"If My Life Were a Movie, It Would Be Titled 'My Cinema and My Daughter'"

A legendary artist who has etched her name in gold in the history of Turkish cinema, captivating millions not only with her acting but also with her beauty... We’ve finally arranged to meet this master artist—whom I’ve long wanted to interview—on the occasion of Eid al-Fitr. I feel a special excitement because she has agreed to host us in her home. And on the day of our meeting, she greets us at her doorstep with all her grace and hospitality. We begin a delightful conversation for Kelebek with Türkan Şoray, the “Sultan” of our art world, who hasn’t given an interview in many years... (Photos: Murat ŞAKA)
