Childhood years: She has always had acting in her life since she was a child. “I used to get in front of the TV when I was little. I couldn’t understand why my family was watching TV and not me. At home, I would always do something to show my cat. After secondary school, I said to my father, ‘Take me to Mimar Sinan University’. When I went, they said I was younger and I only applied here after high school, and in my second year, I entered the school with the support of my dear friend Onur Bayraktar.”
Education life: After Arnavutköy Korkmaz Yiğit High School, she graduated from Mimar Sinan University State Conservatory Theater Department. In addition to acting, she is also a trainer and player coach.
The turning point in her life: She started modeling at the age of 14. She was among the latest models to appear on the podium in Turkey during the period when modeling was popular. Entering the conservatory was the turning point of her life. “When I entered the conservatory, I put everything aside and focused on school. We established a theater with Onur Bayraktar. It was a game called ‘Eksik Zamanlar’ consisting of our own texts. At that time, alternative theaters were not that effective. There were times when I played games for 4-5 people, so the happiness of playing sold-out is completely different for me.”
The first step into acting: She started her television adventure in 2012 with the character of “Mualla”, which she portrayed in the TV series “Kötü Yol”.
Which project did she shine with? She attracted attention with the character of “Fulden”, which she portrayed in the TV series “Kocamın Ailesi”.
Her view on love: “It’s not hard to establish a relationship, but love is something else. Love is vibrating at the same frequency and it’s not easy to find. I am a person born on February 14. I have a heart shaped birthmark on my body. The times I love myself the most are when I’m in love. No story in my life can separate me from love. Love is actually about you. I am a freedom-loving woman. I am also a loyal person. When I feel like I belong to someone while having a relationship, I can be a different woman. The social and freedom-loving woman turns into a domestic character. I’ve been through this and so marriage is not far from me, but I don’t want to live in a marriage full of clichés. After marriage, the fear of losing disappears. This is not trust, but the person who trusts is also afraid. Marriage is not my first priority in life, so is the child. I don’t think everyone should be a mother in life. I really want to do it at the right time.”
Source of happiness: She is happy with the attention of her fans. “There is no longer a purely bad character understanding of the Yeşilçam era in Turkey. When people see me on the street, they don’t treat me badly because of the character I play. Just as I am happy when it is said, ‘Oh, you’re the one, or you play very well’, I also feel happy when it is said, ‘You are a bad woman,’ so I say it’s convincing.”
First feature film: Togan Gökbakar / Gen
Her outlook on life: “I’m glad I became an actress, but I also love the business and public relations side of business. I also love music very much. For example, I’m a DJ. It started out as a hobby and now it has become a business. I had a very large music archive and I realized that I couldn’t have fun in the places I went, and then it became a job. I also had a single work, it was a single work to be released, but then there were problems and we decided to share it on the internet. It’s something I do as a hobby. I’m not a singer, but I love to sing. It remains as a hobby.”
Her outlook on business life: She is happy to be an actress and is also interested in music. “I’m glad I became an actress, but I also love the business and public relations side of the business.

I’m not a singer, but I love to sing. It remains as a hobby.
I love playing different characters. Someone is very popular in a character, and then the same roles start to come to her all the time. As a player, I don’t prefer this too much. I’ve also played comedy for years, but I’ve made an effort to do it all differently. I don’t enjoy playing the same thing. Every play in the theater is different, so people played Lüküs Hayat for years.”
Male attractiveness criteria: She thinks that a man should first arouse admiration in her. “He should be a man, he should be admired, he should be able to teach something, he should be witty, he should not be moldy, he should be taboo, he should be open-minded, he should be free. Although he cannot love much, he must have the strength to receive love from others. For example, he should be calm, instead of taking everything on himself, he should observe and have fun with some situations. He should be polite and gentleman, there is no military friend in front of him, hello. Let him love well, the rest is a lie.”
