like to make a project that can pave the way for young people in the future. I can also be in the digital world and do things that I can create by writing. ”
How is she with social media? She has good relations with social media, especially she likes to be active on Instagram. “Frankly, I chose to use this platform as myself, so you don’t see a different Aegean by looking there. But writing under the post is what I really have the hardest time. Sometimes I write silly things and then I see that they are liked the most. I even once stated that “I don’t know what to write, I wrote this for him.” Things like this are more liked because I guess it’s more intimate. ”
How does she keep his shape? She has a good relationship with sports, sports are a way of life for her, as well as a healthy diet. “My father, my former basketball player, also took part in the basketball team of the university for years. I came from a family involved in sports. I started ballet at the age of four, and after doing ballet for two years, I continued basketball. I played volleyball, handball, athletics. I was a short distance runner and even got an offer. I was in high school and I was not very interested in professional sports life. I love to do sports, the part my star does not get along with is being in gyms. I can’t imagine myself walking on metal tools. If you say Ege come, let’s play basketball, the horses will come. We do not like or consume fast food as a family. Börek, donut, pastry are not for me either. I like salads and vegetables instead. Therefore, although I do not pay much attention to my diet, I am lucky in terms of the foods I love. People eat buckwheat to lose weight, I eat it because I love it. ”
Which series does she follow? She loves science fiction stuff. She was very impressed by the ‘Dark’ drama. “Time travel may sound crazy, but I believe it may be. Her story is very strong in ‘Sense 8’ and she looks at the genders and human beings from a completely different perspective. And most importantly, love is love everywhere. ”
Who does she admire? If she was to take part in a Hollywood project, she would have liked to work with director Wes Anderson, whom she hated. The actor she wanted to play would be Christoph Waltz, who she thought was great.
Does she follow fashion? She is extremely fond of her comfort in clothing, so it is not possible to see her very fancy in her daily life. “But that doesn’t mean I’m not fond of beauty, of course. I dress accordingly, but I can say that I have a more sport-casual style. ”
What does bhe do at home? When bhe is at home, bhe loves to cook and cooks well. “I love to eat and cook. My hand is also very delicious. My brother always says “Come on, go to the Aegean kitchen and do something.” I have a specialty: Ege specialty. I do not make it up, but I do not make rice from rice, I make it from noodles. ”
Which movie was she affected by? Influenced by the movie The Iron Mask.
