Family: Born and raised in Sinop, her family lives in Sinop, she has a brother. Although she decided to become an actress at a very young age, she won another department at the university with the guidance of her family. “I passionately wanted to be an actor during my growth adventure in Sinop. I realize later that everything was because I wanted to be. The university was simply family pressure for me. At the age of 17, I had to enter a university to move to Istanbul. Education is very precious and important to me, but unfortunately, I am not good at school with the concept. I entered the first episode I found for my family and stayed for 1 week and quit. Series etc. things started to happen and I got into business life. ”
Childhood years: She wanted to be an actress from a very young age. She even wrote a letter to the future Beste about this when she was five years old. “I would write the same now as what I wrote when I was five years old. Because that letter changed my life. He wrote: ‘I talked to my uncle today, he said that as I grow older my dreams will get smaller. That’s why I am writing this letter to you, always remember me as you read it, and never let your dreams get smaller. I think this letter has always protected me. Acting has been something I’ve wanted since the age of five. Actually, I like singing and dancing. I thought that I would be an actor, I would sing and dance. It was such a big passion that I was walking around the house saying ‘I will become an actor, father’. There were 100 Hollywood words a day. I wasn’t thinking of anything else. ”
Education life: She left after studying at Haliç University Fashion Design department for a while. She graduated from Bilgi University Stage and Performing Arts Department.
First step into acting: She started her television adventure with the character “Hazal”, which he played in the Çıplak Gerçek (Naked Truth) series in 2012.
With which project did she shine? She drew attention with the character “Açelya” in the “Pretty Little Liars” series.
Personality traits: She is not a perfectionist, she likes to be like herself. Sh has a structure that tries to overcome her limits and does not hesitate to force herself for this cause. “I love people, I prefer to trust. My rebellious side is actually an attitude that I take to protect myself against prejudices while going my own way. On the one hand, I am a very sensitive person. I am emotional and fragile. Maybe I brought my rebellious side to the forefront because I was too fragile. But I can say this; no matter how upset I get, I never choose to snub, step back. I defend my right to the end. ”
Personal development: She attaches great importance to personal development and constantly strives to add new things to herself. “I sang many times in the TV series I played. I haven’t received any training in this subject yet, but I love learning new things about dance all the time. I attended modern dance, Latin dance, hiphop, high heels and burlesque courses. My goal is also to learn flamenco. I’m a little like a honey bee; I like being able to get a piece of everything. ”
Mindset: She wants to feel powerful inside. Powerfulness. not something sought out in the image; I think there must be something inside, at the bottom that is slowly developing. Sometimes I can see that many women make a promise to suffer and be strong, becoming weaker people with ambition and anger. Power does not mean to be masculine, not to move away from your own nature and emotionality, never to be offended by love. It is the greatest power to hold on to your own nature, stand behind yourself and trust the person you are despite all the tests you give. It is necessary to get the messages right. If you are hurt by your sentimentality, maybe what you need to reduce is not your sentimentality but your expectations. People can be very prone to straight thinking. We kill our pure vision, because we forget. Especially for a woman, clarity is a great power. That’s why I say stay in your nature. Flexibly. Because a solid glass glass breaks where it first falls. Change, development, step taken into the unknown, child spirit, one’s love for oneself. In short, these are the greatest strengths. ”
What kind of person is she on set? She’s calmer on set. She cannot stay still for a second when she is next to people she feels comfortable with. She gets very excited when she starts a new project. I am dying of excitement during the first shooting days of projects. The process of creating the character is very, very exciting. Generally, I’m more excited about the preparation processes than the results. While preparing for the role I play, I try to empathize and understand the character. I dream of your past and your future. I try to imagine how he thinks, how he dreams, the traumas he has experienced in the past; I mean, I humanize the character. As the pieces are added together, they turn into flesh and bone. And once you see it is you. ”
A memory she could not forget: “In one scene we had to go into a dirty lake. We were three people and we had bikinis on. Before we got out of the water, we started to itch like crazy. It became such that I was scratching my skin like tearing it. We went to the emergency room of the hospital. By the way, it was not possible to even get dressed, we entered the hospital in bikinis. All three of us were crying from itching. We had to get scabies shot. The most tragicomic part was that the old aunts in the hospital looked at us and shouted, “Don’t approach them, these are fleas.”
The source of happiness: She is happy with the attention of her fans. “Fame means nothing to me. Neither good nor bad. I got used to it. I got an audience with the first ‘Naked Truth’ drama. Then it got a little bigger, a little bigger. That’s why there was no situation where I would be shocked. But I like it when small children want to take pictures on the street.
First motion picture: Orhan Eskiköy / Taş
Her look at love: “Love is a very fruitful feeling for me. No matter how my experiences develop, I do not make a ridiculous attempt to resent love. Love improves my quality of life and productivity. I don’t really believe in addiction. Commitment is a very deep feeling. So when I feel this, I first thank my heart for not letting me down (and still so innocently), for connecting with wisdom. Then I leave it going. It doesn’t necessarily have to be a relationship, a man who is always with me. It is enough for me to carry this feeling. If we ask something concrete, life is already creating what it should be for you. I think this way for bilateral relations. Apart from that, I started to feel love so much now. Quality time spent with my dog, my job, my friends. An action I am in without love does not satisfy me. Love is the most beautiful thing in life.
Her view of life: She believes that there is no single truth or light in life and that one should have the courage to follow her experiences.
Perspective on business life: She wants to be freer, more uncensored in her profession and to be involved in non-didactic jobs. “I love what I do. My goal is to cross my limits, to see how far I can go. I think the turning point in my career has not happened yet. On the one hand, I have progressed very slowly, which feels safe. But I can’t wait to be on the other hand. In the meantime, I think the turning point of the actor emerges as something changes inside, independent of external factors. I have to work for acting not only when I am creating the characters, but also when I am not working. I always take care to be an honest and open-hearted person with myself. Likewise, to be child-spirited and inquisitive. Consider how much a child can be caught in playing house. All these features work well in acting, too. Today, the more we live and believe, the better an acting style is adopted, rather than the exaggerated, unbelievably pronounced acting style. I think this is also very exciting. We learn to stay in the moment while playing. You really have that desire to be everything that came when I was a kid, so my dream comes true because we really live the character. Of course, I am not talking about a schizophrenic situation. It would be the opposite of staying in the moment. ”
Career plan: There is no role that she says never play, Too many roles on her mind. “What matters to me is the character’s depth, inner world and contradictions. I will never say, “I’m fine here.” I’ll go to the end for the better. There are very favorite players in Turkey. I like Funda Eryiğit and Saadet Işıl Aksoy very much. I would like to play with them. It would be great to work with experienced actors. ”
Future Dream: There is a Hollywood dream. “America is not my dream of intention. So if it doesn’t happen, it’s not the end for me, I am very happy to be acting here. I think like this; There are many good talented actors who can exist in the USA, but here people cannot afford to start from scratch because they feel safe and secure. Actually, many actors can take part in world cinema if they show that courage. Musically I would love to adapt the Moulin Rouge and of course be the lead role. As a series, I can say The Sinners. One of my biggest dreams is to portray a dancer or a warrior woman. ”
How does she keep her shape? Sport pays attention to her lifestyle and her nutrition. She did boxing for a period. “I did boxing for a long time and with great pleasure. I also do reformer pilates. I jump rope in different ways in between and I like it very much. I also try to trekking whenever I find the opportunity. I pay a lot of attention to my diet. I never consume white flour and rice, I have a limited amount of dairy products in my diet. I prefer sourdough bread. I use healthy oils. I try to eat various vegetables at every meal. Also, I keep my carbohydrate and protein intake in balance. ”
Who does she admire? She is inspired by the acting of Marion Cotillard, Cate Blanchett and Charlize Theron.
The criterion of attractiveness in men: Insensitivity, not paying attention to personal cleanliness, being a symptom of addiction and weakness, not loving himself, being closed to change and development, trying to behave as if he knows what he does not know are the features that are repulsive for a man. ”
Relationship with nature: She is one of those who prefer nature vacation instead of sea. The most likes to go places in Turkey Fethiye. “I am from Sinop and the nature of that place is also very beautiful. We walked the Lycian Way in Fethiye with my father. We discovered mystical places on the top of the mountains, passed through incredibly beautiful regions. Therefore, Fethiye’s place is always different for me. ”
Hobby: Sh loves to sing, she also dances and paints.
What is her regular maintenance ritual? When it comes to make-up, she likes to experiment with bold trends. She regularly uses peeling and moisturizer. In addition, she takes care to drink plenty of water to protect her skin’s health. ”
What does she do at home? For her, a good day should be a day before she sleeps well and feels light and well fed. She must be side by side with her friends, whom she can fool around and who have not lost her child soul, and she must be looking for a new experience. “If I learn new things and feel emotions other than monotony, I am having a great day.”
