Family: She comes from an artist family. Her father is the opera singer Can Osman Öztunç. The only child, she married industrialist Umut Kızıltan in 2019.
Childhood years: Acting was a childhood dream. She used to prepare fashion shows at home and shoot music videos during her primary school years. She used to perform for the children of the neighborhood with toy swords, hats and clothes she bought from the market. “When I was 15, I begged my mother to take me to an agency. After struggling for a year, my parents agreed and I signed up with an agency. The first job that came in was a commercial. There, I felt that the front of the camera and the taste of acting were completely different, and I decided to do this job. Then I won the Acting Department of Maltepe University Fine Arts Faculty with a scholarship. In other words, the profession that I wanted and tried to bring to life since I was a child was acting. Of course, there were times when I wanted to model. I still have that taste in my mouth. I wish a person could get to every job she loves at the same time and not have to choose between them.”
Education: Graduated from Maltepe University, Faculty of Fine Arts, Department of Acting.
The first step into acting: She started her television adventure in 2008 as a guest actress in the TV series “Aşk-ı Memnu”.
What project did she shine with? She attracted attention with the character of “Pelin” in the TV series “Fatih Harbiye”.
The turning point of her career: She was also interested in sports, played professional volleyball for a while. She came third in the Miss Turkey Contest she participated in 2008. She started her acting career as a guest actress in the TV series Aşk-ı Memnu in 2008. “I did ballet for four years, then swam for like three years and played licensed volleyball for three years, and then I didn’t do any sports for ten years. I don’t like doing sports, even I hate it, but I do pilates, which I think is necessary for my job. I love listening to all kinds of music, especially French and Greek songs. It was my biggest dream to release an album, but although I am the daughter of an opera singer father, my voice is beautiful and my ear is not good.”
Personality traits: Warm-blooded, sympathetic, conscientious, positive. “I am incredibly conscientious and loyal. I can’t even lie.”
Social: Traveling with her wife is what she enjoys most. “It is a very good experience to see different cultures, go to different countries, and taste local cuisine. In fact, I was amazed by the many places I visited. But there is a special place for me; Maldives. Umut determines our holiday routes, she loves taking photos and this is a hobby for her. I think because she took good shots, the information spread that he was a photographer, but this is just her hobby, she is dealing with industry. We have a lot of fun traveling together, we are a harmonious couple. I have never dreamed of living abroad. I love my country very much, Turkey is an amazing place. Frankly, I wouldn’t want to live anywhere else than here. But if I had to choose a place after Turkey, I would say Barcelona.”
First feature film: Ömer Faruk Yardımcı / Döndüm Ben
Her outlook on life: She also wants to pursue an academic career related to her profession. “I wanted to be an actress since I was little and I put a lot of effort into it. I majored in acting, did back-to-back jobs on television for a long time. It’s inside me now, just because people forget me doesn’t mean I’m not an actress. A actress is an actress of all ages, everywhere, in all circumstances and at all times. It does not change my love for my profession, my effort and my talent. We do a business based on aesthetics. God forbid, if any harm comes to my body, I want to have an alternative way to continue my life, and to pursue an academic career in acting is also among my plans.”
Career plan: Wants to appear more on the big screen. “Cinema is an art that opens up to the world for me. That is why it is most important to have the right project. My dream is always to act in a horror movie. I yearn for this, but unfortunately it is shot like a comedy in Turkey. It’s incredible against my dreams. In this case, I call it the right time, the right job and luck. Playing comedy also makes me feel incredibly happy, I am energetic and my creativity comes out. Nurturing positive emotions also feels good for the audience. When I go out on the street and meet people, they look at me with a smile. But even after doing comedy for a long time, I miss the drama. I feed on drama, I have fun in comedy and I get liberated. Both are very enjoyable. My biggest ideal for my profession is nothing more than to be a very good actor. Then all the doors in your profession are wide open and it takes you to bigger places than you can target.
Future Dream: “I don’t have big dreams. But I’m doing better than I expected. My only goal was to graduate from college and become a good actor. I did this as a first step. My current goal is to become a very good player.”
Who she admires: A fan of Michael Haneke, she would love to be in one of her movies.
Relationship with nature: Sea lover usually likes to sit and spend time in places where she can get the throat air.
