Her mother is interested in real estate business. “Two years ago, when my grandfather passed away, I had a huge breaking point. Because we were a girl growing up without a father, we were with my mother and we didn’t have a man on our heads. My support was my grandfather. Some times even my grandfather combed my hair, prepared breakfast for me, took me to school. As a man, a brother, a father, he was walking a lot, standing behind me, protecting and looking up. After his death, I both matured and started to make more important and serious decisions in my life. ”
Childhood years: She had been dreaming of being an actor since her childhood. She would write scripts and make costumes for herself at home, then she would enact them and record them on her mother’s phone. She started working from a young age to support her mother. “It’s been a dream for me since childhood. I read an article that my primary school friends wrote about what they thought about me; They said a humorous and imitating girl for me. I have been all my life. When I was little I was creating characters, writing scripts and playing and playing two different characters. But frankly, I wasn’t dreaming of doing so much work in such a short time. ” My mother never reflected the financial difficulties we experienced, but I was aware of everything. We lived in Akçay for a while. We were in Antalya for a long time. I started working at the age of 13 to support her and provide financial assistance to the house. ”
Education life: She continues her education at Eskişehir Anadolu University.
The turning point of her life: The flow of her life changed when her mother saw and applied a ‘casting’ post by Özcan Deniz on social media. “In my first year when I started university in Eskişehir, I contacted my mother Özcan Deniz and it was about my desire to be an actor. She loved it, she would follow his work. If I did not want it, she would never do such a thing, it was my passion, my mother also supported me. At that time, the selection of the movie “Second Chance” was held. Until that day, I came to Istanbul for audition. But since I seemed a little small, I wasn’t getting to the feminine roles that I wanted. I went to the audition of ‘Second Chance’, it was a role for me and it happened. I definitely believe in fate, I think nothing is a coincidence. I remember the first day very well. I set off from Eskişehir, my mother Akçay and we were in Istanbul at 05.00 in the morning. I took the trial shot at noon and returned to Eskişehir. Two days later, I was recalled and selected for the movie ‘Second Chance’. Then came the feature film “Bad Boy” and the series “Mrs. Fazilet and Her Daughters”.
First step to acting: It was the first time she came across the camera with the movie named ‘Second Chance’.
Which project did it shine with? It drew attention with the character ‘Ece Çamkıran’, which she portrayed in the series ‘Mrs. Fazilet and Her Daughters’.
Personality traits: An emotional person, although it does not reflect much outside. Due to her living conditions, she had to mature at a young age. “I knew how to stand with my shoulders upright, with my feet up. Hand baby rose baby could not be raised. I matured at a young age. Maybe this was the reason for my point. I have the ambition, determination and enthusiasm of the dreams that I could not achieve in the past. My soul is old, I am mature, maybe the reason is what I lived in the past. ”
Social: It has a calm structure, it does not like night life. “I like spending time in quiet places where we can hear each other instead of going to nightclubs with my friends.”
Mindset: It seems that being natural and plain always makes a person look beautiful. “The moments when I feel the best are the moments that I trust most. For this trust, of course, many small and big factors come into play. My belief in the work I do, my communication with the teams I work with, I feel fit when starting the day. And like every woman, if I start the day by feeling beautiful from the first moment of the day; I feel happy if my hair, makeup, clothes make me feel good. ”
How is someone on the set? Relaxing and feeding with music. “If the intensity of the scene I’m going to play is too high, for example, I listen to emotional songs before. If it’s fun, I wake up with that mode in the morning and listen to the music. I can say that music exists in all areas of my life. Apart from that, I always have a memoir. I write what I think, those that affected me that day. It makes me very comfortable. ”
The source of happiness: The relationship with her mother is the biggest source of happiness. “We are like two close friends with my mother. She is my confidant who knows everything. I love walking with my mother and playing a volleyball game as a hobby when we go to Antalya. With my mom, I make an assessment of the day every evening. Family is to get ideas and share for me. I share everything with both my notebook and my mother. Her positive comments about the series also motivates me very much. ”

Person to admire: Eddie Redmayne is an example for herself as acting. “Smart, high-powered and intellectuals are people who will always be an example for me.”
Definition of love: Love is not at the center of your life. “I am focused on my career, I do not want my head to be distracted. But love is peace, no matter what. They say “Don’t fall in love, you will be very sad” or something, and I think it will be peaceful and freedom.
Her outlook on life: Being famous didn’t change anything in her life, she still thinks it’s the same. “I just think people are getting more respect for you. Of course, you get used to changing people’s reactions but sometimes I say “Wow”. I sit, look outside and evaluate myself. It is a good thing that I have come here, I am happy because I am in this position. I always dreamed. It was no surprise. It was my goal and I felt I was going to reach it. I would have heard a lot from my environment, but I had a feeling and a belief that I would come to this point. I also believe it will be better. ”
Business perspective: She believes that the important thing is to be able to act after the age of 40-50. “It is a goal for me to constantly improve myself, to keep my goals high, to be more equipped. I want to do something in other branches of art by being open to innovations and renewing myself. ”
Career plan: She always tries to choose scenarios that excite her and the jobs that will improve her acting. She wants to take part in an action project, exist in theater and cinema projects, and grow old by acting. “Beauty alone doesn’t mean anything. The right project and discipline was more effective in my career. I think it may have been different when they all came together. It’s all one. ”
