Biography and What Famous For:

Aysun Kayacı began her career in the entertainment industry at a young age, starting as a stand worker at fairs at 15. In 1997, she participated in the Elite Model Look competition, placing 3rd. She quickly established herself as a successful model, known for her striking looks and presence on the runway.

In the early 2000s, Kayacı expanded her career into acting. She landed roles in several Turkish TV series, including “Zehirli Çiçek” (2000), “Çat Kapı” (2005), “Doktorlar” (Doctors, 2006), and “Sessiz Gemiler” (2007). She also appeared in films like “Kısık Ateşte 15 Dakika” (15 Minutes on Low Heat, 2006) and “Şeytanın Pabucu” (2008).

Beyond acting and modeling, Aysun Kayacı also worked as a television presenter. She was a co-host on the popular talk show “Haydi Gel Bizimle Ol” (Come On, Come Be With Us) on NTV, where she discussed various topics, including politics.

She is perhaps most famous for a controversial statement she made in 2008 during a television program, stating, “My vote cannot be equal to that of a shepherd in the mountains.” This comment, widely interpreted as dismissive of rural voters and those who pay less tax, sparked significant public outcry, debate, and even legal action against her. She later expressed regret for the statement.

In 2012, Aysun Kayacı married banker Efe Kapancı and subsequently moved to London, largely withdrawing from the public eye and the Turkish media scene. She has since focused on her family life.
