Selin Şekerci, a beloved actress of Turkish television, has made a name for herself through her successful performances in a variety of projects throughout her career, ranging from romantic comedies to dramas, and from cinema to digital platform productions.
Şekerci embarked on her acting journey with the series 'Kavak Yelleri', and soon after gained widespread recognition for her role as Özgür in the series 'Melekler Korusun'. However, it was the project 'Kaçak Gelinler' that truly catapulted her to stardom. With her portrayal of the character Şebnem, she amassed a large fan base. Subsequently, she successfully continued her career with her performances in 'Benim İçin Üzülme', 'Acı Aşk', 'Çoban Yıldızı', 'Kızım', 'Yeşilçam', 'Ben Leman', and most recently in 'Baş Başa' which aired on the TOD platform.
In an interview with Binnaz Saktanber, a writer for T24, Selin Şekerci made striking remarks about the age discrimination that women face in the acting industry.
While discussing her latest project published on the digital platform, the actress drew attention to a persistent issue in the industry, revealing that she had lost many opportunities simply due to her age.
Şekerci critiqued the age standard applied between male and female actors, particularly pointing out that producers still prefer to see women in their early twenties opposite male actors who have passed the age of 35.
The successful actress described her predicament in the industry with the following words:
'Why can't I act alongside actors of my own age? They want to see young girls of 23 or 24 next to men over 35. I've lost many roles because of this. I'm considered too old for my peers. Even though I don't look it, I'm also deemed too old for those older than me. They say, 'She can't play a mother, she's too young.' What exactly am I supposed to do?'
