Dilek is a Turkish actor based in London, who grew up in Istanbul, and who’s roots go back to Greece. Acting has been a passion for her since childhood, and she went on to gain a Masters Degree in Film and Drama Acting at Kadir Has University, Istanbul.

Dilek had a successful career performing in a variety of productions in Turkey, and since moving to the UK, has been involved in a range of acting projects in London – including stage show ‘The Parade,’ for which she won Best Actress award for her performance as Zoe.

During lockdown, Dilek performed a character named Gozde, who has a personality disorder. After which, her interest in the subject led her to write a play about personality disorder, and she finds it particularly interesting as an actor to play such challenging characters.
