Family: Born in Silivri, Istanbul. Her father is Albanian, Macedonian immigrant, engaged in business. Her mother’s side is Thessaloniki, an immigrant from Greece. She has a brother 4 years younger than her. Her family always supported her in starting the theater. Her mother noticed her interest in acting and enrolled her in Müjdat Gezen Art Center. “I am very lucky with my family and I am always grateful for that. Both my parents have always freed me of my interests and gave me space to make my dreams come true. My family was also a pioneer in starting the theater. “Discover yourself, do whatever you are happy doing and never let go of what you believe in!” That’s what they teach us, thank you thousands. ”
Her childhood years: She started her first basic education at Müjdat Gezen Art Center when she told the parents of her teacher of the drama lesson she took while going to the fifth grade, “Let him not quit acting, start theater.” “I learned how to stand on stage, control volume and diaphragm there, and continued until high school. Although I love theater and stage, my main wish was to get in front of the camera. The actor is an actor everywhere but you learn technically different things in front of the camera. The landscape of my childhood that comes to life before my eyes, the garden of our house is huge. We run around the fountains in the garden of my house, play fairy games, play hide and seek, play football and volleyball. All the children of the neighborhood, my brother and I. And we always had animals. Now we have two dogs and a newly born cat. ”
Education life: She completed her high school education in Selimpaşa Atatürk Anatolian High School. She studied at Müjdat Gezen Art Center since primary school. She still continues her education at Koç University Media and Visual Arts Department.
First step into acting: She started her television adventure with the character “Asya”, which he played in the “Bitter Sweet Life” series.
Which project did she shine with? She drew attention with the character of ‘Yasemin’ in the ‘Tainted Love’ series.
Personality traits: She is Capricorn and believes in signs and thinks they have the characteristics of their sign. “I believe the universe is a whole. For this reason, I think that the movements of the planets, the lunar eclipse, the solar eclipse, in short, everything in this universe, because I believe in the integrity of every living thing, all interact. Everything is energy. My rising is the fish. Fish are very emotional, capricorn is responsible, disciplined and very stubborn, there are contrasts there. They both balance each other and clash. ”
Social: Likes to dance Latin dances in his spare time; She makes Kizomba, a mix of salsa, bachata, Argentine tango, and very little tango and bachata. “I also love to attend Latin dance nights. I even found it at the hotel where I stayed in Izmir for a while. When I saw the poster, I asked, that evening. I danced all night, it was very enjoyable. ”
Mindset: She is very happy with constructive criticism. “When I do good work, people around me are very happy and supportive. Goodwill is important, but when bad intent gets involved; Is the only reason for the comments made “bad intention”, I try to neutralize myself and keep my energy field clean. ”
A source of happiness: She feels lucky about the actors and directors she has worked with in projects she has acted in so far. In the movie Mucizee 2 I learned from Mahsun Kırmızıgül that emotion is whole, he lived with everything while telling a story. I am very happy to have the chance to play Fikret Kuşkan’s daughter twice, I love him very much. We have a special scene in Miracle 2, for example, at some point I got distracted and tense. He felt that instant rupture, he caught me and, looking into my eyes, he gave me the game, he took it in again. He also has something that he always says; He says, “You will never say that you are, it can always be better, always work, put it on, be open to learning.” Great examples, the more I can learn from them, the more profit. ”
First feature film: Ömer Can – Derya Gökgöl / Dünya Hali
Her view of love: “I believe in love more than love. Where there is true love there is no impossibility. Even though I meet a difficult love, I never let go of something I really feel. I am fidgety, but when I fall in love, I also get a little silly on it. ”
Her view of life: She gets the motivation to stand up again in moments of disappointment from her mother. “In these moments, my mother lifts me up. She criticizes mercilessly when necessary, but if she needs to get up, she gives her the biggest support. One should not lose faith. And I pray to God a lot. A sign will surely come, show a way. I am happy as I am. I never want to lose ‘being the way I am’. Sometimes we need to slow down or even stop in life! Stop, listen, feel. Stopping means both returning to yourself and perceiving life, thinking, concentrating on your feelings, learning, exploring, getting to know yourself and your environment. Let’s breathe, listen to our breath; let’s not forget to stop. ”
Her view of business life: As an actress who continues her cinema and TV series acting together, she likes the different aspects of both. “I love both of them. You usually have more opportunities to work on the character in cinema. You can focus more on each scene, I love it. In the series, I love the unknown. You don’t know what awaits the character in the future or what it will turn into, and you go on a journey with him. You have the general story, but a lot can change along the way. Such as life. If his path is good, I like to go with him. I also love to produce it continuously. It becomes like a continuous workout. ”
Career plan: Its aim is to be known as ‘one of the best players’ in the future. The biggest goal is to work hard, learn a lot and make the best of his potential, and do her job in the best way possible. “The most important thing for me is to be myself, to always improve myself, to always push my limits. Sometimes you don’t even know what you can take out of yourself. ”
Concerns: One of the biggest concerns is the damage that human beings cause to nature. “It is as if this nature, the environment is given to us to consume and we consume everything without question. I think this awareness is beginning to arise in every subject. Let it be cleaning the seas, greening our environment. When you harm nature, you are also hurting yourself. Since fashion is one of the most polluting industries, it is very important to create this awareness and change the consciousness. Consumption frenzy is in every sector. Technology has improved incredibly, most of the people living in the city are in sealed boxes. Sometimes people do not even notice a tree in a small area in the garden, unfortunately, because it lives with technology. Everything will be different if we grow up with awareness, respect for nature and being whole in the growth phase. ”
How is she with social media? She has good relations with social media, especially she uses Instagram actively. “The platform I use the most is Instagram. One day I share ten stories in a row, then you see, I don’t post anything for days. It totally depends on my mood. My style has never changed according to the number of followers, I am still the way I am. ”
Does she follow the fashion? She is a strict follower of fashion. She especially likes Jennifer Lopez’s style. “I’m such a Saint Laurent girl! I love every piece of it, I prefer simpler and more elegant styles. I also like the Mediterranean breeze of Dolce & Gabbana. ”
Which trait surprises newcomers to your life? Number eight is myopia.
Who does she admire? She really wants to work with Tim Burton and Halit Ergenç. “I really like Tim Burton as a director. And I would love to play with Halit Ergenç. He is an incredible actor that I admire very much. ”
Male attractiveness criteria: Sincerity and honesty. “I think it is very important to be sincere. I expect the man in front of me to be sincere and honest. ”
What does she do at home? When she is at home, she likes to read, draws and is also a hobby of writing. “Actually, I don’t sit down and say ‘Let me write’ but it flows when I start. I do not share it with anyone, I write myself, I also have a script. I like the flow of consciousness technique. For example, our teacher gave us the poem Fahriye Abla as a project and said write something inspired by it. There was also a story in the past centuries that healer women were burned as witches, I also made a painting of it, but it was left unfinished. I also do painting purely as a hobby. I was going to painting class when I was little, I paint more than write. ”
Which movie was she affected by? The movie he won’t get tired of watching is ‘A Star is Born’. “I’m already a big fan of Bradley Cooper, I was admired again in this movie with his directing.”
