Childhood years: After her parents separated, she grew up with her aunts, grandmother and mother. “I was a very happy child, I grew up in a happy family. I am from Ankara. Friendships there, friendships from childhood are much more different. They looked at me like a princess. Let it be my grandmother, my aunts. I was an only child but never felt the loneliness of a single childhood. There were no men around us. If you don’t have a male figure around, people will look at you differently. They think you are much more approachable. Therefore, I always had to be more cautious and protect myself. I did not come to this situation suddenly. There were times when I was thinking about how to pay my rent. I struggled alone from school. I worked and earned my own money. I didn’t get help from anyone. When I look back now I say to myself ‘Well done, I am glad you have been patient, I am glad you worked, fortunately you have waited. I always have “I’m glad”. I was able to make good use of the money I earned. I used to have no dream of being an actor, but I had to worry about earning money as soon as possible, starting life, taking care of my family. Thank goodness I have experienced that too. ”
Education life: She studied in Ankara Arı College Primary School. After finishing secondary school in Ankara Gaziosmanpaşa Primary School and Ödemiş Primary School, she graduated from Ankara Sokullu Mehmet Paşa High School. She studied at the Department of Tourism Management at Eskişehir Anadolu University.
The turning point in her life: During her school years, she would never have thought that she would be famous and her reputation would spread to Arab countries! She didn’t have any thinking like acting anyway. “My mother was doing interior architecture sarcastically. We were roasting in our own oil. I studied “Tourism Hotel Management” in Eskişehir. I have always worked in the summer. After I graduated, I made my way to Istanbul alone. It was very difficult to hold on. I immediately started my head and got a job. Then I went to some commercial interviews. I waited for my first commercial at home, in front of the television, “When will it be released?” Then “Day Dreaming” came and acting started. ”
First step into acting: At the same time, she took his first step into acting and caught popularity with the character “Aslı Zeybek” in the series “Day Dreaming”.
Personality traits: Natural, calm, calm, determined “I was always determined, always worked but never ambitious. I was lucky too. Life has been very generous to me, let me not be unfair. I achieved the challenge. I created my life standard myself. Not ambitious, but determined. I worked hard and was patient. I didn’t let anyone get in my way. And I did all this alone. I cannot be humble about this, I am proud of myself. ”
Personal development: Fond of cake making, she has attended a lot of courses on it, wants to open a small bakery or patisserie in the future “I went to a lot of courses, worked in a pastry shop. ‘While I was playing in the Magnificent Century, I did an internship at a boutique patisserie in Ulus for 5-6 months. I learned very good things there. For example, I have very nice recipes for tiramisu, brownie, pie, panna cota. I learned more about how a commercial business is in the kitchen and how fast a brownie should be grown when a restaurant is requested. Butter and flour come in large molds, invoice, delivery note and customer. I wanted to learn on the spot, and it was very enjoyable. Those who arrived were very surprised. The man brings the butter and says, “Sister, I know you from somewhere.” They were also very surprised when serving customers. ”
Mindset: Being famous hasn’t changed much in her life. She thinks the real change as a woman is after the age of 30. “The structure of thoughts, your view of life, your rules and priorities are changing. My friends I met are still the same. My best friends from college have not changed either. I think this is a bit related to his upbringing. I am the way my family raised me. There is no equivalent to being famous in this sense. I think if I did another profession, I would be the same. I’m not sober but always in control. I have an odd self-control. I am at home too. They cannot see me in such stupid, crazy organizations, projects, and movements. I am as a structure. Is there a fault direction? Let’s say when I don’t eat a good meal, my face drops where we go, but I never have big movements. Life is easy with me, I will not cause trouble. ”
Source of happiness: She is happy that her dreams are far above his expectations. “I never started this profession by dreaming big. I let it flow. It was a little coincidental. When it comes to the right people, everything has found its place. I couldn’t imagine it like that if I could dream it. It doesn’t get any better than this. That’s why I’m very happy. ”
The view of love: “When you get married and have a child, the fire of love does not go out, the love continues, but it turns into more trust. For example, I no longer do anything without consulting my spouse. Bedri has security and cleaning companies, managing them for many years. I trust his business intelligence. I need your ideas. ”
Her view of life: It did not affect his job, her life, her attitude, but having children did. She learned to be quicker, more proactive and patient after the children, “I used to wish everything would be finished, now it is not like that. You also educate yourself, when you have a child, you grow up mother-child together. As a celebrity and public figure, I think it’s a good thing to be a good example to people. It’s important not to do anything wrong. As mothers, we have a mission to raise good children. Especially people pay attention to this lately; If you are raising a son, their future behavior towards women will be directly proportional to the morality you give them. As a mission in myself, I have to raise decent sons. ”
Her view on business life: She thinks she has made good use of the opportunities she has faced so far. The right job is like accepting the right project. “If I had not gone to the ‘Day Dreaming’ project to meet on that day, and I had the possibility of not going, everything would have been different. Life. There is of course luck, too. I think I’m in a good place right now; because I did good work. Projects start and end in a very short time now; All of the projects I was involved in were very long-termed. Although I didn’t take a break for a long time, I did a few projects in 10 years. This means that I have been in long term jobs. But I’m aloof to kissing and lovemaking scenes, I don’t play! I prefer not to be in scenes like this after I am a mother. Of course, there are things that I could not do, that I did not do, that I wanted to do. ”
Career plan: In terms of her career, she wants to make a movie at the earliest opportunity. She does not make career planning alone, she has a team; She also consults her family. “But there is also something like that when you read the first script it comes to life. It is very important to feel your character and the credibility of the script. That is what I am reading now. I animated the place, the stage, everything. I even did my intonation. The initial feeling is important, but after that it may not hold. A little bit of fortune. Working hard is also the truth. If I make a drama, I don’t take part in a drama because I won’t be able to spare enough time for my children, but as an actor I shouldn’t have said that. The conditions should not be like this, I should be able to do my job, but unfortunately it doesn’t work. It’s like this now, but acting is my profession. While the kids are growing up, I can be guest acting or a new character in an existing job. ”
Future Dream: She wants to do comedy as she has no chance to show her comedy side on screen. “They always made me cry. People could not see my funny and humorous side because I was playing drama. I would like to give the audience the opposite. As a hobby, I like to draw Geisha paintings. One day I want to open an exhibition. There is a country I want to see too many. We need to see other countries, nations, know people, and know other lives. This is actually one of the things I want most. ”
What has changed in your life after becoming a mother? She gained the ability to chase after the kid in heels! She began to feel that she could accomplish many things at once. She used to not pay much attention to herself, now she cares more about his diet.
Who does he admire? She likes Gülse Birsel, Demet Akbağ and Ezgi Mola, one of the female comedy actresses.
Relationship with nature: She likes to walk by the sea whenever he gets the opportunity.
What does she do at home? She loves to cook, eat and feed. She cooks for relaxation. “But because our house is crowded, cooking with children turns into a rush rather than a joy. You can make a nice, different salad alone, it’s the rehabilitation part, but that’s not what we have at the moment. While visiting the house, I first look at their kitchen. When I was a student, we even had the kitchen built for the rented house in Eskişehir with my mother. The kitchen should be intimate, beautiful and pleasant. Now, in my own home, it is in a location that opens to the pool, the garden, and gets sunlight. I like island kitchens. If we live in a big house, we spend more time in the kitchen. I love kitchen conversations, it is more enjoyable. I like wooden ones, not modern kitchens. ”
How is it with social media? She loves Instagram. “I don’t tweet anything all the time, I don’t like to write comments. I just love to share the moment. Criticism is of course made to me, but I do not go and answer anyone there. Because some are unhappy in their own lives and want to look for a deficit in you. You can’t fight it! ”
What’s her favorite feature? She doesn’t like that she is very unstable. “I am committed to important matters. Should I drink tea or coffee? I am very indecisive about the simple things in life. This is very tiring for me. I am afraid that I will regret my decision. That process is tiring me more. ”
What does it spend money on? She likes to follow fashion and shop, but she never shares the bag or shoes she bought from social media. “I do the shopping within a certain budget anyway, it is never too crazy. I spend a little more money on the bag but not too much on the outfit, I can fit more standard. I don’t want to get in anyone’s eyes; I would be happy to have already bought it. ”
