Hazal Filiz Küçükköse

Küçükköse completed high school in Ankara.^[1] She studied at the Department of Biology at Kırıkkale University's Science and Literature Faculty until the third semester, and continued her undergraduate studies at the Department of Chemistry at Ankara University's Science Faculty. Küçükköse stated that she was discovered by a casting director who saw her photos by chance at a social networking site and that her acting career began with her participation in actor selections.^[4] Küçükköse said, "I found myself in front of the camera while preparing for the general biology visa."^[4]

Her first antagonist role was in Günahkar against Seçkin Özdemir,^[5] which was the start of her leading roles from then on. However, the series ended due to low ratings with its 7th episode. The next year, she gained fame for playing in Kara Sevda and continued acting in more TV series with starring roles, including as the fictional daughter of Çandarlı Halil Pasha, Melike Hatun, in Mehmed: Bir Cihan Fatihi.
