Family: Her father is a retired civil servant from Muş, her mother from Ağrı and has an aesthetic polyclinic. She was born and raised in Izmir, she has a brother. “My family was very contemporary. I have always been respected and loved. I have a brother. My family has never discriminated between us. My mother, my idol, is one of the prominent business women of Izmir who has proven herself in her work and motherhood. He has a life of TV shows, congresses and interviews. Our aesthetic polyclinic in Bostanlı has been providing pioneering service in its field for twenty years thanks to my mother and the support of my brother. Okan is two years younger than me and is currently studying kinesiotherapy abroad. Fortunately he chose me as his older sister, the most special person in my life. I still laugh with him the most and can rest next to him. “I am extremely fond of my family. Although I live in Istanbul, we are aware of our every moment. My most sensitive issue is my family. ”
Childhood years: She is two years old with her brother. Her childhood passed playing games with him. “I lived my childhood in an extremely happy and loving crowded environment in Izmir, where I played games with my brother Okan from the moment I woke up in the morning until I went to bed at night. Upon the enormous influence of my mother, I learned reading and writing, basic mathematics before starting school, we expressed our feelings by writing down our feelings about an incident with my best friend brother, we read and talked about it in the family, then immediately went out to the street and continued to play muddy games. It has passed in a wonderful breathing interval that I have been trying to hold. ”
Education life: She studied primary education at Emlak Bank Primary School in Bostanlı. She graduated from İzmir Atatürk High School. “Maybe the only thing I fanatic in my life is being a İzmir Atatürk High School. I have always been proud of it, I feel its privilege in every aspect of my life. When I finished high school, I won METU International Relations Department and 9 Eylül University, Faculty of Fine Arts, Department of Acting. Therefore it was my dream to be a small number of players, one of the best acting school I graduated from 9 Eylül University, Faculty of Fine Arts. ”
The turning point in her life? Thanks to her mother, she spent her childhood listening to the TRT Children’s Hour Program with her brother at 09:00 on Sunday mornings. One day, the turning point of her life was when she heard an announcement in the program that “child vocalists will be taken with an exam”. “We applied. I went through some vocational training and qualifications for three months, and then at the age of six I started vocalizing in the “Children’s Hour” program on Izmir TRT Radio. I was making money and making new friends by voicing documentaries, cartoons and commercials. I liked it, and on weekends, I started rehearsals and plays in children’s games under the direction of Zekeriya Hocalar at Karşıyaka Ziya Gökalp Cultural Center. I continued this process in the high school theater. Everyone watching, all my teachers encouraged me to become an actor. Therefore, I didn’t have a sentence saying ‘I will become a doctor when I grow up and become a belly dancer’. I was already working at TRT, I was earning money, it was my job. I did not think of doing another profession. On the other hand, I was very good in my lessons, when I told my mother that I wanted to study acting, I realized that it was a very ordinary decision for me and a terrible decision for her. Upon my mother’s request, I passed the exams of the METU International Relations Department, and of the 9th of September, the GSF Acting Department of my own request. I preferred acting. Even though it was a shame when the subject of METU came up, my biggest supporter and role model was my mother again. During my graduation thesis, the Game Workshop announced that it would be casting. I am already a fan of Haluk Bilginer, I tried my luck to go and choose, I won. As soon as my school was over, I quickly moved to Istanbul to play in the new game of Oyun Atölyesi.
First step into acting: He started her television adventure with the character “Hande” in the series “Vicdan” (Conscience).
With which project did she shine? She drew attention with the character of “Neşe” in the series “Kaçın Kurası”.
Personality traits: Cheerful, sincere, hardworking, idealistic, goal-oriented.
Personal development: She describes herself as ‘mind hyperactive’ and constantly tries to improve herself by learning new things. “As long as I can remember myself, I have always done something related to my profession throughout the day. Watching movies can be reading books. I exercise every day. I watch actors that I obsessively like. I definitely do my maintenance. ”
Social: In terms of her profession, seeing people in other geographies and learning something keeps her very fit. That’s why she likes to visit and see places she doesn’t see in her spare time. “I have a great curiosity for the new and this trend makes my life so much fun. I pick a city I haven’t seen in my spare time, get up and go there for 2-3 days, explore the city, make new friends, collect good stories and return. If I cannot travel, I definitely take a walk every day. I love doing sports. To improve my language even more, I go to English course and started doing tap dance. It is my routine to attend festivals, to visit a good exhibition, to watch a good movie, to start and write my new book that I have chosen with care. Also, with my close friends, we are doing a day that we call “not to die”, being influenced by the second new trend in literature. Also, my daily necessity is to talk to my mother and brother.
Mindset: “I have a prayer:‘ God save me from the desire for love, approval or appreciation. Any relationship in which these worries and expectations come into play harms us and everything we are in contact with, the ego comes into play and drives us away from the “being” state. When we are free from all of these, we live in our most authentic state, which is our happiest state. So what I often remind myself and my environment is: Everyone is unique. Everyone is as complete and perfect as they are.
A source of happiness: Having the opportunity to work with master artists such as Haluk Bilginer, Yılmaz Gruda, Ayten Uncuoğlu is one of the biggest sources of happiness. “Over time, other great masters such as Erkan Can, Cem Davran and Perran Kutman were added to these names. I had the chance to establish a master-apprentice relationship with really big, very good, admired names that wanted to work hard, thank you for that. My opinion is that everyone who comes into my life is a miracle for me. ”
First motion picture: Kerem Çakıroğlu / Olur Olur
The view of love: “One only needs is to love. Neşet Ertaş, whom I always listen to very fondly, has a word. It is an earring in my ear too. “When love ends, then people get tired,” he says. Everything that I connect with pure love and passion is love, and my loves are radically connected, all together depend on me. Love is a state of being in a way that provokes all my senses, enhances and enhances my world, in which I surrender to the flow and do it without fear. ”
Her view of life: She does not evaluate her happiness on the basis of work, materiality and career. She loves working and producing. “I am a person who does not talk about myself in the third person, tries to get closer to myself, to be one with myself, I am a person who is grateful every day for living in this life without evaluating my happiness, peace, my existence through work, material, career. I try to build my life on loving and living with love. I am very committed to my profession. I love working, producing and meeting new people this way. I am extremely fond of my family. Although I live in Istanbul, we are aware of our every moment. My most sensitive issue is my family. I guess my most defining feature is being cheerful. My fuel is joy. Of course I have fears, but I am trying to minimize them, there is a saying in our land, “May God save what he fears”. I am at a time when I learned to say goodbye one by one without fear, resistance, and permission. I am allowed to be afraid or to be fearless. I am on the road like everyone else, I walk from learning to learning. ”
Perspective on business life: In every new project, she tries to be intent and open to learn a lot from many people we do not know. “Of course, there are many things that I observe, from human relations, stage manners, how the job should not be done, to family life, but the common feature of the actors that I respect and admire so much is that they act with the instinct to play, not just with the mind, but the tendency to play with the things they love. This motive makes the actor ageless, timeless and therefore eternal. This is the biggest contribution I have observed in the stream. My endeavor is to internalize and preserve this observation. I am very happy to be acting. There was a life I was aiming for in the future, but now I wake up from the state of not living that life and saying “I spend my life in the most productive, beautiful, happy and enjoyable way”. I am happy every time I work and produce.
Career plan: She wants to be an actress known to the world. “I have that potential. World stars started at an early age like me and came to a place with the right people and the right journeys. So why not. There are very successful directors and talented actors in Turkish cinema. “How can a person who does not know my language understand some scenes” when I work for the “Saniye” character. Then I see, the series was sold to 26 countries. I would like to work on an international project.
Ercan Kesal adapted the novel “Nasipse Adayız” to the film, I am the leading role in that film.
The film will be shown in many festivals. The world is small, why not. ”
Dream of the Future: There are some photographs in her heart about the future, which she ascribes to her atmosphere, that she feels very good in and excites her very much when she dreams. “I imagine myself playing games for the rest of my life. For example, I want to try to create different characters in geographies and to act in movies in different countries of the world. I aspire, I am willing and volunteer to play exciting characters that I can share my experience with, to travel with the movies I have played, to relate to the new one at any moment, to discover and to transfer my experience until the last moment.
Concerns: She tries to take part in social responsibility projects as much as she can. “For a long time, I am preparing my friends who have no financial means but want to be an actor for school. I am reading books to children in Kuzguncuk. Van, giving children drama lessons Education Foundation in cooperation with Turkey. I am very open on this subject, I would love to make people happy within my abilities. My biggest goal is to take a decisive and assertive path towards the target without breaking or spilling. ”
An unforgettable memory: She can’t forget a day when she had to take the subway to the premiere of her movie because of traffic. “I went to the gala by subway but of course it was not planned. I don’t think anyone would go that way with a white dress with a tail, thin heels, and too much makeup to get on the subway. I had a live broadcast interview to catch up and the traffic was incredibly busy. I didn’t want to be late, I threw myself on the subway, and when I saw the poster of the movie on the subway, I sat in front of it and said, ‘Well, let me take a photo. It was a much more fun and wonderful memory for me than driving in a private vehicle. ”
Role model: It imitates not only colleagues, but also many people who are very good at their jobs and who are doing different professions. “Anyone who has blended his creation and his work with his life, who is loyal to his job, who is hardworking and constantly new, and who continues his being despite everything, including a tree. Cate Blanchett’ from Mardin in Şahmeran master Tacettin the Taurus Mountains in establishing Turkey’s first female theater group, the film attracted illiterates from Kocak, emerging technologies, despite all the drawings are still hand-makes the world’s largest anime director contacted until Miyazaki Everything I do is inspiring for me. Chekhov has a saying: “If you want to work on your art, work on your life.” How could it get better than this? Anyone who asks the question and continues on his way is worth being an example for me. ”
How is she with social media? She has not been very good with technology as long as she can remember, her relatives have always done her job. “My best friend opened my social media accounts close to being out of fashion. My mother is admirably better at this than me. I would be ashamed to write something or post a photo like that, it would make no sense to include someone I don’t know in my privacy. However, as I saw the miracles happening thanks to social media, I started to adapt quickly to that world because I love miracles. It is a magnificent opportunity where you get extremely useful and important feedback about your business, socialize, develop, quickly follow the “new”, share your name, voice, creation and thus multiply. It’s a fun third eye for me, in which I move more comfortably as I stop judging people. Thanks to social media, it was not impossible, thanks to funding, you can shoot your movie and invite Pharrell to your party. I now see it as a world of endless possibilities. ”
Does she follow fashion? She likes to dress the way she wants to feel that day. She likes to be attentive in her clothing, suitable for her body structure and sporty chic. “In my most careless state, I prefer to make what I wear with accessories belong to me. However, I am very unplanned about shopping. I follow the fashion, but I am bored with trying something in the cabin and walking around the store. That’s why I’m far from being a strict shopaholic. Fortunately, my styling friends support me. I am very sensitive and passionate only when buying shoes because I am from Izmir. ”
Favorite thing: Her respect for her job and discipline.
Her dislikes feature: She gets lost in details. “Sometimes those details start taking my whole life. I have to file my workaholic state. ”
What does she do at home? She is good with the kitchen, she likes to cook. “I cook my favorite dishes whenever I feel like it. I make great fish. I also prepare a very good breakfast. I also cook good Aegean food.
Which movie was she affected by? “Kramer vs. Kramer” is a movie she’ll never get bored of watching. ‘The Godfather’ and ‘Fish Tank’ are among her favorite movies.
Favorite directors: Asghar Farhadi, Michael Haneke and Emin Alper.
