Childhood years: There are “holidays” in the best memories of childhood. “I think of my childhood on every feast. Holidays, holiday preparations, candy from the candy store in Kadıköy, coffee shopping from the coffee shop, my mother’s hair drying, the excitement of the holiday morning, crowded family tables. Holidays for us are the days when family values are kept alive. On the first day, we still gather at the family elders ‘house and go to kiss their elders’ hands. ”
Education: She studied violin at Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University Conservatory.
First step into acting: She started her television adventure with the character “Aslı Yazıcı” in the TV series “Köprü”(Bridge).
With which project did she shine? In 2012, she drew attention with the character “Nihal”, which he portrayed in the Ustura Kemal (Razor Kemal) TV series.
Personality traits: Prescriptive, positive, energetic, sincere, “I am normally a person who loves rules. I also like to wash. But I am a person who has rules in my home layout. Of course, without making people uncomfortable and anxious. I wake up every day with great excitement. Everyone has their passions that they feed on, so as soon as I wake up, I think, “Which seaside should I go to?” My mother’s upbringing like this is also a factor. It continues no matter how you condition your brain, so my awakening is happy and continues throughout the day. I believe in the energy and miracle of everything. It is selfish to devastate myself on any subject, to concentrate on negative feelings. I do not take my word for it. But I do not speak in a way that will hurt the other person. I am not one of those who break and shed in anger. My feelings are at the forefront, I listen to my inner voice first. Then I look at what is ethical and right for everyone. I criticize myself the most and constantly. I don’t like myself at all. I am such a tiring character that I always deal with myself. ”
Structure of mind: Although she thinks that popularity is inevitable because she has a profession that is visible, her primary goal is not to be known. “Being popular is part of our job. I do not deny this. I want my work to pass on to people. I can’t do this by playing alone at home. Popularity; It is not something that happens because you are good. So I am not in or in the side of popularity. I’m glad people know me, it’s separate. But this is not my primary goal. By our nature, there is evil within us, the important thing is how much you tamed them. I have never done any harm on purpose. There have been people I hurt. Even though I try to be very subtle, I sometimes take a bit harsh attitude. I don’t really care about my physical appearance, I don’t really believe in what’s outside. But I think you are also reflecting what is inside you. But the first place I look is not my appearance. I am a difficult person. All the details can get me into a huge chaos. With the education we have received at the conservatory since the age of 11, we were raised with such huge foundations on how to think and discipline. I am always determined to do the best. Details make me aggressive, rigid, and I try to tame them. It is very important for people to know oneself. ”
What kind of person is she on set? “Gesturesare part of emotion. In the preliminary works of each character, you apply his previous life, height, shape in his brain and body as he assumes that character. I also try to extract whatever emotions should be reflected in the character. This means that they are liked by people that those TV series or the characters I play with are popular. ”
The look at love: “I think about love a lot, everything is love for me. There is love in what I try to tell, every step I take. Because it is love, I am affected so quickly by everything. The end of love will wear me out, and time will be the remedy. I live whatever the ending point of that relationship allows. If it is very deep, if I have to be very sad, I am very sad. ”
Her view of life: She has an emotional nature and her feelings are very variable. “I strive to live with the awareness that I can feel the pain of others. If my worries, anxieties, pains are in my head, I try to filter them and sleep peacefully. I also get depressed from time to time, but it also happens with my preference. Depression is also important to me. But for nothing, I did not put myself in a situation that would beat myself up. If I am depressed, I will immediately find a way out of it. My feelings always change, it will be cliché without your dark side, but you can neither produce nor be creative without feeding on pain. I allow the difficulties and pain of life and I do not say ‘I have to get out of this feeling immediately’. Of course, I do not allow it to become worn out and sick to me. Because I am emotional, I want to live and end the emotions that will make me depressed. I sometimes gamify this situation. I am looking for myself within myself. ”
Her view of business life: She thinks that her musical education contributes to her acting. “I studied at the conservatory at Mimar Sinan University. It doesn’t just have a music section; we received a conservative education there. From ballet to acting. So if I go a little bit on it, I can also paint. They are not too far from each other. I also hear his music playing every character. That sense of rhythm works very well for me, frankly. This aspect is an advantage for me. In fact, the rate of watching TV series is very high all over the world. And somehow people especially internalize the characters they find themselves in. This is actually a lot more in Turkey. I don’t think this is very normal. After all, we are actors, we do our job. We are neither Feride, nor Songul, nor Toprak. Of course, their internalization shows how well we reflect on them. But when you play a bad character, you may also encounter maltreatment outside, or there may be areas as a model. These are not very normal things. ”
Career plan: She feels very lucky to do her favorite job and always wants to portray different characters. “Luckily I am doing what I love. Playing different characters each time creates great excitement. All the characters give me experience. Until now, I have not done anything that I wish or said “If it were this, not this”. I have always been happy because of my luck. ”
Future Dream: She wants to release an album in the future. “If one day it comes to life; the part I sing will be more than the part where I play an instrument. There is nothing clear at the moment. I’m sending a message to the universe, that’s my ideal. ”
What does she do at home? In her spare time, she likes to spend time at home with her family and loved ones and have a long conversation. “We are not TV addicts at home, we turn off the TV and chat. Everyone explains what they do during the day, makes their criticism and comments. Even though I live apart from my family, our relationship is very tight. Apart from that, when I am at home, I listen to music and read books and try to spend my time productively. ”
How is she with social media? Although she uses social media, she does not neglect to do phone detox from time to time during the day. “Technology is always in our lives. I constantly see myself looking at the phone after smartphones come out. But I do detox as follows. For example, if I do not have a very important job when I go home and I do not need to check my mail, I definitely do not pick up the phone. It used to be called stupid box for televisions. In fact, smartphones are now in the same position. Social media pollution is too much. You spend a lot of free time. But of course they also have auspicious situation. I read the news from there, I get the information from there. I can get things in my mind questioned from there. But I do long-term detoxes during the day. It’s like not fiddling with the phone. ”
