EARLY LIFE
She is one of nine siblings and was fostered to a different family as a child. "I have eight brothers and sisters, so my family gave me to a foster family because they could not afford to raise me as well." In 2020 she organised renovations to her birth mother's house with the support of the governor and mayor of the Carsamba district in Turkey. She had previously stated in 2017 that it was her ambition to buy her family a home. "My mother only wanted a kitchen, but I renovated the house completely. I am very happy for her. I hope I will make it even better in the future." (aa.com.tr, 03 Oct 2020; sporx.com, 03 Dec 2017)
