Family: The daughter of an artist father. Her father is the Izmir Opera dramatist and the first artistic director of the Karşıyaka Municipality Opera Stage. Her mother is a trainer and banker. Both are currently retired. “I think I am incredibly lucky to be from Karşıyaka. If I was born again, I would like to be born in Karşıyaka again. Karşıyaka gives people happiness, gives freedom, self-confidence, but it is difficult. Be careful, a Karşıyaka citizen, it seems that something is really in its air.
Childhood years: She grew up with art since her childhood. She took piano lessons in elementary school. All her childhood passed in classical concerts, festivals, opera and theaters. “Besides, my family wanted me to do tennis to keep my body calm and I signed up for Karşıyaka Tennis Club. I played tennis for 10 years and was promoted to the National Team. But I had to be an actress in my heart. When I told this to my father, he was so happy that I cannot tell you his facial expression. 16 years old. I took a role in the movie ‘Ateşin Düştüğü Yer’. During my education, I took on the role of Seher in the ‘Lost City’ series. ”
Education life: She graduated from Beykent University Acting Department.
The turning point of her life: The fact that he sent her photo for the movie ‘Ateşin Düştüğü Yer’ changed the course of her life. “There was a report of İsmail Güneş in the Hürriyet newspaper. Ismail was saying, “I can’t find the actor I am looking for for my new movie.” After reading the news, I sent him my photo. But acting was not something I decided at that time, I have wanted this since I was little. Then İsmail Güneş included me in the film. I was in high school then, then I studied acting. ”
The first step to acting: She first appeared in front of the cameras in 2012 with the movie “Ateşin Düştüğü Yer”.
With which project did she shine? He drew attention with the character “Seher”, which she portrayed in the “Lost City” series.
Personality traits: Confident, conscientious, devoted to freedom, friendly. “My eyes laugh, I am a person who always sees the full side of the glass. If I’m negative, I will think like I’m shooting. ”
Mindset: Someone who fulfills her childhood dreams and tries to be an expert in this field. “Unfortunately, in our country, the concept of” new “is used empty-handed. Knowledge and culture cannot become commodities. However, if information becomes widespread and circulates in society, the performing arts, music, cinema and TV series will also be affected. This influence will reflect on us and lead us to what is right. Therefore, I can say that the closer I get to my dreams, the farther I am. In Turkey we catch a thriving educational and cultural moment, and I will make all my dreams are like.
What kind of person is she on set? She feels lucky about the set environments she has been in so far. “I’ve worked with great people on all my sets. “Stolen Life” was also enjoyable for me; Sometimes there were scenes we couldn’t get rid of laughing. The hard part is, it may be easy for us if we play comedy, but we have to suppress our laughter because we are doing drama; this is so hard. I laugh a lot, especially with my set friends. ”
First feature film: İsmail Güneş /Ateşin Düştüğü Yer
The look at love: Love is something to be pursued. This is the only thing that makes many emotions alive. Love and logic are so perverse, so you say ‘when I fall in love I risk everything’. I’m not a snobbish person when it comes to relationships. If there is love, I surrender. ”
Her view of life: She thinks that if she truly believes in the heart, there is nothing she cannot do. “I always tell myself I am very strong and courageous and everyone around me says the same thing. In the early days I always dreamed. But after entering this sector, I am living the moment with sure steps. Because it doesn’t happen when you constantly dream. Sometimes I also dreamed of unrealistic dreams. Then I decided to act by considering the near future. I will move forward by living the moment, taking firm steps and making logical decisions. There is inherent rejection, my work will not work, but I will not collapse. ”
Her view of business life: There was nothing in her dream but to be an actress and she loves her job very much. She thinks that not every role is difficult, the smaller one is not the big one. “Yıldırım Önal, one of our great actors, was chosen as the actor of the year for his 1.5-minute role about fifty years ago. Currently, I want to play characters that will give me experience. The roles that have an inner contradiction and that emphasize the contradiction between bad and good at the same time challenge everyone, but the effort to overcome is important for me. In the future years, that is, when I come to the experience where I can emphasize this contradiction in my middle age, I will probably enjoy my job more. I love watching myself; I think this should also be done. Because even if we know clearly what we are doing in front of the camera, we may be doing the wrong move without realizing it. We can only understand this when we watch it on TV. I love watching myself. If I don’t have a set or an important program, I watch the series I play every time. ”
Career plan: She will try to do whatever she has to do in the name of acting until the end of her life. “I want to remain an actor to the extent that God has given me. The acting market looks very glamorous. It is necessary to ask this very sincerely and to make serious effort. I love drama very much, I associate myself more with drama, but of course everything is a script, there is such a script that I love it very much, I also take part in comedy. I hear the saying “You would be very sweet in romantic comedies”.
Dream of the Future: “If my life was a movie, I would see myself in the beginning of the movie because there are many things I want to do and successes I want to achieve in this profession. I’ve had a good track record on this road so far, but there is still a long time for the movie to finish. As people grow up, they want to take a little more confident steps and it is better to do so. That’s why I do not dream much about the future, but the near future. Water flows, finds its way. In my opinion, getting to the last point of the right thing is my biggest goal! The process will determine this, of course. ”
TV series? Cinema? She does the show to make money, but with great fun and joy. “It is very important to have good relationships there. My job is motivation, I shouldn’t do anything to lower it. Cinema has a different taste. It feels like “I’m acting now.”
Concerns: Under the name of acting, she finds it worrying to have people after fame, fame, money. “It’s not such an easy industry. They think everyone gets incredible money per episode. You can gradually rise in this business. It is a very risky business. These are the consequences of many people being able to act without doing anything. People see it and say, “Why shouldn’t I be too?” I have very talented, educated but unemployed friends. I even ran into someone recently and he said ‘I started to work as a waitress’. This is someone who plays Hamlet. These names should be made clear, not those who are worried about fame. Those who blindly want to be actors are usually women. It’s like an escape point. This is the motivation to get out of his life, the environment he lives in, to tear it off. ”
What does she recommend to those who want to be actors? “All the friends who enter acting with the desire to be known in the society and earn money will soon realize that they are on the wrong path, and they do. Colorful worlds, beautiful worlds, those who choose to live comfortably should not choose the acting profession. Because acting is something that systematically exists in humans. Talent, education, observation and by kneading them, getting into the character you give life to. This does not happen with “I do it like this, too.” It’s acting to make the like come true. There are a lot of words to say about it actually. I recommend that the friends who will participate in our profession analyze the acting as realistic, not imaginary. Although I studied acting, I suffered a lot of these troubles, but since my lifestyle is acting, I overcame them. Our industry is very brutal. He says, “You go, the other will come.” This is not wrong at first sight. It is necessary to be equipped and prepared for this. My suggestion to those who really aim to be actors; Reading a lot, working hard, watching a lot of movies, observing, being in touch with society and most importantly, looking positively on life no matter what.
Bedside books? Anton Chekhov and Shakespeare indispensable writers “I turn around and read. I have learned a lot from these two authors, both in terms of personality analysis and what life is. In Turkish literature, Oğuz Atay’s novel, “Tutunamayanlar”, has a special place. ”
What does she spend money on? “The thing that is spent the most in Istanbul is rent. We are gamers, we have to be well-groomed. I am a person who likes to be well-groomed. These are all things that require money. The money is coming and I don’t understand where it’s going. ”
