Birce Akalay, who has performed very well with the TV series Kuş Uçuşu (Bird Flight) and Mezarlık (Cemetery), recently broadcast on Netflix, did not come to this point easily. The famous actress, who took ballet training but had to say goodbye to her injury, started acting because of her desire to at least stay on the stage by doing theater.
Expressing that she was very disappointed in her first TV series in an interview with Hürriyet newspaper, and that this was actually a very positive situation for her own development, the actress can see that it was a good decision to continue her education after a few unsuccessful attempts.
The actress said, “I always say, if those things had taken off and I had gotten somewhere fast, maybe I would have had some indigestion problems at that age. Thus, I could have learned much later that the journey of self-development would continue until death.”
In fact, with these words, Birce Akalay shows that she has learned great lessons from the past and the events she has experienced at the point of reading life, and that she continues her life journey in this way.
Many viewers got to know the name of Birce Akalay with the character of Havva in the TV series Yer Gök Aşk. We learn from the interview that at first she was not considered for the role of Havva, but for the role of the other sister. But Birce Akalay wanted the role of Havva so much that her wish came true after the audition shoots.
The TV series that made Birce Akalay famous was Yer Gök Aşk.
Yer Gök Aşk series, which met with the audience on the Fox TV screen in 2010, remained on the screen for 122 episodes. On May 27, 2013, he said goodbye to the final episode.
According to many TV series fans, she didn’t actually play the character of Havva, she almost lived it and gave this feeling to those on the screen. This is why Birce Akalay can never forget the Yer Gök Aşk TV series.
For the actress, this series became one of the turning points in her life. Birce Akalay also accepts this and says:
“My other turning point is the TV series “Yer Gök Aşk”, where I returned to television. I felt ready now and the work itself was so gripping that I longed to be in it. In our first meeting with Nermin Eroğlu, she said that they were actually considering me for the role of the other sister. However, I fell in love with the role of Havva so much that I said I wanted to give an audition to both roles and that’s how I got Havva. There would be a huge void in my career without Havva.”
Birce Akalay was also very influential in Kanal D’s TV series Siyah Beyaz Aşk (Black White Love). Starring with İbrahim Çelikkol, the actress presented her fans with a character presentation that is as effective as Havva in Yer Gök Aşk. The character of Aslı Çınar is still on the minds of the fans of the Siyah Beyaz Aşk series.
Recently, the actress, whom we watched with the characters of Lale in the TV series Kuş Uçuşu (Bird Flight) and Önem in the TV series Mezarlık (Cemetery), had the opportunity to make her name known abroad, thanks to digital projects.
The actress, who has accomplished very successful works in both digital series, states that these two projects are the last turning point in her life.
Birce Akalay fans are also waiting for the new seasons of these two series. Both Kuş Uçuşu and Mezarlık achieved great viewing rates on Netflix, and a suitable environment was created for the shooting of new seasons. Now the decision from Netflix is awaited.
