Family: Circassian origin. Her family first thought, “Is it a temporary enthusiasm?” For her love of acting, but after seeing her effort, she supported Her in this matter. “When I was in Saint Joseph, I used to stay at school late at night for game rehearsals. When they saw my effort, they said “Do what you love” and always supported me. Parents should make their children independent of them in the healthiest and fastest way. There should only be a love bond. Every child should be given the right to be their own. My family gave me this right. ”
Childhood years: She wanted to be an actress since I was 8-9 years old and she was always doing something about it. In the summer she was going to a course. “Saint Joseph is a school that takes social activity lessons very seriously. The value given to art and sports at school made me understand that there are other things in the life than books and books. Our teachers wanted us to do something about sports, music, theater and painting. People understand the value of this better over time. I went on stage for 3 years in the school’s theater club. The first seeds of how a game was prepared, the rehearsal process, the improvisation were thrown in the school. I already knew what I wanted to do, the feedback from my teachers and friends made me even more encouraged. I never forget, we played ‘Distances’ in the first year. While leaving the library, a child from the upper classes came and congratulated me and made comments about the game. It was my first reaction about a game. It was the first time that I tasted the joy of the audience’s comeback at school. ”
Education life: After graduating from Istanbul Saint Joseph French High School, she studied Theater in Paris Sorbonne University in France. She studied part-time 2 years violin and 1 year piano at Mimar Sinan University State Conservatory. She graduated from Yeditepe University Theater Department.
The first step into acting: In 2004, she had her first acting experience with the series ‘Camdan Shoes’.
Which project did it shine with? It drew attention with the character ‘Pelin’, which it portrayed in the ‘Shoulder to Shoulder’ series.
Personality traits: Sensitive, sensitive, energetic, determined.
Personal development: Accumulating information is the most important issue. “I accumulate knowledge without forgetting the experience and its renewal. Most importantly, I collect people. We got stuck on the labels. But what matters is what’s inside the label. Aren’t you human? that’s all! Since we don’t think like us, we cannot restrict anyone’s right to life. We can’t kill a person because the idea doesn’t match ours. We can be one without the same. Everyone has the right to add their own color to life. Ne What we have accumulated in life is very important ”
Social: She is trying to read books and watch movies accumulated outside of TV series periods. She also watches games she cannot watch, and also enjoys puzzle making.
Thought structure: It falsifies its downright and rebellious sides over time and age. “I was a frank person. With age, I began to restrain and censor myself unwittingly. I file my rebellious mood.- I have rebellion against loveless, intolerant and cowardly people. Don’t be afraid! I am you too, you are me too … We are having the same troubles. ”
How is she on the set? The set focuses on the character, the story, and how the director wants to see her.
Happiness: Her awards are a source of happiness, but she never says ‘I am’. “The feeling that rewards create in me; It used to be magical for me because I saw that every time someone was watching my work and feeling sympathetic to me. This sympathy is the greatest happiness for an actor. Yes, the award shows that I perform well, but I have never approached my job with the feeling that people should admire me. ”
First feature film: Cansel Elçin / Bare Feet on Campus
Her outlook on life: She thinks that living emotions outside will not harm anyone. “The children grow up by advising: ‘Don’t cry, show your weakness, hide your feelings.’ However, it is nice to say your emotion, crying is not a sign of weakness. If we share our emotions with the person in front of us, without experiencing any harm; Emotions such as resentment, envy and grudge disappear. Otherwise, we ourselves are sick, everywhere we touch. What do you need?
Business perspective: She prefers to take part in the works that make her heart. “Acting is an endless exploration of self, people and life. If I raise the prize too much, if I get in the mood of “I was”, I will be crushed under it, I cannot carry that energy. If you say “I am”, the game ends, the discovery ends, the fun of the work ends. However, I want to play games all my life. ”
Career plan: Awards received do not affect role selection. “Before I got the prize, I tried to choose the characters that really beat my heart, now it is. The award is a great motivation, but you cannot make story and project choices with the expectation of reward. The reward will tell you, “We liked what we did, we understood.” say. It is necessary to accept and thank but to continue without being held. ”
Concerns: Cinema is also uncomfortable with the scarcity of women’s stories and the perspective of women. “There is this in every area of society. Whether you are an actress or a white collar … The article entitles “You cannot give birth” to their contracts at workplaces so that women can give birth. So even the world is not suitable for our normal physiological processes. That is why we women try to hide ourselves, femininity and look masculine in their 20s. As for our 30s, we realize, “This is not my fault, if you look at me otherwise, the disease is in your head.” We start touching the female side again. We actually; We have to correct the brains that look differently, not how we sit, we are dressed. ”
What does he do at home? When she is at home she rests and pampers herself.
