Family: Born in Eskişehir, Bosnian descent on her father’s side. She has an older brother and an older sister. On May 1, 2019, she married Cüneyt Mete, with whom she starred in the TV series “Forgive Me”. “My father is Bosniak and like every girl, my father is my first love. I don’t know if it’s my admiration for her, but it makes me happy to be attracted to her.”
Education life: She completed her primary education in Eskişehir. She settled in Çanakkale in 2000 and completed the remaining 11 years of education in Çanakkale. She studied high school in Çanakkale Fine Arts High School Painting Department. She graduated from Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University, Department of Art Teaching.
The turning point of her career: She started modeling for her photographer friend Sezai Suda during her university years. She took part in the catalog shoots of some stores in Çanakkale. “These were actually purely for the purpose of making money, but then the photos there made me appear on television screens. I’ll never forget when I was in my last year of university, I was in the workshop class, my phone rang. The caller is my dear sister Neşe Nohutçu. She said they were going to start a drama, showed me my pictures and wanted to meet with me, she said. I wanted to act, but until then I had never had a venture. I’ll look ahead after school is over, that’s what I was thinking then. I was excited, of course. Then the job started and I hung around between school (Çanakkale) and work (Ankara). First, I entered the auditions and got the Yağmur character of the TV series “Hayata Beş Kala” broadcast on TRT 1. That show was short lived, she. Then “Beni Affet”. I stuck a movie in between. Someone had some luck somewhere, she was waiting for him. It’s the same for me in Beni Affet. Good thing it is. I had to reject the project 3-4 times because of my nephew’s health problem, but one day the phone call came and we were being discharged from the hospital that very day. Hearing this, casting director Samet Bey said, “Then come to Ankara today.” Tickets etc in an hour. I found myself in Ankara after 4-5 hours.”
The first step into acting: She started her television adventure in 2011 with the character of “Yağmur”, which he portrayed in the TV series “Hayata Beş Kala”.
Which project did it shine with? She attracted attention with her character “Feride” in the TV series “Beni Affet”.
Personality traits: Patient, excited, disciplined.
Mindset: She believes in the importance of her partner in acting. “I saw that, be a good actress as you want, your acting shines as much as the actress in front of you.”
Source of happiness: Her marriage to Cüneyt Mete, whom she met on the set of the TV series “Forgive Me”, is one of her greatest sources of happiness. “We manage to preserve our relationship that started on the set of the movie, thanks to respect, trust and a lot of love.
First feature film: Alper Kaya / Öyle Ya Da Böyle
Her outlook on life: She learned to be patient even though it was difficult at first during the pandemic process. “There have been many moments of unhappiness during the pandemic process. But I knew that this was not for me, it was the result of this process. Maybe not getting used to it, but I started to adapt. I used to love spending time at home anyway, staying at home didn’t force me. I did things to motivate myself and now they have become my routine, I think it will continue. I took a break from painting when ‘Forgive Me’ started. I started painting again and it calmed me in the process. I was doing sports regularly, and yoga accompanied it in this process.”
Career plan: She doesn’t make plans, she lets life flow. “Life has taught me not to plan ahead. That’s why I don’t set goals for myself, people are renewed, they change every day. I am also changing my ideas, my body, my soul. I prefer to draw a path according to change, but there is one thing I am sure of; I’m an actress and I want to stay that way.”
Does she follow fashion? She does not follow fashion, she prefers to wear what suits her. “Fashion is actually too far from me. I mean, it’s not my place to criticize or comment because I don’t understand much, nor do I follow. I don’t wear something because it’s fashionable. If it doesn’t fit your body and soul, it looks so bad that those clothes are on people. But since the stores follow the season’s fashion, when we buy them, we follow them from the edge. I don’t have style, so I know it sounds bad, but I dress the way I feel good that day. So it depends on my mood. Sometimes bohemian style makes me feel good. I like spice tones, boots, fringe accessories, flare or bell-bottom trousers. Sometimes, you will be surprised by the elegant dressing style. Simple and less colorful combinations. My wardrobe essentials are my black and white classic t-shirts and jeans.”
How does it keep its shape? She does sports and pays attention to her nutrition. “I watch my diet and drink lots of water. Other than that, I don’t skip my moisturizer and sunscreen. Argan oil and coconut oil that I bought from Morocco are indispensable. I haven’t dyed my hair for many years.”
