Actor Bülent Polat, who has left a lasting impression on wide audiences with his portrayal of “Şehsuvar” in the TV series Avrupa Yakası and “Gaffur” in Bir Zamanlar Çukurova, has completely left behind city life. The famous name announced on Deniz Sarı's YouTube program that he moved from Istanbul and started living in an isolated village in Çanakkale.
NO ELECTRICITY, NO PHONE
Polat lives in a village approximately 5 kilometers away from the nearest settlement with his wife Duygu Şenoğlu and two children. The actor, who continues his life in this area with no electricity and no phone signal, has left behind all modern lifestyle habits.
A NEW LIFE CLOSE TO NATURE
Polat, who has established a new order with his family on a 6-acre plot of land, spends his days intertwined with nature. The actor, who gathers wood, cooks on the stove, and works the soil, has adopted a simple, production-based life together with his children.
"MY LIFE IS EXACTLY AS I DREAMED"
Sharing his feelings about his new life, Polat said, "The life I have built here is exactly as I dreamed. The fact that my children also love this order makes me especially happy. Because here, there is no phone signal, no tablets, no electricity. We have a stove, we chop wood. We cook our meals on top of the stove. We are in touch with the soil. Since it's time for planting and sowing. Life is the issue."
THE CHANGE IN CHILDREN DREW ATTENTION
The famous actor also emphasized the positive effects of the decrease in his children's connection with technology. Polat stated that contact with nature contributed to both his children's behavior and their success.
