Hafsanur Sancaktutan’s TV series: what to watch besides “If You Really Love”
Hafsanur Sancaktutan is a true phenomenon in the world of Turkish TV series. The actress is only 23 years old, but she already has an impressive filmography, an international fan base, and contracts with well-known brands. By the way, not so long ago, Hafsanur announced that she had become the face of the legendary jewelry brand Cartier. The actress appeared in luxurious jewelry at the Venice Film Festival.
The actress was talked about even more when the TV series “If You Really Love” was released, in which Hafsanur plays opposite Kerem Bürsin. The actress instantly skyrocketed to the top of the most discussed stars on social media. But at the same time, she received a wave of negativity and constant comparisons to Hande Erçel.
But let’s go back to the TV series with the participation of the popular Turkish actress. At the moment, she has starred in 6 TV series, almost all of which she had the lead role. I will tell you about each one and recommend what to watch.
Gülperi
Hafsanur first appeared on television as a 16-year-old girl, Fidan, in the TV series “Gülperi.” Her role was minor, but it gave her a good start in her career. Other young talents also opened up in this melodrama: Burak Dakak, Rabia Soyitürk, Buse Meral. During that time, the actress gained not only experience working on the set, but also made good friends.
Love Will Make You Cry
In 2019, Hafsanur Sancaktutan already started her first leading role in her life. She embodied on the screen the image of a brave girl, Ada from the province, who runs away from home and starts an independent life in Istanbul. A young man named Yusuf helps her in this. The series quickly ended due to low ratings. But on the set, Hafsanur met Deniz Can Aktaş. The star couple started a romantic relationship, but later they announced their breakup.
The Last Summer
International success awaited the actress after the role of Yagmur in the TV series “The Last Summer”. The story of a prosecutor, who is forced to protect the son of a mafia boss in exchange for evidence, was very popular with viewers. And the love story between the prosecutor’s daughter and the “mafia prince” increased the number of views of the series by thousands of times.
Between the World and Me
In 2022, Hafsanur Sancaktutan reached a new career peak and signed a contract with the Disney+ streaming platform. She played one of the lead roles in the drama “Between the World and Me”. The actress was at the center of discussions due to the explicit scenes in the series, but this does not bother her at all. Hafsanur is glad that she was able to participate in such a TV show.
In Fluff and Dust
At the end of October 2022, another series with the participation of the actress premiered – the youth melodrama “In Fluff and Dust”. The series is a remake of the American hit “Beverly Hills, 90210”. Hafsanur plays a popular college girl named Derin. On the one hand, it seems that her life is perfect, but in reality she suffers from psychological trauma.
If You Really Love
A TV series that is currently airing. The TV project gained popularity even before the release, thanks to the return of Kerem Bürsin to the screens.
Hafsanur Sancaktutan embodied the image of a marriage scammer named Leyla. In an interview, the actress noted that this role is very different from others. In Turkey, the series has low ratings, but in other countries it has won the love of viewers.**
If you started your acquaintance with Hafsanur with the romantic comedy “If You Really Love”, I recommend watching another great TV series with her participation – “The Last Summer”. And if you like short TV series, don’t miss “Between the World and Me”.
