Pets: Her cat is Vecihi.
Family: She was born in Izmir to a family of middle class. She married Gürhan Altundaşar, an actress like herself, in 2018. The couple has no children yet. “I think I could not do another profession if I could not win the conservatory. My family has always supported me, but they had a limit. That’s why I always worked. I had very penniless periods. I worked as a waitress and a secretary. My goal has always been to be a good player. ”
Childhood years: Since my childhood, the profession she most wanted to do was acting. “I don’t remember saying ‘I want to be a doctor or lawyer when I grow up’ like some children. But I don’t think I can be so idealistic about anything other than acting. Because I didn’t want anything else that much. ”
Education life: She graduated from Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University, Faculty of Fine Arts, Department of Acting. Later, she got her master’s degree in advanced acting program at Kadir Has University.
The first step to acting: She started her television adventure with the TV series ‘Al Gülüm Ver Gülüm’.
Which project did she shine with? She drew attention with the character of ‘Selin’ in the ’90s’ TV series.
Personality traits: Distance, sensitive, emotional, sincere, idealistic. “I’ll keep my distance where necessary. Sometimes I put myself in the background so as not to offend the other person. I cry very easily. I’m not too romantic. I love my walls. But I am always open to the people I love. I have very close friends and friends I love. Always fun with them, always chat. But I also have a closed side. I am a Cancer, I always have a hidden side. I also love privacy. Especially when I meet a new person, I can have a problem with trust. I cannot trust very easily and open myself. I am more sheltered. ”
Social: In her spare time, she takes time to rest, read and watch, and she takes care to spend time with her wife.
Mindset: The vast majority of people think that the biggest problem is to look at everything in life from the negative side. She takes care not to offend those around her and does not judge anyone. “When you come out saying ‘I will do this’, you usually hear, except for your family and maybe a few friends: ‘You can’t!’ I almost never heard someone saying ‘You can, of course you can!’ I remember when I was nominated for the Afife Jale Award. At that time, too, there were very few people who said ‘You can do it’. You will believe in yourself! When they say ‘You can’t’, you will cling to your dream with a stronger motivation. I was always saying to myself when I heard those negative judgments. ‘Come on why? Why can’t I? I do! ”After all, if someone is doing this, it’s something that can be learned and done. If he does, I’ll do it too. I have always acted only believing in myself. Hitting someone makes me very nervous. I don’t want to offend anyone, because then it becomes a problem for me. Maybe the other party doesn’t even think about it, but I’m obsessed with coming home and saying, “Was he taken for what I said?” I used to think more, luckily I’m better now. I try to be attentive to people. Because being nice is important. But now I also learned to let things flow. The most important thing is not to judge, not to be judged. ”
Source of happiness: In 2017, she experienced an indescribable happiness when she received the ‘Afife Jale Best Actress Award’ for her performance in the play ‘Swallow’. “I was too happy to describe. Once my family was very happy. I was even happier because I could make them so happy. It is an honor to know that what you are doing is visible in some way, reaching places. ”
First feature film: Ersan Arsever / Bir Ses Böler Geceyi
The view of love: Love is something that contains many emotions. I think it cannot be defined. But for example, when I wake up in the morning, I wouldn’t want to think that I didn’t see Gürhan next to me. I always want to wake up with him. This is love for sure! But a very passionate love tears people off the abyss. I don’t do that either. I am very in love with my wife! But there must be a sense of trust in love. I am so happy. Otherwise, I would never darken and give up on myself for someone wrong. I always have logic in play. ”
View of life: She tries to live life as soon as possible, she does not plan and program. “My story is fine where I am now. Everything that was lived, fortunately lived, finished. We can start over from any point. As I got older, my anxiety started to decrease. My ideas are changing. I believe the world is just now, I have no idea about the rest, and I shouldn’t worry about things I don’t have. I am here and there right now. We’ll see what’s after. If I’m going to worry then I will. Not now.”
Her view of business life: Although she is not brave in everything about her life, she can be very brave when it comes to acting. “When it comes to my job, it is necessary to jump off a cliff there. As the phrase goes, it is necessary to go head over heels. I give myself infinite freedom in that area. Because the moment you surrender to fear, you will close all the doors to change and improvement. But despite this, for example, I may not be that brave in my private life. I am a person who is more cautious and has walls in bilateral relations. Beauty shouldn’t matter in acting, but it’s different in the market. Our people love the beautiful. However, it is not necessary to be beautiful to convey a feeling to the audience. Maybe this situation is a pain for the very talented players. Shouldn’t we play because we’re not beautiful? We are talented, after all. I think people now want to see not only beautiful but also talented actors. ”
Career plan: Her goal is to do her job properly throughout her life and always be on the stage. “Acting is something wonderful when it is done, but very unhappy when it is not done. I’ve always done theater. When I can’t make money or when I’m making money. When we have very little audience or when we have a lot of audience. So this is my job. When I first came to Istanbul, I was sick of working hard when I was trying to hold on. At that time, my father said, “You will die of idealism, come to Izmir.” I don’t know if I am an idealist in everything, but I can say that for my job. I’ve done theater under very difficult conditions and I’m still trying to do it, that’s why it’s so precious. I studied for this for seven years. ”
Dream of the Future: Her only dream for the future is to always play! “The thing I believe most in life is my job and my wife. I think the most basic things that keep people alive are doing the job you love and the presence of a person you love and trust. My future dreams are always about acting. TV series, cinema or theater. Every field we can play is very precious to me. I want to play very good roles all my life. Another dream of mine is to work with Haluk Bilginer and İpek Bilgin. ”
Concerns: She thinks we’ve lost confidence over the years. She finds the violence inflicted on all living things, including women, worrying. “Being a woman is difficult at all times. Sorry, this is nothing new. We are just very tired of this situation now. It has always been like this, but it should not go like this. Which one of the injustices and violence against women, let us tell, everything is obvious. I don’t want to tell anymore because the era of male violence will end soon. Violence against women, children, animals and creatures will end, must end! A much more conscious new generation is coming. I do not lose hope in this matter, but I am also very angry. Be afraid to breathe the same air as people with perverts. ”
Role model: There are many names that she has taken as an example and have always inspired her, some of them; Cate Blanchett, Meryl Streep, Haluk Bilginer and Rüştü Asyalı.
Who does she admire? She admires Gupse Özay, her co-star in the movie “Eltilerin Savaşı”. “Gupse is smart, funny, beautiful, talented. Good thing we worked together. His intelligence fascinates people. I’m not just saying I’m serious about it. “Eltilerin Savaşı” is a very precious movie for me. In the comedy field, it was very important for Gupse to believe me and always be there for me. I don’t want to divide it into comedy and drama, but still playing comedy is something else. He has another math. Gupse Özay is a comedian who can do this very well. And this is flattering. ”
How is it with social media? He is uncomfortable with the culture of lynching on social media. “Lynch culture is very sad. My use of social media is quite old, but I’m just putting my work. I am not someone who shares a lot. You say something, you are lynching, you do not say, you are eating again, your tongue is slipping again, you lynch again, you comment, you are lynched. I do not understand that it is done according to what? The subject comes to judgment again. We love to judge, question, break, upset each other. ”
What does she do at home? One of the indispensable stress relief methods when she returns home after a tiring day is to hug her cat Vecihi. “My best decision in life was to adopt an animal. Animals are my favorites in this world. One of my reasons for happiness and stress relief is to love animals. If everyone adopts an animal, the flow of life will change. ”
Which movie was she affected by? “Men Don’t Cry” is a movie that he won’t get bored even if he watches it many times.
