She settled in Iğdır with her mother and grew up there with her grandmothers and aunts. Her mother, had her second marriage when she was 9 years old. She had a brother 15 years younger than her from this marriage. “Actually, when I was married, there was no father concept in my life. We chose our own path with my mother. We moved away from Izmir and its surroundings and settled in Iğdır, where my grandmothers lived for a long time. My mother led me to social activities, and with her contribution, I became a child who played the guitar, played handball and played theater. My mother tried very hard to make me happy. On the other hand, it was psychologically supported. When my mother got married for the second time, I struggled a little at first. However, İlker, my current father, I call him my real father, made my mother very happy. I had a brother 15 years younger than me. Actually, the concept of family in my life started that way. Then he entered my acting life. I started to throw everything I could not express myself on the stage. I calmed down. ”
Childhood years: She had a nomadic but colorful childhood. It has shifted much. It has had many ups and downs. She had a lot of experience as a child, but when she looked, she saw that she had a childhood that would benefit adult Selin. “Until adolescence, they used to say ‘You have beautiful eyes.” I also thought my eyes always made me special and beautiful. However, in my adolescence, I suddenly became a joke among my friends because of my eyes. But now I’m eating the bread of my eyes! I love expressing myself with my looks. ”
Education life: She completed her primary, secondary and high school education in İzmir, she received ballet education until the age of 8. She came to Istanbul at the age of 18 after completing his acting education at the Izmir State Theater. She studied Cinema & TV at Istanbul Bilgi University Faculty of Communication.
The turning point of her life: A traffic accident at the age of 8 and the loss of her best friend from a brain hemorrhage changed the course of her life. “I was eight years old. I was doing ballet and my dream was to be a ballerina. But I was caught under a city bus running down the street. I spent six and a half months in the hospital. There was bruising on my foot, it reached the point of cutting. I have had many surgeries. Miraculously, a doctor from Switzerland saved my life with a new experimental method. I could not dance again. But the worst was the day I lost my best friend. He had a brain hemorrhage five years ago. From then on I started thinking that I should do all I wanted to do. ”
First step into acting: She started her television adventure with the series ‘Deaf Room’ (Sağır Oda).
With which project did she shine? She drew attention with her “Özgür” character in the series “The Angels”.
Personality traits: It has the characteristics of the Gemini sign, it has instant transitions. While laughing at something with laughter, she can suddenly sit down and lock in one spot. Or she can suddenly dance while sitting calmly. “I am fond of my freedom. I defend my own truth too much, I am stubborn. But I have a Selin inside of me that is far beyond what people see me. I have the potential to be a little too emotional, obsessive, upset about everything. I never show this from the outside. I am a walled person. ”
Social: She does not leave the house much, she is not a very social person.
Mindset: She does not prefer to be visible. The reason she is not there like her colleagues in her generation is her insecurity and fears. “I am not someone who trusts life and those around me. I prefer to live safely in a limited space. The more I got recognized, the more I closed myself. Anyway, my problem in life is to be known for my acting. I am one of those who believe that everyone has a time. I know the time will come when I will be in the middle rather than putting myself forward. ”
First motion picture: Şerif Gören / Ay Büyürken Uyuyamam
Look at love: “When I fall in love, I become a butterfly. It feels like everything in the world is beautiful. I don’t know if I have ever really fallen in love, but if I like someone very much, if I feel high, especially if it has a reward, every bit in the world starts to look good to me. When I start to love someone, I find everything in the world likable. ”
Her view of life: “I used to always prefer to blame myself. “It would be better if I did it like this”. Now I understand that what actually happened has nothing to do with me. In the flow of life, what happens is happening. Now I have a journey of how I can find better. ”
Her view of business life: She defines acting as the most sacred area where she says what she cannot say. When choosing a project, she attaches great importance to the story. The story sizes everything and all you have to do is add life to the character you will play, put its lines and corners. If the story is good, you will experience the greatest satisfaction in the world in the character creation process. Also, the variety and the ability to play any color is satisfying. I’m not the only role person. I would like to play everything and touch different lives. ”
Career plan: Feels better when playing drama. She always imagines hierelf in drama. “They always played strong women while playing comedy, I never played a naive and loser girl. Let’s see what happens next? I have no distinction like a bad, good, painful woman. I want them to see all of me. Actually, I want to tell trouble. For example, they never played an innocent girl for me, I wonder about her. But I don’t know how to be an innocent girl with these eyes. ”
Future Dream: Her biggest expectation from the future is health and peace for herself, her family and their loved ones. “Also, to stand firmly behind the decisions I make and to develop myself both spiritually and professionally. I have no expectations from acting, but we can say I have a wish. Whatever I deserve, whatever is right for me. ”
Who does she admire? She loves Ahmet Mümtaz Taylan and Hüseyin Avni Danyal. “If we go to distant lands, I’m sick of Cate Blanchett and Penelope Cruz. We can add a pinch of Daniel Day-Lewis and Adam Sandler on top of it. Let’s not forget Hugh Laurie.
What does she do at home? She prefers to be at home during the rest of the set, and likes to cook well with the kitchen. It is assertive in pastries and olive oil dishes. “I stop when I’m not working. I talk a lot to myself, something is always going on in my head. I am weighing yesterday, planning tomorrow. I am a person who thinks too much. I’m obsessed, I’m a perfectionist. I wear it to the role, I wear it to clothes, I wear it to makeup. I just want to stop when I’m empty because I think too much. Apart from that, I read, listen to something, watch movies. I talk to them at the point where I say “You have become very asocial, your friends will be offended at you”. ”
Which movie was he affected by? Whiplash
The musician she wants to watch live the most? Avishai Cohen
Most influenced theater play? There are many games that he likes, but the game he has been most impressed with in recent years is “Güzel Şeyler Bizim Tarafta”.
