Family: Circassian origin. Her parents separated when she was very young. Only child. “I was just around the age of primary school when my mother and father separated. I remember those times very clearly. Actually, I must admit, I remember very clearly everything that happened since I was three years old. Since my parents had five siblings, I grew up in a home with many women. We lived in the same house for years, but as I grew up, everyone got married and took turns leaving the house. My mother and I stayed in the house last time. My mother is like my friend anyway. He is 49 years old, there is very little age difference between us. She gave birth to me at the age of 18. My aunts are also very young. That’s why I always felt like I had grown up with five sisters in a house. ”
Childhood years: It was obvious that he would be interested in art when he was a child. He never said “I will be a doctor when I grow up, I will be an engineer”. “I was going to do something totally artistic, I would paint very well, I was very eager to dance. I was one of those children who wanted everything at the same time and lived “what am I going to do, I am not doing anything right now”. In college, I said “Not painting, not dance, music” and went to the conservatory. I was more inclined to instruments, when they put an organ in front of me for the first time, I played a melody. From there, my family, my husband and friend started talking, “There is something in this child.” Nobody expected a normal job from me. One day I would open the door for my mother as a Roman, one day I would be Indian, I never opened it normally. They were joking that “when you become famous, we will give these photos to the press.”
Education life: She graduated from Mersin University Opera Department. She won the Yeditepe University Faculty of Fine Arts Theater Department with a scholarship.
The turning point of his life: She got involved completely in line with coincidences and circumstances. “I graduated from university, I was a sociopath, I am at home. My mother is begging, she comes and goes and brings me a brochure called Stage Powder Theater. I crumple it like a teenager, saying ‘Don’t come on me anymore’. Finally, I couldn’t stand it and left. In a purely amateur spirit. Haldun Dormen supports them. At that time, people knew that I was depressed and said, “There is a meeting, don’t hurt us, go”, and I got involved reluctantly. There was a little quarrel with the director and it didn’t work. But Başay (Okay), who was watching the videos at that time, says “Why didn’t this girl work?” And she wants to work with me. “It’s such a Passing Time” came in the second week of our meeting with Başay. ”
The first step to acting: She started his television adventure with the TV series “Time Goes By”.
With which project did she shine? She drew attention with the character of “Defne Topal”, which he portrayed in the series “Love For Rent”.
Personality traits: Energetic, funny, sympathetic, idealistic, timid.
Mindset: Strong intuition, not very balanced, but when she gets angry and mad, she tries to have fun and distract him in order to calm down. “I’m trying to get more humorous and turn that angry moment into a joke. But I really do not have a balance where the ropes break, I burn and wash everywhere. When I get very sad, I close myself completely. I am never reached for the first few days. But I never allow that on set, my mood immediately changes. Even if I’m sad, I continue where I left off when I come home. My sixth sense is very strong. I have one-to-one dreams. Even if I am not dreaming, if I have an opinion about something in line with my feelings, it will be ninety percent correct. It is very rare that I am wrong. Actually, when it comes to business, I wear everything because I want it to be perfect. ”
The first movie: Şenol Sönmez / Time of Happiness
The look at love: “I don’t believe in love at first sight, I think we fall in love as we know someone. If I am in love, I am very funny, loyal, overprotective. I wake up peacefully in the morning. ”
Her view of life: It used to be more closed, calm, calm but still fun and energetic. It feels different now. “I was a timid and kind person. However, as a person gets older, he really undergoes an evolution. I became free. I am no longer afraid of talking or expressing things. This is the biggest change I have. The world was a terrible place for me. We all have certain fears, of course, but I used to fear everything. In fact, most of them were future and environmental fears; It’s not like being afraid of the dark or loneliness. I think it’s called emotional evolution. The more people stand on their own feet and succeed, the more fearless they become. ”
Her attitude to business life: She is happier when she is told “She does his job very well, She is a good actress, she is a very good person” rather than a beautiful woman. She chooses the offers carefully. “Fame is something I don’t really like. It feels like you didn’t exist before. However, I was already doing this job, nothing changed for me, just the return of the job was different. But I know that; I did my part and the other person got the message. If there is a situation that I cannot do in the incoming offers that will surpass me, I will either talk and solve it or say “I cannot do it, thank you”. When I put my head on the pillow, I can do anything I won’t say ‘what have I done?’ This is what matters to me. I will do anything that does not harm my own soul. Even if there is an offer that no one will say no, I will not accept it if I am not happy and uncomfortable. Nudity forces me. Because my character is not such a character. ”
Career plan: Her goal is not only to be on the popular TV series side of the business, but also to participate in broader areas such as independent films and festival films.
Future Dream: There is also a goal abroad. “Everyone answers this question by saying“ yes I have a goal abroad ”but I know this is not an easy thing. I am aware that it is not a dream to come true by staying in America for 3-4 months. Acting in Turkish TV series and being known abroad is different, doing business directly in the American market is different. Difficult. How nice it would be, but a really difficult journey. ”
Concerns: She is concerned that the stories on the screen are uniform. She thinks that in order to overcome this vicious circle on television, the producer, broadcaster, and actor must put their hands on the stone.
“This is the only reason I can’t do business right now. I see the work I watched 10 years ago in some of the works I read. No change. So now I insist on saying a different story. I am into the fantastic story as long as there is no one more story that we are bored with. Maybe they will tell me that how many years have you been in the industry and bored? But I also speak as an audience. Tired of watching the same things, how can I be in it? After watching Strangers Things, I don’t want to watch anything else, my bar is rising, what should I do? ”
Role model: There is no one for whom he is a role model. She tries to watch everyone, whether she is a man or a woman, and get what she can get in the name of acting. “Taking another actress as a role model seems absurd, especially because I am a actress. The actor is actor, regardless of gender. The other is in imitation. ”
The criterion of attractiveness in men: She finds men attractive with facial features sharp and bony, close eyebrows and eye levels, clear eyes, and not looking blankly. “I understand when he looks blank.”
What’s the weakest point? She has a weakness to be persuaded very quickly. ” It’s about trust. I don’t trust people quickly, but the moment I cross that wall, I am immediately convinced. I can love people very quickly, get into my life, and when necessary, I can be disappointed. ”
What does he do at home? Se likes to be in the kitchen when she is at home. “I cook well. Since I am addicted to dough, pasta-based dishes are among my favorites. ”
The movie she cries the most? Capernaum.
The movie she laughs the most? She laughs a lot at his ‘Deadpool 1’ and ‘Mortal World’ movies.
