This week, we hosted model and actress Rukiye Bektaş on the show ‘With Eylül Aşkın…’ presented by Eylül Aşkın on the Türkiye News Portal.

We talked with the beautiful and talented actress, who made confessions such as ‘Hakan Bilgin is my teacher,’ ‘I grew up in a conservative family,’ ‘I am exactly a girl from Central Anatolia,’ and ‘I am the only one in my family to attend university,’ about her acting journey and career goals.

From Music to Modeling, From Modeling to Acting…

The beautiful actress, who expressed that her interest in art began at a very young age and continues to receive professional training in various fields, initially received her education in music. As a result of the training she received, Rukiye Bektaş chose to advance in the field of acting rather than music. She stated, “I received training in instruments and voice. I also did some presenting for a while. While presenting, I met Hakan Bilgin, who became my mentor.” Rukiye Bektaş, who started her career as a model, mentioned, “When a good brand comes along, I collaborate with them. I continue modeling from time to time,” indicating that she keeps the door open for modeling with significant brands.

“I used to imitate a lot as a child. I would constantly appear before my family as a different character.”

The actress from Konya lamented that no one in her family had an interest in the arts, even though she had shown signs of an interest in acting from a young age. She explained that no one in her family discovered or nurtured this talent.

“Acting is like falling in love for me.”

The young actress, who recently made waves with her role as Sibel in the film “Tell Me About Me,” is confident yet modest. She remarked, “I am still in the discovery phase of my career. I have tried to add something from every field of art to my basket. I still have a long way to go,” indicating that she is still discovering herself and has a long journey ahead. Rukiye Bektaş, who does not hold back on her dreams for the future, expressed, “I really want to play the lead role in my own screenplay one day,” and “I would love to play a character who suffers.”

“I dream of acting with Zerrin Tekindor.”

The young actress, who mentioned being inspired by Zerrin Tekindor and following her theater work, admitted that she greatly desires to be in a project with her. Among the names she mentioned, Rukiye Bektaş also spoke about male actor İsmail Keskin, expressing that she would be very happy to be in a project with him as well.

Her Utopian Dream: Acting with Penelope Cruz!

Noting that people often compare her facial features to Penelope Cruz, Rukiye Bektaş expressed her admiration for the famous actress. When asked, “What could be your most utopian dream?” she replied, “I really want to meet Penelope Cruz and act with her.”

Attracting Attention with Her Athletic Physique

Rukiye Bektaş, who is particularly active on Instagram and Twitter, draws attention with her workout posts and athletic physique on Instagram. The actress, who stated, “I have been regularly involved in fitness for 7 years,” shared that she spends her energy on exercising no matter if she is happy, angry, or sad, and that it does her a lot of good.
