Family: “My mother used to paint as a hobby. Then he set up a workshop with a friend. My father was interested in the stock market. I have a brother who is three years younger than me. He’s directing. ”
Childhood years: “I had a happy and lucky childhood in a large family in Istanbul, my cousins and aunts. Some of my years passed in Polonezköy and some in Büyükada. ”
Educational life: She graduated from Pera Fine Arts High School Theater Department.
The first step into acting: In 1999, she starred in the television series “Women Club” with Nilgün Belgün and Levent Özdilek. She had her first stage experience at the age of 14 with the musical titled “Seven Husbands Hürmüz”.
With which project did it shine? She started to be known with the character of Feriha, played by Çağan Irmak in the series ‘Rose Oya in My Circle’.
Personality traits: “I think the reason I look cool and snop from the outside is the roles I play. I was also very shy and shy in the past. I think getting older makes people comfortable. Contrary to what I see, I like to laugh. Cheerful and energetic. If I sit somewhere for half an hour, I will be uncomfortable. I’ll get up and start moving. ”
Mindset: “If you’re an actor, you’re showing your changes in the places where you’re acting. I do not reflect my hair or style that I changed for work to my private life. As one speaks and expresses her thoughts, she becomes beautiful with her soul. I think good spirit rather than intelligence makes people beautiful. ”
Source of happiness: Spending time with her family.
First feature film: Cemal Kavsar – Love is Beautiful Thing / 2000 (Ayten)
The person she admires: “Nuri Bilge Ceylan gives the player an enormous space. You don’t feel like on a set shooting process that should end on his set. It’s like you’re in an endless field of discovery. ”
The definition of love: “As a system, we are people who are believed and guided as the absolute purpose of marriage. Is marriage a necessity, is it a moral taboo, do people have to get married, is happiness going through marriage, etc … I think these are the issues that one will decide on. Everyone is actually to herself. Everyone should live the way they are happy. ”
Her outlook on life: “I cannot decide in advance whether this will be this or that in life. I am what I am now. I may be someone else tomorrow. I’m just looking for peace and happiness in my life. I’m looking for myself … It takes a lifetime to understand yourself. Because you are constantly changing in circumstances, your fight is always with yourself. ”
Her view of business life: “I do not accept that beauty has an importance in acting. Acting does not consist of beauty. What may be nice to you may not be for me, talent and spirit are important in acting. ”
Dream of the Future: One of the characters in Tim Burton movies.
Concerns: “I think about the issue of injustice and prejudice. People tend to hurt each other. How do we learn to love each other? I think. The other thing we suffer most is the othering. You shouldn’t do what you don’t want done to someone else. We are all trying to save the day and ourselves. Yeah, maybe I might be someone like that. But we live such a life that we cannot notice each other, there is a lack of tolerance. We lose our sensitivity to each other. There is no respect. Everyone is attacked and I think this is insane. Perhaps the biggest reason for our unhappiness is the glorification of individual life. But when we return to ourselves, we are not interested in ourselves. We always deal with what we don’t have, always in someone else
we want the one. ”
The character she finds herself in the movies she plays? “The character of the Sea in I Never Love Markets. She was cheerful, doing whatever she could think of. ”
Man’s charm criterion: I hate myself if I set up a sentence that says “a man affects me like this.”
Her most disliked mood: “I am nervous … Sometimes I cannot control my nerves as I want. Sometimes there is an explosion of anger. ”
Favorite hobby: “I like playing drums, I even hired a teacher.”
Her biggest fear is: “I fear that my mind will let me down one day.”
