One of the most beautiful Turkish actresses is Nurgul Yesilchay, whose biography is presented below, has long been familiar to Russian viewers from Turkish television series. Recently, they could see her in the lead role in the new large-scale television project "The Magnificent Century: Kesem Sultan." However, few are familiar with her biography, although there are many who would like to know the details of the personal life of the actress. So, let's start from the very beginning.
Childhood
Actress Nurgul Yesilchay, whose biography is presented below, was born in the Turkish city of Afyon Karahisar in 1976. However, soon the girl’s family moved to Izmir, where she graduated from high school. Already in the years of study, Nurgul stood out among her peers for her beauty and desire to take an active part in all school events where it was necessary to appear on the stage.
Student years
Despite the early love for the stage, first Nurgul Yesilchay, whose biography is of interest to many fans, chose a career as a diplomat and entered the corresponding faculty of the University of Anatolia in Eskisehir. Despite her academic success, the scene continued to attract the girl, and Nurgul continued her education at the drama department of the same university.
After receiving her diploma, she performed several major roles on the stage. Among them, the role of Ophelia in Shakespeare's Hamlet and Blanche in the play Tram Desire. In addition, at the age of 23, the girl began to work on television, and soon the beautiful Nurgul came into the view of filmmakers.
Further career
After receiving some interesting offers, she agreed to leave the theater and starred in 3 Turkish television dramas. The first picture with Nurgul Yesilchay, whose biography was the envy of less successful colleagues, was called “Everything will be fine” and was presented to the audience in 1998. In it, the girl played almost herself and the audience really liked the simplicity and sincerity of the acting.
As for the filming in the cinema, the debut of Nurgul Yesilchay on the big screen took place in 2001. Her talent conquered both the audience and specialists and more experienced colleagues, thanks to which Nurgul won the prize for best actress at the 45th Antalya Film Festival.
Another of the actress's works is the role of the Turkish director Baris Pirhasan in the village history “Adam and the Devil”. This picture can also be considered successful, since in 2007 it was awarded by the jury of the famous Istanbul Film Festival.
The most memorable work
One of the best works of the actress, of course, is the image of Yasemin in the beautiful and drama cinema "Love and Punishment". This television series was shown in many countries outside of Turkey, so Nurgul has long had a rather large army of fans abroad. They are interested in her new roles and personal life.
As for the attitude of film critics to her work, in their opinion, the actress was especially good in the TV series “The Bride”, in which she played the main character Ezo. When working on this television project, Nurgul exerted a lot of strength in order to convey the character and difficult fate of her heroine. The series was a great success and was also shown outside of Turkey.
Biography Nurgul Yeshilchay: husband (former) and son
At the age of 28, already quite successful and famous in Turkey, the actress married the then-popular actor Jem Jezer, who was 17 years older than her. Now he is no longer filming, but at one time he had a large army of fans. Earlier, Jem Jezer was married to Celine Delman and divorced her in order to make an offer to Eshilchay. However, as you know, happiness cannot be built on someone else’s grief, and the marriage with Nurgul was dissolved in 2010.
Judging by the publications in the press, the reason was the jealousy of the spouse, who, at the end of his career, painfully perceived the success of his wife, who, on the contrary, was rising higher and higher professionally every day.
From Jem Jezer, the actress has a son, Osman, who is already 11 years old. A woman adores him and often refuses offers to star in projects, participation in which involves long absences from home.
The role of Kesem Sultan
At the beginning of November 2015, Star TV hosted the premiere of a new television project, which is to some extent a continuation of the series “The Magnificent Century”, popular in many countries, about the rule of Suleiman the Magnificent. Nurgul Yeshilchay, whose biography is already familiar to you, was entrusted with playing the main role of Kesem Sultan, a real historical person, the Valide Sultan under Murad the Fourth and Ibrahim the First. At the beginning of the project, she was performed by a young Beren Saat. And the image of the young Venetian woman, who was gifted to the old omnipotent valida to her beloved grandson and future sultan Ahmed the First in adulthood, went to Nurgul.
She coped with the task perfectly, and the viewer not only in Turkey, but also in Hungary, Georgia, Iran, Indonesia and a dozen countries liked “her Kesem”.
By the way, the beauty of Nurgul Yeshilchay, whose biography, family and personal life arouse genuine public interest, shone even brighter in the film about the life of the harem Ahmed the First thanks to the luxurious costumes that the design designers of the project came up with.
