Successful actor Mesut Akusta was the guest of Ceyda Düvenci in Bam Başka Sohbetler, which is broadcast every weekday on NTV. The master actor told Ceyda Düvenci for the first time:
“I didn’t have a school life. My teacher punched me in the head.”
Mesut Akusta explained his experiences during his childhood, when he had a brain hemorrhage, with the following words:
“When we finished primary school, we moved to Afyon, my mother’s hometown. When my father passed away, we moved from Afyon to Ankara. I started secondary school in Afyon. I had no school life, I had a brain hemorrhage when I was in secondary school; It was caused by our teacher punching me in the head… I first fall into a coma at school, they take me to the hospital, I seem fine, then I fall into a coma again at midnight. Doctors say, ‘There is nothing we can do here, you have to take me to Ankara’… They take me to Hacettepe University Hospital, Department of Brain Surgery, where I receive treatment…
I had to quit football, I couldn’t do anything, because I can’t get a blow to my brain for the rest of my life… Even when I shave at the barbershop, I watch my head, it’s a legacy of those years… My school years ended there… After moving to Ankara, I did a lot of work…”
