Family: Born and raised in Ankara, she has an older sister. “I go to Ankara very often. Our house there always lives and I hope it will always live. I always state that I am from Ankara. Even at the end of my mail addresses, there is always a 06. I am attached to the people I love, the places I love, but I am not addicted. There were times when I was rebellious in my youth. To say young means rebelliousness anyway. I doubt the youth of the unruly youth. But the dose of this rebellion and the issue of dominating without being noticed falls on the family. Applause on this subject should go to my mother. When my mother came to her place, the classical Turkish mother became our problem partner, our friend we had fun with. I still call my mother ‘my best friend’. My mother has determined the place of love and respect very well and she has dominated us in our own free space without notice. Even in my decision to change the city suddenly, my dear mother said ‘we’ll take a solution’ and took my household items. My mother is like an angel. I can’t pay for it. ”
Childhood years: She grew up playing games in a house with a garden, on a treetop, on the street. The passion for acting started when she was a kid. “I was a humanist kid who haunted a neighbor’s tree to enjoy the pleasure of eating fruit from the trees, even just to get angry, and who loved nature and animals, who had a place to play and ride until they turned black. I still have scars on my legs that made me childish. Our biggest fun with my sister was to write and play radio theater and record them on tape. We would fill a basin with water for the sound of the sea or we would fill a bowl of rice and make the sound of walking on the beach. We would prepare sketches. Later, I chose acting, and my sister was the director. There were no computer games at that time. We were the founders and players of our games. First of all, everyone is born actor from childhood. We start with the games. Everyone has an acting urge in it. TRT had Children’s Hour in 1982. I was in there. It was a unit that trained from childhood to use in radio theaters. I started with dubbing since I was 7 years old. Children’s roles from childhood. I always grew up in theater actors. We grew up on Ankara radio. Let’s always suck it was theater or painting. Something that develops as I paint. So if those who say they have no talent should start doing something. I painted the pictures of the whole class for years in school time. I would try to do it according to everyone’s level. ”
Education life: She graduated from Bilkent University Music and Performing Arts Department.
First step into acting: She started her television adventure in 1993 with the TV series ‘Ferhunde Hanım ve Kızları’.
With which project did she shine? She attracted attention with the character “Serpil”, which she portrayed in the series “Ayrılsak da Beraberiz”.
Personality traits: Animal lover, in love with every branch of art, happy as they produce something rather than consuming, preferring not to give up but repair, be positive and solution-oriented, but also positive, practical and humorous people, love to laugh, have fun, keep the time vein. She has a stubborn and grumpy personality, sometimes childish, who always adopts being honest with herself as her life philosophy. “I used to get more angry. I am more moderate and understanding now. I feel my empathy getting a little stronger. It is true that people mature with each passing year. I have certain rules. I am not an irregular, overhead, libertine living. I’m not a hippie-style person. I have no electricity with such people. ”
Mindset: The purpose in life is to live without losing the child and love in herself. “I think everyone should be honest with each other and first of all, they should be honest with themselves. At this time, especially people are thinking about their own interests. I pay attention to my life in the world of fame. I have no nightlife. I always try to choose good jobs. There are those who are like soap bubbles and those that suddenly glow and flash. They come up with something sensational and then it ends. I don’t want a life like that. I have no such thing as let the moon shine, everybody talk about me. I am a more reserved and shy person. ”
Source of happiness: She is happy to be in the TV series ‘Ferhunde Hanım ve Kızları’, where she had her first acting experience. “In ‘Ferhunde Hanım ve Kızları’, I see a great effort in a period when no technical means exist so much. That labor was lovingly done every day. We shot 1200 episodes, it’s easy to speak! I started at the age of 17, I finished at the age of 23. We had neither costume sponsors nor hairdressers nor make-up artists. We would even take care of our continuity ourselves. The audience felt that love, that effort, that warmth. While the series of the previous period is forgotten, ‘Ferhunde Hanım ve Kızları’ has never been forgotten. At that time, I was studying theater, but I can say that I graduated from Bilkent University Theater Department and I graduated from Ferhunde Ladies School. ”
The look at love: “Love is nonsense. The biggest stupidity done while in love is falling in love. Love is a fad, I think. I absolutely do not believe in the existence of love at this time. People choose a partner for themselves to energize for a while, just like choosing an energy drink from the market. There is no such thing as love, what matters is what you add to each other on the same frequency. Even if the man with whom I could not chat for hours or learn anything, even if he has the most beautiful eyes in the world, he does not attract my attention. Especially after one year of age, a person has a clear pattern and even minutes do not pass with a person who does not fit that pattern. ”
Her view of life: She thinks that the formula for happiness passes through being honest with herself. “I think the reasons for happiness-unhappiness, good-evil vary for everyone. But I think his simplest formula is simply to be honest with yourself. A person never loves or trusts someone who lies to him or deceives him. If you are the one who lied and deceived, can someone who does not love himself and who does not trust himself, who does not believe be happy, can someone else be good? At first he is doing harm to himself. At first; your conscience has to be one with your life. Both on behalf of others and what you want and don’t want to do in your life. Neither with yourself will remain in chaos nor with anyone else. I like to be honest and respect myself before life. Besides, I also have small games. For example, when I get bored for no reason, or when I fall down as energy, when I get tired, I play games by myself. For example, I say, this is your last day in the world, there is no such thing as tomorrow. Immediately, an energy pours into me, I see the sky differently, the birds are different, everything is colored suddenly. In different ways like this, I try to motivate myself in any situation, no matter what. ”
Perspective on business life: She thinks that being a theater background in the sector adds value to the person. “People who do theater become more disciplined. There is a labor there, we are waiting, we are working or something. Concentrating on that role, waiting calmly. I am saying among the young people, it is necessary to take that discipline. Your dough and yeast become stronger. There is no sudden fame. Your goal is just acting. Oh, I’m out of TV, my fans don’t have a situation. As a team, we are trying to remove that scene from the game. Theater strengthens the personality of the person. I take care to watch myself. I will feel like this, not so that the audience can see me or like it. I sit and watch it, I wish I would play this place like this. I always think of them. I don’t like watching myself, I always watch with excitement and always criticize. But I have to watch. I’m not doing this job for fame, I do it for 70 percent acting and 30 percent for money.
Career plan: The fact that she has not been on screens for nearly 30 years but has never been in a movie is attributed to her dislike of the project proposals. “There is no reason why I am not in the cinema, fortune. It did not come in an offer as intense as the TV series. Whether I chose him or not, it did not happen. As you know, not many films are made. I also did not like the offers I received. I look at the cinema more delicately. I want something good. In the selection of the project, although the scenario loses its form over time, due to the long-term episodes, attention to the credibility of the scenario, the depth of the character, the depth of the character, the production and the cast, even though the character constantly repeats itself over time due to these long periods. I am. I want to play a comedy and then have a drama. It is better to go with this order. I love comedy. I would also like to play in a period drama or even an action drama. We gamers don’t get enough. Sometimes I say ‘I’m broke, I don’t play’ it’s better. When I’m accepting roles, I don’t think about money. ”
Future Dream: She wants to have children. “I would like to have a child and be a mother. Because it’s a gift. I’d like to get a theater award. Professionally, I want to act in a period film or series, which is about fantasy, action and an event that happened in history, as well as the subjects he fell in love with him and he fell in love with the other. I want things that challenge my imagination, research and observation. ”
Her greatest passion: She loves ballet and music. “I think the best things in life are music, dance, colors, sun, sea. If I wasn’t an actor, I would like to be a ballerina or a violin virtuoso. I also like to paint. I think I would prefer to choose a branch of art again. I love to sing. I always say. But I don’t say anything in the environment and I get excited. I would be incredibly happy. I look very strangely at a person who does not sing. Music is a gift given to us. But my sister always says ‘please, shut up, I’ll give you money’. So I don’t know, I guess my voice is bad. I started the violin. I love to listen to the violin. I also wanted to play. I said let me begin. Starting at the age of 7 is actually to learn that grip. Otherwise, it can do harm. I was doing fine. I ripped my finger tendon. My finger had come to the point of breaking. I was obsessed with it. I was practicing violin for 6-7 hours non-stop. When I get stuck on something, I want to do it until the end. I could not bend my finger so much. I can move it now. I will start again. ”
How is she with social media? She uses Instagram. “I don’t share every special moment on Instagram. Some of them share their every moment. I’m not good with such selfies or something. ”
What can not tolerate? She does not like very unfamiliar people. “I cannot tolerate people who talk a lot, are selfish, who talk like a machine gun without giving them a chance, who are said about everything negative, who complain about their problems. I always think positive after negative. He always believes there is good for bad things. Thank God, I pray. If something is not happening, it is the will of God. After a while, it is necessary to surrender to the will of Allah. ”
What’s her biggest craze? Night diving “It’s a great feeling to hear the sound of his breath downstairs. It is more beautiful than under the water. I dived to 20-odd meters. ”
Why would she be unhappy? An undemocratic set environment, egotistical, complex people. People digging each other’s slanders, greed and disrespect make him unhappy.
Does she follow the fashion? She likes to shop, but she does it without losing herself too much. She prefers to wear what suits her. “Over time, I know better what suits myself and what does not, and which part I can use differently. I used to buy unnecessary things that I did not know what to do, but now I have started to learn to use a little bit and use it differently. I also cut, mow, and change accessories when I’m bored, it is very enjoyable. I do the same for home decoration. For example, you can easily put a coffee table that you are bored with into the form you want. There are paints and transfer prints that you can dye very easily. It is very enjoyable to give new energies. But if you say something I can’t stand, I enjoy shopping for shoes and bags more like every woman. ”
How does she keep her shape? She has a sporty structure. Whenever she has time, she takes care to do sports at home. “Being a sportsman is more than just doing sports. Being a sportsman means being fair, respectful, helpful, disciplined, ambitious but not vengeful, someone who can shake the hand of a playmate and be honest. In this sense, I am definitely a sportsman. I feel offended and at peace with sports. When I work hard, I cannot go to the gym. I only do a few of the most nervous but beneficial moves at home; squat, lunge and shuttle versions. For example, legs can be worked on the counter even while preparing a meal in the kitchen. ”
