Family: Zaza descent. He was born in Diyarbakır, has 4 sisters and a brother. Her parents separated shortly after hers birth. She spent her childhood years in Ankara with her mother and five siblings. In 2020, she had her second marriage to businessperson Arman Bıçakçı. “My mother raised me and my siblings alone. My dad is gone, but he’s not someone we can talk bad about. He is a father who was not very responsible for his children, but he is a good person. Our house was a lively house with many women, a little Mediterranean, a lot of eastern, warm, very lovable and very offended. My mother learned how to read and write with me while I was going to primary school. He made us all read. Because of my mother, I became someone who was able to relate very quickly to someone who was not like me. It seems that I am not like my mother at all, but inside we are so the same. It is my mother who gives me the ability to understand and love the Other.
Childhood years: She grew up in the Armenian quarter of Diyarbakır. While living in Ankara, she used to go to Diyarbakır on summer holidays. Her uncle’s house in the Wall, with its huge nine-room courtyard, was fascinating to her. “I grew up in a place where there were Turks, Kurds and Armenians, understanding and loving them all. This was instilled in us. Sometimes people say, “When something happened to him, you made a noise and why didn’t you when it happened”. O, this is not for me, there are people in my country! ”
Educational life: She graduated from Ankara University DTCF Theater Department, Acting Division. She also studied singing at Hacettepe University Ankara State Conservatory.
First step into acting: She started her television adventure with the TV series ‘Ferhunde Hanımlar’ in 1999.
With which project did she shine? She drew attention with the character “Gumus Doğan”, which he portrayed in the “Gumus” series.
Personality traits: Stable, family dependent, hardworking and maternal. “I do not like to have insincere relationships hidden behind fancy sentences. Simplification makes my life easier. I would over appreciate what people said. My benchmark now is how they are on the field. I do not like any kind of communication that is in a hurry to express itself for a long time. ”
Social: Activities that she cannot give up in her spare time, writing, reading, cooking, going places he has never seen and trying to learn something he never knew.
Mindset: It does not overestimate the issue of fame. She often remembers that she’s famous when someone gets to know her and comes near her. She does not have a strategy like “looking good”, she lives the way he is. “I’m actually a shy person. I don’t like being in the spotlight, I just like to be watched on stage. And now it’s easy to reach us. Something you share in good faith on social media can be the subject of a fight. We may also behave that way, with the instinct to protect ourselves from this. People are now advising their children: Wear the most beautiful, eat the most beautiful, and let the best be yours. And they think ‘the deluge after me’. On the other hand, it was understood that there was no happiness with money. Why are so many antidepressants used? Why is there no love? Why are there breathing therapies? The more we modernize, the more we become primitive. In an age where you can find all the addresses by asking Google Map, you cannot find the address of your heart. We are all hyperopia. We see others very well in the distance, but we do not see ourselves. That’s why our feet are constantly stumbling. ”
First motion picture: A. Taner Elhan / Acı Aşk
Admires: The superhero of her life, her mother and sisters.
The view of love: “Without transparency, loyalty and trust in the relationship, it is nothing but burden.”
Her view of life: She tries not to be in any situation or community that he cannot be like herself. In her private life, when she lives a consistent life with herself, everything becomes a little easier and unhurried. “I attribute my success to doing my job with passion. It’s an incredible privilege to do what you love. People want to spend time with their loved ones and be attentive. It is inevitable to be rewarded in all kinds of love and labor relations. Empathy and conscience are indispensable in life. Without them, humanity is always half, always incomplete. Being famous is not a profession. Being permanent in this profession does not depend on having millions of followers. What you produce, your view of life, your stance accompany this. ”
Her attitude to business life: She thinks that her profession improves her empathy and her ability to understand what is not like her. “When we get a different text, we first try to understand it and then try to integrate it. Our starting point each time is the question “What would I do if I were in that character’s place and conditions?” The respect of those who are engaged in the arts to people, nature and different identities is somewhat structural, but this type of profession also contributes greatly to the development. I love my profession, but I would like to be a musician. I could have wanted to experience a realm, made both individually and collectively, where every note that reaches all corners of the soul becomes a word. Maybe I would like to be a cook. I get confused when it comes to the opportunity to experience different lives. Fortunately, I have a profession in this life where I can experience every profession. ”
Cinema? Is it theater? Both are very important to her. “My favorite process in theater is so developing, so healing. And whatever I am doing today, what I earn, I owe it to the theater. It’s fascinating that cinema is immortal, and sometimes more truth than reality. ”
Concerns: She considers this increase in the dose of violence as the biggest problem of the age. “It’s not just a male-female issue. In every case we find ourselves asking “What can a person do to a person worse than that?” We are living in the middle ages. We were accustomed to the corpses of children stranded on the shore, the auctioning of women, the constant change of maps, and leaders pretending to be their own. We are terrified at first in every incident that freezes human blood. We always talk and cry for a while. The tip of my lash is always wet. We express our reaction on social media, then maybe attend meetings in one or two places. But we get used to it over time, looking at it as if it were any news. Getting used to is a terrible thing. ”
Role model: Her mother. “My mother is a very strong woman. She was a housewife. When I started primary school, my mother learned to read and write with the literacy campaign. She took up reading in two days. She devoted her life to our education and we all read. It was tough and prescriptive in a way. It was also very funny. Her funnyness also came from her naivety. ‘I took advantage of him in Desperate Housewives. ‘My character in My Destiny also looks a bit like my mother.”
Relationship with nature: She loves living in Istanbul, and enjoys walking in nature whenever she gets the chance. She loves Hidiv Kasrı hiking trail and Maçka Park. “I’m really in love with this city. Wandering inside, getting lost inspires me. No matter how destroyed, his tired face that resists time and lifts his head from under every stone always makes him say ‘ah’. And every time that “ah” turns into a sentence in my heart, in my mind. All producers owe this city, but ironically, it is always consumed. ”
What does he do at home? No matter what time he goes to bed, he surely wakes up at 7 o’clock. “I have cats, they are arousing anyway. I am doing sports. Nowadays, I am writing stories very systematically. Reading. I spend a lot of time with my friends, sister and niece. ”
Favorite city, song, poet, poetry? The poem “Let’s Look at the Sky”, the song “Without Noticing”, the poet Didem Madak, a little Istanbul, a little Diyarbakir, a little Venice. District Balat.
The bedside book? The book that always ranks first in her life: “One Hundred Years of Solitude” by Gabriel García Márquez. “Nikolay Gogol” The Overcoat “that I can offer as a suggestion to those who want to get into the habit of reading books. The Overcoat is a short book, but Russian literature is out of your pocket. ”
