This week’s guest on the Haber Bahane program in the Haberler.com studio, hosted by Gökay Kalaycıoğlu, was former Miss Turkey and actress Aydan Şener. She talked about the great fame she achieved with the TV series Çalıkuşu, which aired in 1986.

"I ACHIEVED A FAME UNLIKE ANY OTHER WITH ÇALIKUŞU"

The famous actress, who described the great fame she gained from the TV series Çalıkuşu, which aired in 1986, said, "I came down from a very high place. With Çalıkuşu, there was nothing that required me to fight for something at the wolves' table. I already came down with such a fame from the top of all of them. This is a fact; I am not saying this to boast. It was a very great fame, but honestly, it is not a fame that I can show a similar one to in today's world. Therefore, neither did anyone approach me, nor did I approach anyone. I was not bothered much." she stated.

"I COULD HAVE EARNED MUCH MORE MONEY"

Expressing that she did not have professional ambitions, Şener said, "I could have earned much more money, I could have worked much harder, but this is a matter of choice, Gökay. I mean, it’s a matter of structure and choice, but sometimes I think like you do. You are right; it’s an incredible competitive environment, especially after the 2000s. But I chose this, and despite that choice, I am grateful that I have been able to come this far, to be permanent, to have a place in people's hearts, and to still be respected. Of course, I earned my money, but as I said, it could have been much more." she said.
