Childhood years: She started acting as a kid. She caught the producers’ attention when she sent her mother’s baby photo to a magazine. She was only 6 years old in her first acting experience. “My parents never pressured me to study. I have continued my school until today with my own solutions. I was not such a lazy student in my education life either. Both the school and the set help me make time to work if I want. My comfort is also reflected in them. ”
Education life: She states that she wants to study acting or sociology at the university.
First step into acting: She started her television adventure in 2004 with the TV series En İyi Arkadaşım (My Best Friend).
With which project did sdohe shine? She drew attention with the character “Asuman”, which she portrayed in the “Fullmoon” series.
Personality traits: Rebel, knows what she wants, has high self-esteem. “I’m a little rebellious. I am someone who hates being pressured. My family has always raised me so that I can make my own decisions. No matter what I did, I tried to get out of my own mud, and they advised me how to improve it in my own way. I am also very free-spirited. Looking positively at things I don’t like, I try to turn them into opportunities. ”
Mindset: She does not have to worry about being famous or popular, she just wants to act. “I want to be an actress until the end, but not to be famous. I don’t have to worry about being popular. I want to take part in jobs that have a problem. Since I am so obsessed with social issues, I want to use acting to tell people. ”
The source of happiness: She is happy to find the opportunity to open up abroad with the movie “Mustang”. What we went through at the Oscar ceremony was inexplicably happy. I don’t think I can describe it with 29 letters. As soon as we got off the plane on the first day, we went to the area where the speeches would be held under the category for which our movie was nominated. It is such an environment that I turn to my right There is Inarritu, I turn to my left there is Cate Blanchett. My eyes were spinning freely. Unbelievable. For example, we had a joint interview with Deniz (Gamze Ergüven) after the Oscar dinner, but it was canceled. Then we saw on Instagram that The Weeknd, Lady Gaga, Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Lawrence went to the same party. My eyes turned, we could see most of them! ”
First movie: Deniz Gamze Ergüven / Mustang
Her attitude to business life: She doesn’t like getting a job just to be on the TV series and not be empty. “But I am evaluating everything that comes before me because I am not at the stage to make the first assessment myself on what to choose and what not to choose at the moment. Other than that, I’m a little obsessed with social things. I believe that people can be reached by using art, as in the “Mustang”. When the problems in society are reflected in different languages, when cinema uses it, you put a stone in people’s shoes. This bothers them somehow. That’s why being in these things makes me happier. ”
Career plan: The 2015 movie ‘Mustang’ gained worldwide recognition. The film “Mustang”, whose shooting was completed in Kastamonu İnebolu district, was nominated for the first place in the Cannes Film Festival. The film, which is a Turkish-French-German-Qatar production, also received a nomination for France in the 88th Academy Awards for Best Foreign Language Film. From now on, he wants to take part in social projects. “The ‘Mustang’ movie impressed me very much. We are touching a universal issue there. I saw how effective my work can be in ‘Mustang. I also want to write a script in the future. ”
Concerns: She has an activist spirit, she finds male domination over women alarming. “Women have been tried to be oppressed in every society. I always have an activist spirit, I would be tomato paste for everything. I am distracted by the perception that “Someone has to do something”. I also feel guilty if I can’t do anything. I saw that a lot has changed after the “Mustang” movie. Because it’s not just about us, it’s universal. Women have been tried to be oppressed under male domination in every society. We showed Turkey, but from China, a woman came from Africa, we would like to thank to reflect this. Men say, “Finally, someone showed it.”
Role model: All powerful women are role models for her. “If it is not like following someone’s path, but to be influenced by it, mine is Deniz Gamze Ergüven, the director of Mustang. She was pregnant during filming. The producer left, he found a new producer. It was the heart of the movie that always kept us together. He had a child, but he was with us at the festival. Everything he does seems completely different to me. In a society where women are seen at a slightly lower level, the presence of a large female figure near me impressed me tremendously. ”
How is she with social media? She actively uses social media. At the same time, she broadcasts on various topics related to beauty, fashion, clothing combinations, skin care, make-up and hair care on her YouTube channel.
