A MESSAGE FROM
TVLOUNGETR'S
CREATOR
"life is full of oppourtunites only if you dare
to risk .
TvLoungetr is one of the biggest risks i have
taken in my life and i am so happy i did.
Turkish shows are really popular in
countries around the world however some of
us may not understand their beautiful
language i was for sure one of those people i
used to seenews and photos about Turkish
celebraties but couldn't understand so my
inspiration for starting tvlounge was to
create an English based platform for foreign
fans and give them the same experience as
Turkish fans.
we are at the beginning of the road but i have
big plans one of which was to have a monthly
digital magazine in which we interview one
star i am very excited to start this journey
our first issue is hosting the very sweet young
and talented actress melis sezen .
hope you enjoiy
lots of love *S*

Cagatay ulusoy
shining star
Like many other male actors he stepped into the acting career by
winning in the best model of turkey competition .
he reached fame by a series called "Feriha" even to this day its one
of the those unforgettable series and emir the character he played
is still remembered by many people .
After this sucessful series he came back to our TV screens with
Medcezir which was also a huge success and the series has been
sold o many other countries which is why Cagatay is a well
known Turkish actor not just in turkey but in other countries too .
personally I think medcezir was such a complete series filled with
action , drama , romance and all the characters were written so
well they all had their own stories and past which I believe its
important in attracting viewers .
Recently Cagatay starred in the popular series "icerde" which was
also one of turkey's most watched series this yea and I have to say
he showed his amazing talent and skills.
As for his movies the most poplar one is delibal which he played
with Leyla Lydia tugutlu and I have to say the story , the acting ,
the production was absolutely perfect and on point if you haven't
watched this movie I highly recommend it
Overall Cagatay has only played in a few series yet in every single
one he has been sucessful so without doubt he is one of turkeys
shinning stars .

serenay sarikaya
Young Star
Serenay sarikaya I saw her for the first in a series called "lale devri" she
played Yesim's character for about 2 season and at such a young age
she proved herself and her acting skills to everyone that's why after
that she is only climing the ladders of success she then came back to
our screens with another strong series "Medcezir" we saw her as "mira"
and yet again she put all her efforts in and they did pay off , with
medcezir having 2 seasons with very good ratings all along .
Now she is starring in turkey's first internet series called Fi which is
written based on the Fi Ci Pi books and to your surprises she is pulling
all her props out again , it amazes that someone at such a young age
can be so successful.
Beside this her lively personality and natural beauty also attracts
everyone to her sweet heart , in all the interviews that I have seen of
her she has been herself and that makes her even more attractive as
they say beauty comes from within Serenay definitely has beautiful
heart.
She has also been loved by commercial brands such as mavi the
clothing brand she was the face of their advertisement for 2 years and
currently she is working with the shampoo brand head and shoulders .
She also filmed her first movie called "ikimizin yerine " last year which
received a lot of attention and good reviews .
This girl is also talented in other things as well for example singing
which we saw in medcezir dancing in Fi and many more which she is
keeping private I'm sure .
I think turkey is very proud to have someone like her in it cinema she
is real diamond in my opinion keep her safe turkey .

Melis
Sezen

In short tell us a little bit
about yourself .
I am 21 years old , i am in
the third year of studying
media and visual arts at
koç university at the same
time i do acting and now i
am playing as ebru in
‘siyah inci’.
In what kind of road and at pint do
you think you are .
I am at the beginning of the road and
I believe this road will be very hard
yet very beautiful and rewarding.
How did you decide to be
an actress
Acting was my dream job. I
use to act the scenes I liked
from the movies I use to
watch and imagine that i
am that character. When I
was 12 I was introduced to
theatre plays when my
mum took me to Müjdat
Gezen theatre and
throughout high school I
continued to be involved in
theatre plays when I went
to university I wanted to
perform in front of the
cameras too and now I am
working hard and putting
all my efforts in to show my
best performance.

How do you find the character ebru
that you are playing now is it hard o
play a bad character?
Ebru is a character that lives its
emotions in three dimension very
deeply and in a sick manner . Her love
and passion has blinded her and so
without knowing the limit she will do
anything.
Even though she plans and thinks about
every detail before making any move the
outcome does not always go to her plan
and things fall apart but she uses all of
her jealousy and anger to get herself
together and make a new game.
Playing as ebru is very interesting and
fun for me because when i am playing
ebru i completely come out of my own
character if i was in similar situations
ebru will do the things i would never do
so this helps me to know and
understand myself better and at the
same time also gives me a great
opportunity to improve my acting.
Do you remember you first day how
did it go ?
My first set day was at Hayat Bazen
Tatlidir series i had so much fun that i
was never this sure about being at the
right place ! Of course our directors
-Hamid Alkan amazing energy and the
fact that most of the actors were young
and also excited had a big impact too .
Your role in Hayat Bazen
tatlidir was a good character
but now you are playing a bad
role what kind of reactions
are you receiving ?
Hayat Bazen Tatlidir’s Asya
was actully a negative
character in the fact that
beside the people she loved
and cared about she had a
attitude towards most people
and looked at everyone in a
humiliating way but falling in
love with Loçko showed her
loving and caring side ,
because of this at first I
received negative comments
but then i saw how everyone
started liking her and that
made me very happy.
However if we come to ebru i
have not heard anyone who
likes her because of her sick
and hatred moves everyone
hates her nevertheless seeing
negative comments about
ebru makes me happy because
it means that i have been
successful in making them
believe ebru.

to play ?
