Alara Bozbey, Ecem of 'Kızılcık Şerbeti': 'I learned Turkish from news bulletins'

The program, whose format belongs to Sertaç Akkaya, hosted Alara Bozbey, who plays Ecem in the series Kızılcık Şerbeti.

Bozbey, the daughter of a Lithuanian father and a Ukrainian mother, stated, "The best place to learn correct Turkish with proper diction is news bulletins. At first, I was speaking with such formal Turkish that I even struggled to connect words when ordering at a restaurant; it was very difficult. I was speaking like a news anchor."

'MY FINGERTIPS WERE TREMBLING'

The famous actress also expressed the excitement she felt during her first theater play with these words:

"I was so nervous during my first theater play that I wanted to quit on the night of the premiere. My fingertips were even trembling from the excitement. They convinced me to stay, but I don't remember anything from that night. I don't know how I performed or how I went out on stage..."
