Family: Her mother and father are bankers, she has a twin sister named Ezgi.

Even once, we had to change places at school because they wanted to have fun. ”
Childhood years: Childhood years have passed by playing games with her twin sisters in abundance. “It was never a boring childhood. My mother and father were working too, we had a cute mother, she was coming to look at us. We did not need a friend with the advantage of being the same age as Ezgi. We were playing with each other. We had no chance to play on the street in Bahçelievler, we were at home … My grandmother used to live in Fındıkzade. When we went to her house, all the children would play in the neighborhood, on the street and lay rugs in front of their doors. We would take care of them and lay rugs in front of our flat in the apartment, we were seated, and we would lay our toys on it.
Education life: Graduated from Istanbul University State Conservatory Theater Department.
How did she decide to be an actor? She dreamed of being an actor since childhood. “My mother used to take us to the theater very often. To City Theaters, State Theaters, Kenter Theater. One day I got auditioned by Kenter Theater and my acting adventure started. Actually, we used to play together with Ezgi until the end of high school. I would also draw pictures. In the senior year of high school, she chose the picture, I theater. ”
First step to acting: She started her television adventure with the series ‘North South’.
With which project did she shine? In her first project, she attracted attention with the character of ‘Cemre’, which she played in the ‘North South’ series, which she starred in.
Personality traits: Coy looks distant from the outside but on the contrary is warm blooded. “There is a stagnant production in general, so I think it is energy-free, but I am in balance. I just don’t live my feelings at the extremes, it sounds better to me. I am calm, we are all human, of course I am also angry, I feel sorry. There are moments when I get angry or rarely miss the setting. ”
Personal development: She thinks she has shortcomings with the use of voice and breath and tries to improve them.
How is someone on the set? What makes a script good for her is first of all dialogues, the literary side of the work, the story comes in second. Because the stories she likes are usually on events, not events. Therefore, literary language is of great importance. “The better the literary language, the more I act as an actress, I have largely overcome my burden of credibility and come to a position that serves and nourishes her, rather than tossing and fighting her constantly in the script.”
Source of happiness: Peaceful life is the biggest source of happiness. “Happiness is a very abstract concept. It is not easy for me to define it. But peace seems more tangible to me. If you feel comfortable and good at work, in your relationships, you are at peace. Happiness is passing through. ”
First feature film: Zeki Demirkubuz / Nausea
Look at love: When she’s happiest, when she feels she’s in love. ” I fall in love easily, even the relationship begins. I fall in love later. ”
Her outlook on life: She prefers to start her relationship with people without prejudice. “A teacher at the university said: There are two kinds of human behavior when starting the relationship; some start directly from 10 people opposite. Some start from 0, gradually raise … I was the second type. I start from 0. It develops over time. That’s why the relationships I have established are getting stronger and healthier. ”
Business life perspective: She sees acting as therapy. “Every character challenges me; because I have an opinion that all the characters I play should be different from each other. I try to make very small adjustments within myself, I don’t know how successful I am in that part, but when I first started this business, my tendency and the tendency that most people started first; its role is to bring it closer to itself. Now, after a while, she stops to give pleasure and wants to discover new things.
Concerns: She finds it sad that there are always very similar works in domestic TV series. “This is a matter of supply and demand, but unfortunately the world of television sometimes stands out by forgetting that this issue is in direct proportion and saying” This is demand. ”
Favorite female characters? “The character of Vannessa Ives, starring Eva Green in‘ Penny Dreadful, is very strong and a role to play. Likewise, Olive Kitteridge starring Frances McDormand. ”
Relationship with nature: She enjoys spending time in nature in her spare time. She loves Maçka Park especially in good weather. One of Istanbul’s favorite places is Eminönü. She loves to go there, to sit and eat in a place. ”
What does she do at home? She loves eating and eating. “I love to cook. I have my own pasta or something, and I cook classic pot dishes. I make chicken in the best oven. I also have something that I have added and made up. ”
Favorite feature? laziness is.
Hobby: – Playstatiton loves to play. She usually plays with her boyfriends. She also dives. “I always dived in Kaş. It was great when I first dived. Just like the relationship, the first time was very nice. I was fascinated by things that I wouldn’t normally react to. There was nothing else in life that I felt so excited about. I get very excited while diving. ”
