Melis Civelek, a seasoned figure in the Turkish television series industry, has managed to carve out a significant niche in the world of television with the productions she has spearheaded to date.
Civelek, a screenwriter known for her work on widely discussed projects such as War of Roses, I Named Her Feriha, No: 309, and Forbidden Fruit, has recently been making a name for herself with the series Cornelian Cherry Sherbet.
Cornelian Cherry Sherbet, a series that addresses societal issues through the lens of family relationships, has maintained its position at the top of the ratings charts since its debut. The series, which has been one of the most talked-about on social media throughout its seasons, has remained in the spotlight not only for its storyline but also for its cast.
Feyza Civelek, who has been portraying the character Nilay since the first season of the series, is one of the leading names in this regard. The actress, who is the daughter of Melis Civelek, faced comments from the very first episodes suggesting that she was included in the cast because her mother was the screenwriter of the series. Feyza Civelek, however, has repeatedly denied these allegations, stating that she auditioned for the role and secured it based on her own performance.
Despite this, the character of Nilay and her portrayal were discussed on social media for a long time. While some criticized her performance, others praised the energy she brought to the series. Beyond the debates, however, the character of Nilay gradually became one of the most attention-grabbing figures in the series. Feyza Civelek has managed to become one of the most talked-about actors on screen with her distinctive demeanor, social media posts, and statements that have made headlines in the entertainment news.
In fact, it came to light in recent years that Melis Civelek is not only the mother of Feyza Civelek, but also the mother of Ömer Nadir Civelek.
Following in his sister's footsteps, Ömer Nadir Civelek embarked on an acting career and it was revealed that he also had a role in 'Sandık Kokusu', another project of Melis Civelek.
Although not as high-profile as his sister, Ömer Nadir Civelek's name was discussed on social media for a different reason at the time. His like on a critical post about Feyza Civelek attracted attention, and this move by the brother quickly made its way to the gossip columns. As social media users discussed this like for a long time, the Civelek family once again became one of the central figures in the news.
Even though Ömer Nadir Civelek has preferred to advance his career more quietly to date, he has occasionally been drawn into 'nepotism' debates due to his involvement in projects written by his mother, Melis Civelek. Especially considering the criticisms Feyza Civelek has been subjected to for years, the young actor's new project also led to similar comments on social media.
According to the news by Birsen Altuntaş, Ömer Nadir Civelek has most recently joined the cast of the series "Anne Yarısı", prepared by NTC Medya for NOW.
Penned by Melis Civelek and directed by Semih Bağcı, the series will bring together Cihangir Ceyhan and Burcu Özberk in leading roles.
The shooting of the series, for which a reading rehearsal will be held, will commence on August 1st, starting with scenes in Izmir, followed by the team setting up on location in Cappadocia.
Choosing acting like his sister Feyza Civelek, Ömer Nadir Civelek will breathe life into the character Özcan in the series. The young actor will appear before the audience as the youngest son of Ali's (Cihangir Ceyhan) aunt Altın (Selen Uçer). In the storyline, despite living in adjacent mansions, Ali and his aunt Altın's families will be portrayed as two feuding families due to a longstanding inheritance dispute.
With the revelation that Ömer Nadir Civelek has joined the cast, social media users didn't hesitate to share their opinions. While some users argued that the young actor should be given a chance, others sarcastically commented on Melis Civelek's daughter and son both being included in her own projects, labeling it as 'nepotism'.
