Doğa Bekleriz

Doğa Bekleriz — Biography

Doğa Bekleriz is a Turkish model, actress and television presenter born in Istanbul; sources disagree on her birth year, giving either 1976 or 1977, so no exact year is stated here. She took her first steps into modelling through two contests, run by İnterstar in 1996 and ATV in 1998, and rose to fame quickly after appearing in a music video by Çelik Erişçi; she also briefly worked as a hostess on the game show Çarkıfelek. Alongside modelling for well-known brands, she took small parts in the series Aynalı Tahir, 90-60-90, İki Arada, Koçum Benim and Kızma Birader, and appeared on screen in the films Yeşil Işık (2002) and Amerikalılar Karadeniz'de 2 (2007).

Together with Nigar Talibova and Gizem Özdilli she formed the singing group Adrenalin, and the trio also ran a café called "Models" in Ortaköy. A story about her ears being reshaped with Japanese glue stayed in the tabloids for years and further raised her profile.

In her personal life she divorced her husband Namık Güldeniz in 2007, married businessman Yusuf Berat Komşu in 2016, and had a son, Yağız, that same year; having settled in Mersin before the marriage, she now runs fashion-show organisation and choreography work there.
