Pets: She has cats.
Family: She was born and raised in Istanbul. “The most important piece of advice you’ve learned from my parents is; My mom always says ‘people’s hands should touch each other’. Everyone should help and support everyone in some way, both financially and morally. I never forget this word.”
Education life: She graduated from Private Ahmet Şimsek College. She graduated from Bilkent University, Faculty of Music and Performing Arts, Department of Theater. .
The turning point of her career: After studying sociology in Istanbul for a year, she went to Ankara to study theater at Bilkent University. She worked as a stage technician, actress, assistant and translator in many theater acts. “My story begins perhaps like everyone else’s. One day I was on the stage, I felt something incomparable with any emotion I had ever felt, and I said to myself that I have to do this job for the rest of my life. Nothing less than the excitement, fear, and love I felt would have cleansed me. ‘Afili Aşk’ was the turning point of my career.”
The first step into acting: She started her television adventure in 2017 with the character of “Dedektif Öykü”, which she portrayed in the TV series “AVM Sakini”.
Which project did it shine with? She attracted attention with her character “Nazmiye Özkayalı” in the TV series “Afili Aşk”.
Personal development: She thinks that acting is a process and that development will never run out. She is constantly trying to improve herself. “I am a person who can act with mind in my daily life. If my mind doesn’t work with the motivation I get from my emotions, I can get stuck. That’s why reading, watching, witnessing, actually having conversations with people whose ideas and feelings I trust, but always trying, trying and experimenting is my greatest method. Progress starts with trying, and I’m always trying.”
Personality traits: She cares about appearing as she is. “I am the same as I always have been. Some people like it, some people don’t. I try not to deviate from my own compass. The fact that everyone doesn’t do what their job requires, obviously pushes my tolerance limit. And I don’t like stupidity, who would like that anyway?”
Social: When she takes time for herself, she feeds off discovering new painters, encountering unfamiliar paintings and works that she hasn’t seen before. “I watch a lot of movies, do theater acts, dance and keep quiet with myself.”
Source of happiness: She is happy to act with master actors in the TV series she acts. “It was a great pleasure for me to be able to act with a master actress like Demet Akbağ in Akrep and to have the opportunity to get to know her closely, and to meet Evrim Alasya’s wonderful acting, beautiful energy and heart. Likewise, the set of Afili Ask was like that, the conservatory was like the fifth grade for me, where I could continue to learn and try. It was a loving, free environment where this was made possible by our directors and writers. I learned to be brave from the character of Nazmiye. That it’s always bad to fight, but it’s important to act spontaneously. I think my only similarity with Nazmiye would be to meet people like her in life.”
Her outlook on life: The essentials of her life; sea, cats and music. “In short, I can say that my biggest indispensable thing in life is love. I find myself good at psychology, Human psychology fascinates me, it’s an endless universe on its own. I find my solutions and perspective on this issue different. The world of science also fascinates me. I don’t have numerical intelligence anyway, so maybe I’m more impressed than anyone else because what we’ve been through in the last year and the solutions like the vaccine produced in such a short period of time, affect me immensely. Glad they are!”
Perspective on business life: She states that since she started acting, she realized that she needed to take her job seriously, more than herself. “Best of all, I learn to free myself from social pressures and destructive critical voices as much as possible and to laugh at myself. It’s impossible to offend me with acting. It is a great feeling to be rewarded with ratings and to see that your work is embraced as much as you do, but to act or not to act, that is the most basic issue. For a actress, each new character means a new journey. Looking at life from the perspective of another character seems to me like having trouble. Frankly, it relaxes me. I never forget myself so that I can have a hard time. I remember myself and the role I acted, and I do not feel any strain as I realize that this is my profession. I don’t feel like saying goodbye to the character when the project is over, but I feel bad about the people I worked with, my memories, good conversations, the tea we drink together, the feeling of meeting so often because nothing will ever be the same. But there are some very nice people who stay with me. We are together again, we laugh again, we drink tea, we can only reminisce about our old days because we have a history together, which I think is not something to say goodbye to, but something to be happy about.”
Career plan: Acting plan; always trying more, pushing the limits and always acting. “I always have workshops that I should go to and festivals I should attend. There is much more to be discovered both in Turkey and in the world. Of course I would like to be the lead. It’s hard to take responsibility for a job like this, but it’s exciting. When it comes to being popular, frankly, let the everyday life be up to me.”
Beauty rituals: She has cosmetics that she keeps in her purse both summer and winter. “I was very speechless about this, so now I pay attention. Since I never wear make-up in my daily life, I can say that I am just learning about all skin care rituals. The biggest problem of my skin is moisture and I use products that will keep the moisture in balance, I drink plenty of water. I never take my lip balm from my bag in summer or winter because my lips are so sensitive that they can crack right away.”
Does she follow fashion? She prefers to wear clothes in which she feels as comfortable as possible, anytime and anywhere. “I love buying original pieces from in-between boutiques. I try to be stylish in this comfort. I don’t like fishnet stockings at all, I think I would never use them if it doesn’t require a role, and some colors don’t suit my skin tone at all, I look dead, I avoid those colors.”
Which movie was she influenced by: Tarkovsky, Kieslowski, David Fincher, Nuri Bilge Ceylan, Bong Joon-ho never gets bored watching movies.
Which writers do you like? “Kazuo Ishiguro, Shakespeare, Turgut Uyar, Chekhov, Sabahattin Ali, Nazım Hikmet are writers that I will never get tired of reading.”
