Özlem Türay, actress of the series “Gelsin Hayat Bildiği Gibi” (Come Life as it Knows), one of the phenomenal TV series starring Devrim Özkan, Ertan Saban, Özge Özberk, talked about the unknown face of separation.
In the series, the famous actress played the character of Aygün, a mother who turns a blind eye to the harassment of her daughter by her husband.
Türay, who portrayed a mother who is very fond of her daughter but refrains from showing it, and a woman dependent on her husband’s financial power, started to receive quite a reaction from the public.
The screenwriters decided to put an end to the story of Aygün, who remained silent about the persecution by her daughter’s stepfather and even did not believe her daughter. Özlem Türay said the following about the subject:
“BKM is a production company that takes the pulse of the audience very well, and this work naturally made a lot of noise. A team of master writers and screenwriters like Gani Müjde brought the story and the characters together in the right place.
As in every TV series, every character would have an end in Gelsin Hayat Bildiği Gibi. I started to get very bad reactions about Aygün on social media. They even wrote such things that it wasn’t enough for the character to go to jail, they wanted her to die.
These reactions show that I portrayed the character well and made me happy, but after a while I started to feel sad. The character faced reality with a bit of a bitter ending, and her story ended at the right place at the right time.”
