Family: She was born and raised in Ankara. Her father’s side is from Elazig. Only child. “My father is a tradesman in Tunalı and still continues. My mother is a housewife. But she started working after her divorce with my father. They broke up when I was 11 years old. I lived with my mother. But I was also seeing my father.”
Childhood years: Her parents’ separation at a young age affected her life. “I believed that I was not very affected by some unpleasantness and that I was a mature child. But I realized that it’s not actually like that. I had a nuclear family deficiency. I would like to grow up in a house where undivorced parents lived in harmony.”
Education life: After completing her secondary and high school education at Ankara Private Tevfik Fikret High School, she entered the Department of French Translation and Interpretation of Istanbul University, but dropped out when she started acting.
The turning point of her life: Being the winner of the Miss Turkey beauty pageant she participated in 2005 changed the course of her life. She then represented Turkey in the Miss World pageant and received the Best National Costume Award. “Being proprietary beauty has never been a big deal for me. I was chosen from among the girls who participated in the competition that year, but there could be more beautiful girls than me who did not participate in the competition. That’s why this situation did not change my being Hande and my existence much. Beauty pageants used to be enjoyed at home. It was watched by us too, and that’s how my childhood passed. In my childhood, I was a thin, tall and pretty girl. And from a young age, those around me always said, ‘You should join’. I started modeling and that competition was not a strange world. Of course, it was also a nice step.”
First step into acting: Her television adventure began in 2006 with the character of Nazlı, which she portrayed in the TV series “Adak”.
What project did she shine with? She attracted attention with the character of “Vahide” in the TV series “Elveda Rumeli”.
Personality traits: Emotional, sincere, values her loved ones very much. “In my 20s, I stayed away from the things that made me unhappy and hurt me. Thinking about myself might be called selfish, but I live my own life and I knew then that I wouldn’t be stuck in something I didn’t feel good about. In my 30s, I may have learned to try to trust people and be more altruistic. I think more sensitively about my loved ones. This is self-sacrifice, not oppressing or making people use it. Everyone is valuable in their own way. There are things in life that we are happy with and that we want to do. It is very nice to want to do these things with someone, but you should not give up on yourself all the time. First we need to love ourselves and know our worth. When you look at it like this, you can feel confident and peaceful. If everyone loves herself, we will be a happier society.”
Mindset: She believes that beauty is about energy being liked and admired. “I don’t think beauty is related to height, body, someone you find something unattractive, even if they are beautiful in the world, may not mean anything to you. But a friend of mine whose disposition I like may well look beautiful to me.”
Her view of love: “Love is my sine qua non. At a young age, I used to look at love melancholy, but as I get older and experience life, positive things come to mind right now. I am not the old melancholic Hande about love. I prefer to live the beautiful side of love rather than the painful and impossible side, and now I live it. I used to be impulsive, I think I’m more consistent as I get older.”
First feature film: Mahsun Kırmızıgül / Güneşi Gördüm
Her outlook on life: She tries to have a positive outlook on life. “I’ve been discovering myself in recent years. I face my shortcomings, weaknesses or mistakes and now I accept them. I used to be an anxious person. While you see everything from the negative side and live with anxiety as if it will be bad, you unconsciously lower the energy of those around you. I started rasping it. And they find me cold from the outside. In fact, on the contrary, I am friendly and agreeable. I’m working on it now. As you get older, your awareness increases and your perspective on life changes. You’re digging into things more. I have this difference myself, but that’s how it should be. It is not possible for us to always be the same. Of course, your characteristics and structure do not change, but there are situations where you can face and accept yourself. A person is determined to file her bad sides. You can be more reckless when you are younger. You don’t think about the outcome. As you get older, you fear everything. I used to drive faster. I am nervous right now.”
Her outlook on business: She likes to describe herself first as an actress and then as a singer. In 2020, she released her first single album called “I Can’t Forget”. “Acting, modeling and music were things that had been in me from time to time since childhood. My family is also a music lover. My grandfather is one of the old saz masters. I was in the TRT Turkish Classical Music Children’s Choir for four years in primary school. Then I participated in a program called ‘I Need to Sing’. The audience liked my performances. After that program, there was always a demand for me to sing for more than 10 years. I sang in project albums, theater acts, and serials I acted. I did live stage performances. And I released the first song. I have no Arabesque attitude, no soul; I don’t live my life in arabesque either, but I enjoy listening to those melodies when appropriate. For years, I have been a character who likes to sing arabesque. I want to continue on this path. In fact, what I dream of is to sing new songs, as well as songs that everyone has known for years, in Latin arrangements, more calmly and create a playlist that everyone will listen to back to back. On the other hand, I will continue with musical works on the theater stage. I started this business not for profit, but because singing gives me pleasure. By performing at a venue in Istanbul, you do not earn as much money as you might think. I could earn more if I made a TV series. Of course, I say this by excluding big names who have been making music for years.”
Career plan: She mostly acted in drama but also acted in art film. She loves period works. “When I look at my career, I am happy with where I am. Since we are all insatiable, you think of “more” in that sense. When I look at it, I am grateful because what I experienced used to be my dream. I did good work and I consider myself lucky. My career is progressing well, I don’t have eyes for heights anyway. It would be nice if I was abroad, but I love doing business in this country.”
Who does she admire? There is no one whom she dreams of taking part in the same project, whom he calls my school, whom she admires immensely. “Of course there are actors that I really like. I love Kate Winslet, for example, her energy has been very good for me. He is always very cheerful and positive, she is not an actress we see in comedy works, but for some reason, she always gave me good energy as a viewer. I might want to share something together on the same project with him. There are already many domestic and foreign actors and actresses that we admire. Al Pacino would also be great to act with Robert De Niro. There is not a single obsessive name that I admire immensely, but of course there can be many actors and artists from Turkey as well. The important thing is to work with people with whom I am at peace and with whom I get along, this may be younger or older than me, from which I can learn something, both about the profession and about life. It’s not necessarily this name for the future, but I think my priority is to have the same frequency as the people in my work environment and to be happy and peaceful.”
Which movie was she influenced by: She likes sci-fi and fantasy works as a genre. “Christopher Nolan work appeals to me. I don’t get tired of watching ‘Bourne’ movies. “Life is Beautiful” is one of the films that impressed me the most. The movie ‘Holiday’ is a movie I’ve been watching on and off for years.”
How does it keep her shape? She finds herself lucky genetically, her metabolism is fast, she does not gain weight even if she eats a lot. “Genetically, I eat my father’s bread. My metabolism works fast. Also, I don’t eat fast food as much as I used to. I love to eat. I love to eat good food extra. I eat too much for a woman. Those who know me are surprised when they look at my type. The reason why I stay weak is that I never remove both genetics and sports from my life. I am interested in water sports. While playing in “Diriliş”, I took horse riding, sword and shooting lessons. Now I am a serious shooter candidate. I also do boxing and martial arts. Body build is muscular. I don’t like women with big muscles, I like very thin, thin women. That’s why you need to do it in moderation. My model friends used to be annoyed with me. They used to do a lot of sports to build muscle. Everyone wants what they don’t have, there was that situation.”
Perspective on aesthetic applications: She thinks that people should take good care of their body from the inside rather than aesthetic interventions. “Don’t do any sports, eat everything, then go, stretch this place, it’s funny. First of all, it is necessary to take precautions internally. You need to change your lifestyle. For example, I am trying to get rid of my bad habits. I quit smoking. I want to live a healthy and quality life. We should not tire our body with the things we eat and drink. Because surgical methods alone are not enough. We must live in every age. Age should not limit you to get some joys out of life.”
What does she do at home? She’s obsessed with cleanliness. “I know when I get up at night to clean.”
