  • she also has a younger brother, whom she values deeply and she says she truly enjoys being an older sister
  • her main motivation in life has always been to first make herself happy and then her family
• she didn’t have the opportunity to prepare for the character Zeynep, as she went on set just one day after learning she would portray her
  • says she has many things in common with Zeynep; their strongest similarity is the desire to stand on their own feet and she adds that their stubbornness is also very much alike, joking that the nickname ‘(Stubborn) Goat’ applies to both of them
• at first, she could not have predicted that acting training, which she started purely by chance and only to gain experience, would bring her to where she is today
  • while the other alternatives were professions and she might have become a good designer or an academician, acting went beyond being just a profession for her and turned into a passion, which is why she decided to continue on that path
• she is not someone who spends a lot of time actively on social media, as her busy work schedule leaves her little time for it
  • she enjoys reading posts and comments related to her work and follows feedback as much as she can
  • outside of that, whenever she finds time, she likes watching videos and reading articles related to her interests
• says she had no knowledge of the technical side at first and learned everything on set through experience
  • although it was challenging in the beginning, she gradually adapted, continues to learn every day and finds great pride and happiness in seeing the scenes she worked hard on come to life on screen
• she sees acting as an endless journey rather than a destination, so she doesn’t define a single ultimate goal
  • each role and project is a new story for her and her main wish is to do justice to every character and leave a lasting impression on the audience
• she ranked #62 at the TC Candler The 100 Most Beautiful Faces of 2025
