Pets: She has a dog.
Family: His mother and father are retired from Turkish Aeronautical Association. She lost her mother from a brain hemorrhage. Savaş Yurttaş, a theater and cinema artist, is her uncle. She married Mehmet Murat İnal in Antakya in 2003, who is dealing with finance. The couple has a son named Ali. “My family did not play a role in my choice of theater. My mother and father have nothing to do with the industry, but my uncle Savaş is Citizen. We lost himself. We lost my mother the first night I took the stage, she had a cerebral hemorrhage, it was a very difficult time. ”
Educational life: She graduated from Hacettepe University, Ankara State Conservatory, Ballet Department and Bilkent University, Faculty of Music and Performing Arts, Department of Theater.
The turning point in her life: The injury while studying ballet changed the course of her life. “My love for theater started with a bad ending. I had an injury while studying in the ballet department of the conservatory. When it was certain that I could not do ballet, I moved to the theater department with the advice and support of my friends and relatives. Actually, I didn’t have any love for theater until then. My kneecap slipped and I headed for the theater. There were other alternatives, but I chose the theater. I wanted to be on stage, not behind the scenes. ”
The first step to acting: She started her television adventure in 1993 with the series ‘Yazlıkçılar’.
With which project did she shine? She drew attention with the character of “Asiye”, which she portrayed in the series “Sultan Makamı”.
Personality traits: Perfectionist, selective, indecisive, disciplined. “I am someone who gets caught up in details in my private life. When I drink tea or coffee, I can drop for about two minutes. I’m picky. I’m a perfectionist. At the same time I am indecisive, panic and excited. I’m not unnecessarily optimistic either. ”
Mindset: She does not like to be mediatic and lives that way. “Not being mediatic is definitely my choice. I guess I don’t like it. I am happy like this. I am not in the world of lies that revolve on unreal and unreal. I am busy doing my job well. I think I was understood in this way. Let my work be impressive and true enough for me. ”

View of life: Whatever the conditions require, she manages to be happy in it. She lives open to the surprises that life will bring. “For example, I can deal with a plant, insect or animal for five hours. You see, I bought 40 kilos of tomatoes and made them for winter time. These things make me very happy. I am prepared for life’s surprises. When I was in the ballet section of the conservatory, I would say ‘I can’t live without ballet’. But of course it is happening. I love my job, but I can quit one day. Saying “I can’t live without it” is a big saying. Life can bring something like that, why not live it? There’s always something to be happy about. ”
Her view of business life: She just wants to be on the agenda with her works. She knows the realities of the sector and acts accordingly. “We live in Turkey and I know the demands of this sector. I also knew that these would happen in my 40s. When it comes to the series, the expected young, beautiful woman. If we take a look at it, I do not want to be disrespectful to any of them, there is a lot of effort in all of them, but they are repetitive, works that do not contribute to anything. So this generation of players is not written too many roles in Turkey. I also prepared myself for this. There are always other things to do, there are other things to be happy about. Not with a television series, but with a movie; ‘I became more known and known with the Third Page. Maybe it would have been different if I had acted in a long, highly advertised drama. Or maybe it could be something related to being very popular, being in sight. When you are more secluded, you become less permanent in people’s mind, maybe the character you play is more convincing. Sometimes I wonder if I am not playing the game by its rules, but that’s how I play this game. For example, I like to watch a movie with the audience at a time and emotion I want rather than a premiere. ”
Career plan: She usually takes a break after a drama ends. She puts a movie in between. “We find ourselves traveling somewhere abroad, as my husband’s work situation is also available. Thus, I rest both myself and the audience. Meanwhile, I make movies. ”
What has changed in your life when you become a mother? Along with his child, some awareness was created in him. “My son is also training me. I started watching myself like the third eye. Of course, every child is born with their own character, but the child is the mirror of his mother and father. If you are afraid of an event, it is also afraid, if you get angry. He starts to love the cat as you love the dog. I’ve never been so controlled in life. When I was going to say something, I quickly started thinking about the next three steps. And I want to add a parenthesis like this: We open our eyes in the morning and wake up to violence, chaos, lovelessness, I am really suffocated from this situation and I am very afraid for all children. So it’s as if we should put everything aside and just teach kids to love. Everyone’s heart should tremble, when we forgot about it, where we put it, I don’t know. Then he will not be able to pluck the flower, kick or poison the animal, nor inflict violence on women, rape or break the child. ”
