Kanal D's record-breaking series, Uzak Şehir, continues to be talked about for its characters as well as its striking story.

Kanal D’s record-breaking series, Uzak Şehir, continues to be talked about for its characters as well as its striking story. Master actor İlkay Kayku, who plays the character of ‘Fidan’ in the series, an aggressive and loud mother who can set the world on fire for her children, made groundbreaking statements about her private life. The successful actress, who has played the role of a self-sacrificing mother on the screen many times, explained clearly for the first time why she did not want to be a mother in real life in Hürriyet’s Tight Talk program.

Here is İlkay Kayku’s great trauma from his childhood and the incredible gap between him and the character of Fidan… Why Didn’t the Mother of the Screens Choose to Have Children in Reality? İlkay Kayku has played the roles of women fighting for their children in many TV series so far. The audience has always adopted her as a ‘mother’. However, the 54-year-old actress never chose motherhood in her own life. Stating that the reason for this has nothing to do with constantly playing the role of a mother, Kayku admitted that the real reason is based on her childhood years and the family structure in which she grew up.

The actress, who was born into a small family of tradesmen from Kastamonu, summarizes those days with these striking words: “I never had an ambition to become a mother. When we were little, we were like Italian families. We were four siblings, I had a lot of cousins, and they all lived with us. It was a very crowded house.” This crowded and noisy home environment left deep scars on the actor’s inner world. Kayku explains his longing for silence with the following memory: “My mother used to tell me that when I was little, she would go to the bottom of the big balcony and find me crying, saying ‘Mom, please be quiet for a while’…

I don’t like loud noises at all.” Incredible Contrast Between Fidan and İlkay Kayku: “It Was Difficult to Understand a Woman Who Screamed” The character of Fidan in the TV series Uzak Sehir portrays the profile of a woman who sees every means as permissible to protect the future and social status of her children, who constantly shouts, screams and fights. İlkay Kayku, on the other hand, has the exact opposite character of Fidan.

In his own words, he prefers silence, serenity and a quiet life. He even states that even during his marriage, which ended recently, he and his ex-wife did not raise their voices even once, and that they parted in a very civilized and quiet manner. Kayku expresses the difficulty he experienced when he first read the character of Fidan with the following words: “It bothered me that he was too loud:” “I thought his mind was not working.

It did not make sense for me to expect different results by always doing the same things. I thought that if his intelligence was average, he should try different ways other than shouting.” “We Have Nothing in Common:” “I am nothing like Fidan. He is a person of my country who tries to protect his own social and economic conditions for his children. He is not a bad person, but his method of finding goodness is to constantly shout.” Fact That Surprised the Audience: She is Actually a Very “Cool” Woman!

Although the audience knows her with Fidan’s traditional and authoritarian attitude, İlkay Kayku is a very modern, “cool” and free-spirited woman with her tattoos, short hair, natural hair that she hasn’t dyed since her youth, and her camping/caravanning background. The fact that he so convincingly plays Fidan, who makes heaven and earth shake for his children in the series, is the biggest proof of how strong Kayku’s acting talent is.

İlkay Kayku, who in real life escapes from the noise and takes shelter in nature with his caravan and lives a peaceful life with his tattoos and cats, seems to continue to upset the audience with his aggressive mother figure on the screen.
