Family: The daughter of a family from Silivr. The mother’s side is from Thessaloniki, the father’s side is from Circassian. She has two older sisters. She lived in Silivri until she finished high school. “I grew up in a crowded and fun family. My grandmother and uncle lived together in a detached house. At first, I was a closed child, everything was too active for me. Then when I stopped resisting being part of it, the parts of my character that I loved and trusted flourished there.
Childhood: Besides being very curious and excited, she was an introverted child. “Being the youngest daughter of the family both gives confidence and entertains. I have secretly worn my sister’s clothes and got very beaten. Now we get along very well. I always wanted to study archeology or communication during my secondary and high school years. But there was no verbal department in high school. That’s why I read an equal weight. This led me to choose a department that I never thought of. In fact, we can say that the disorder of the system caused me to discover acting. Because if I could choose the part I wanted, I wouldn’t be able to search and discover acting. ”
Education life: She lived in Silivri until she finished high school. Beykent University abandoned the International Trade department. She took acting and then acting management lessons.
The turning point of her life: “Actually, acting has found her. While she was saying “I think I will never find what I want” and running from the sector to the industry, the events were overturned like a domino stone and stopped acting. “Özay Fecht is the reason why I started acting. I was taking acting lessons from him. He directed me to choose the cast of ‘Where’s my daughter?’ I am grateful to him. ”
First step to acting: She started her television adventure with the series ‘Where is My Daughter’.
With which project did it shine? In 2014, in the ‘Medcezir’ series, it announced its name to large masses with the character ‘Ada’.
Personality traits: Energetic, authentic, natural, friendly, realistic, determined.
Mindset: It does not magazine your private life, loves privacy and does its best to protect it. She believes that it is necessary to be fed and motivated from them rather than cling to their disappointments. “A controllable ego is always good, reinforcing your faith in yourself. But I have something other than a personal ego. I believe in human potential very much, we should have a lot of hope in everything we can do. How much you control your ego determines your way. That balance is a fine line, but there’s a very thick wall between knowing your own value and caring about yourself. ”
Source of happiness: To be able to do the job he likes and to take part in the ‘Cherry Season’ series. “The ‘Cherry Season’ was the school for me and many of us. I don’t know what it would have been like if it hadn’t been for her, but it was good. ”
First feature film: Serkan Acar- Yılmaz Okumuş / Bizum Hoca
Definition of love: When she is in love, she feels like she is walking around with 100 butterflies. It is more resistant to life as if it has received happy news all the time. She also explains her relationship with Serkan Çayoğlu, with whom she has been together for a long time, with the following words; “Our relationship was improvised. We are very good friends, we laugh a lot, while we have a common language. It’s been a long time, most of the fights that can be had are we are enjoying it now. ”
Her outlook on life: She’s not a romantic person. Her greatest adventures are life-related risks. She lives impulsively, does not think long-term. The job she loves very important to her. So she’s brave enough to afford so much. “Leaving aside all reasonable criteria, the instant decisions I made with the impulses at that moment and my subsequent chaos are famous. My job is my biggest bond with life, it keeps me in the moment. Also, my biggest fun is doing the job I love. ”
Business view: She decided after entering the industry she wanted to be an actor. “For a hyperactive person like me, it’s great to have great engagement. It can keep me entertained at any moment, it can fill my mind. Curiosity and learning new things satisfy my urge to learn. I can do everything I want to be, I want to try at the same time only thanks to my work. After I started acting, I calmed down to me. So, I said that this is the discovery of what the person likes, and I went over it. Every job has bumps, bumps, of course, our job too … Of course there were times when I said “maybe I should try something else” but there were also things that would give me up and give hope. Now, I know; this is my way and it doesn’t scare me. ”
Career plan: It allows a good scenario and team to push the limits. In a job she trusts, she does not follow the rules very much. She wants to take part in the women’s story. “It would be a pleasure for me to play a woman with a bit of despair but an ambition who faces her who discovers herself.
Future Dream : The only dream about life; continue to live as a happy, self-reliant woman. “I love happy women who are at peace with themselves. My dream about my job is to play the characters I can fall in love with. I just want to do things that make me happy in the future and I need investment for this chance to choose, I know it. It cannot be said that I have been able to do so much, but I’m trying, I hope I will learn. ”
Concerns: She cares about social responsibility projects and tries to exist in these projects as much as she can. “Social responsibility projects are good for me in all areas. We lost my sister from cancer. I am familiar with those processes and what happened afterwards. Firstly, children with cancer, the elderly, women’s rights, child abuse, animal rights, and other areas of interest in terms of social responsibility … If I am able to help someone, it hurts me whenever I stop. If I can make a small contribution to the life of a living creature, I should do this if I can make it beautiful. Somehow everybody touches each other’s life. Whether you are aware whenever I am happy or not, someone contributes. That’s why I want to contribute to someone’s happiness. We owe this to this world. ”
Her most disliked feature: Impatience. “It gets tiring, so sometimes I try to be calmer and patient.”
What does she do at home? She enjoys cooking. “I am good at Italian and Mediterranean cuisine and of course traditional Turkish cuisine. Everyone loves my cookies but there are dishes that I mix and make and whatever is at hand, and I love them the most. ”
Which movie was she affected? Cafe de Flore was very impressed by her movie. The films you enjoy watching and watch many times; Ladri di Biciclette (Bicycle Thieves) and the Back to the Future series.
