Gönül Dağı (Gönül Mountain), which has been a favorite of TRT 1 viewers for 4 seasons, reflects the sincere and impressive stories of Anatolian people, as well as sections from the lives of interesting people living in a small town.
One of the most popular characters of the series is Mihriban. Hande Nur Tekin, the young actress who played the character, had the opportunity to make a name for herself thanks to the highly successful series.
The actress, who reflected his talents on the stage and became known to a wide audience thanks to this project, is pleased with the developments.
Young artist Hande Nur Tekin successfully portrays Mihriban, who marries Kahveci Rıfat and finds happiness by fighting relentlessly against the obstacles she experiences.
Hande Nur Tekin, who stands out with her portrayal of one of Anatolia’s patient, tolerant and sincere women, said the following about the character of Mihriban:
“Mihriban is a young girl who was raised in a loving family with all the subtleties of human emotions, but her world collapsed when she lost them in a traffic accident. Afterwards, she is someone who submits to the tyranny of her relatives and all the difficulties of life, sees this as a test, but does not give up beautifying the places she goes and the things she touches. In my opinion, I am a naive but very hard-working Anatolian woman who does not know what lies or evil is, who does not disrespect even if it hurts, who hopes to find what is pure and real, in short, to find and establish the family she lost.”
The actress, who received messages on social media from the audience that there was a similarity between herself and the character of Mihriban, is very pleased with such comments.
Hande Nur Tekin emphasized that she understood the character of Mihriban well and explained the similarities as follows:
“It makes me very happy to receive such comments from our viewers. When I compare myself with Mihriban, there are actually many points where I can understand her.
For example, I am also a very sensitive person and I think that’s why I’m afraid of hurting someone. When I get hurt, I try to alleviate the negative emotions I experience by finding reasons why that person might do this.
While I can achieve this myself, I can become aggressive with the instinct of protection in cases of injustice against the people I love, but I am also like Mihriban. My empathy is so strong that I can take someone’s troubles and joys and take them home and continue to live.
Also, Mihriban is such an angelic character that if I list more things we have in common, it would be like a praise to Hande. For this reason, let me say that I understand his human aspects and weaknesses from a place where I love and know him. This allows me to internalize it more easily.”
