I’m asking your ideas. ” Following the death of their grandparents Sultan Türkmen and their grandparents Ahmet Türkmen, they opened the ‘Sultanahmet Girls and Boys Dormitory’ with their brother Esin Türkmen in their memory.
Childhood years: “I have been a popular person in every period of my life, at school, in the neighborhood … I’m not saying this in a good way. I was a striking character, I was naughty, I was pointed … Even this situation turned me into a spoiled child. Now I see women and men who are suddenly famous in their 30s, I feel very sorry. He is spoiled when he is young and he suits him but it doesn’t happen when he grows up. ”
Educational life: She graduated from Haliç University Theater Department.
The turning point of her life: She attended the Best Model contest the year she graduated from high school. She could not get a degree in this competition, but she met Osman Sınav. She came from Izmir to Istanbul and started playing in the series “Bread Boat”.
The first step into acting: She started her television adventure in 2002 with the production of “Bread Boat”.
With which project did it shine? Which started to be published in 2008, has attracted attention with the role of ‘Elif Gezici’ in the ‘Little Women’ series, starring Özge Borak, Hande Soral, Fulya Zenginer, Elit İşcan, Selin Ilgar and Kıvanç Kasabalı.
Personality traits: She gives importance to friendship, sincerity and honesty in life. Struggling, for simplicity, free spirits. “I want to discover everywhere and everything without stopping. Even if there is a music group in a bar, it does not matter in Mardin. Hop on my head, also from Thailand
I can get. I find new friends, I love it. ”
Personal development: In 2009, she left the “Little Women” series to go to America to learn languages. She went to Los Angeles and studied English for a year.
Social: Does not diet but does not drink cola, fast food and dessert. She set up a website named applebox.com.tr to guide those who want to be directors and actors. “I do everything because I don’t know what to do when I’m not acting. I write a script and I’m interested in the dormitory that we established with my brother. ”
Mindset: She set up a business to do acting without financial anxiety. “I never give 3-5 thousand TL on a shoe. I do not have a car, I use public transportation. The key word of my life is simplicity. When I kept my standards to a certain extent, I did not have financial concerns. ”
Source of happiness: Dancing, listening to music, spending time at home and playing games with friends.
First feature film: Tayfun Güneyer / Keloğlan Against Karaprens (2006)
Admired by: Director Fatih Akın
Definition of love: “I am not very arabesque. I live my pain, I feel sorry, I feel sorry, then I consume. There is no case of ‘I am far from this pain, I am fed from this pain’. If it’s over, it’s over. I also believe in fate. I struggle to the end in my draws, so I don’t question myself when it’s over. I am a shame, I am not wrong. But if it doesn’t, it doesn’t. ”
Life attitude: “I was 17 years old, I came to Istanbul. I was playing a role in the Bread Boat. All of Turkey was followed by a knee. I remember distributing signed photos. Now what a very embarrassing thing for me, what ego was it? It was very interesting times. I loved being known, getting attention on the street … Then I realized that this was not a pleasant thing for me. These did not feed my soul, they did not satisfy me. If you ask now, you will say, “You will be making movies, you will do great things, but nobody will know you, do you want it?” Now I am embarrassed by this situation. ”
Her view of business life: “I had a lot of opportunities to understand how unnecessary fame is, and being famous is something that comes with this business. When it becomes too late to become famous, it can harm the character. I think a disease wants to be famous, to be seen, to be liked and to be the focus of those who are caught. Financially, standards are changing, weaknesses begin to emerge so that it does not shake. Moral values start to stretch in friendship relations. Because people want to be useful for people. ”
Career plan: She wants to star in the comedy movie.
Dream of the Future: Taking part in a movie of Fatih Akın … “I would love to be part of a movie that will obviously be beautiful and classic. It would be great to see one of the scripts I wrote come to life! ”
Concerns: Like the split grass of the industry. Sometimes she thinks I’m not created for this industry. She can neither establish a friendship relationship, nor a relationship with a person in the industry, nor have a conversation with a co-actor. “I am a theater graduate, I cannot enter the theater environment at all. It gets hard. Perhaps what needs to be done is to be a little more political. This is the reason for this job! There are directors with ugly rhetoric, and producers who have done injustice, which we all hear about being problematic in the industry. We talk about these amongst us, but I see that the people I talked to go to work with those names two months later. There’s a problem here. It is business, I cannot see it as trade. If we call professionalism to stretch moral values, this poses a problem for me. When I see people doing this, I take it out of my life, there are so many people out of my life! But on the other hand, this is not how it works. ”
Do they have regrets? “I did not have a magical life, I generally chose to be secret, but for a while I had my relationship in mind and talked about it. I wish I hadn’t done it, it’s not true. ”
The moment she could not forget in the movie set: “We worked very pleasantly on the set of the Search Far Away movie, it was always fun. One day, during the shooting, the rain came down and we had to shoot. It was an unfortunate moment for us, but there was nothing to do and we started dancing like children in the rain. ”
The Project She Cannot Forget: She feels very lucky to be working on the “Bread Boat”.
Who does she admire? Türkan Şoray …
What does she spend on? She lives modestly, not luxury spending or brand obsessive. She travels when she gets the opportunity, sees different places.
