Exclusive Interview | Buğra Gülsoy

We conducted an interview with Buğra Gülsoy, known for portraying Evren in the popular series Blooming Lady, exploring the dynamics of Bahar and Evren’s friendship. Buğra Gülsoy delved into Evren’s inner world and his intricate relationships with both Timur and Bahar during our interview. Gülsoy provided insights into Evren’s perspective on loneliness, highlighting its significance in his journey of self-discovery.

We see Bahar much more confident and free when she’s with Evren. What can you say about the friendship between Bahar and Evren?

They have no walls or barriers against each other. Evren is like a guide for Bahar’s heart. He leads Bahar away from being stuck in her own thoughts and logic towards her feelings and intuitions. He advocates that the decisions should be made with the heart rather than with the mind. Not only does Evren benefit Bahar, but Bahar will also benefits Evren; they will heal together. Their relationship, without fitting into certain patterns or labels, is based on the confidence gained from getting to know each other well, allowing them to take bolder steps against life.

Buğra Gülsoy: Evren is like a guide for Bahar’s heart.“

Bahar is not the only reason for the conflict between Evren and Timur. Timur is a character who is fundamentally opposed to everything Evren believes in. It’s also possible to say that Evren has chosen loneliness as a preference. What do you think about Evren’s perspective on the world, his stance, and his loneliness?

We have created generations that fear loneliness. However, I believe it’s important to understand that loneliness is not something to be afraid of, and in fact, being alone can be a valuable step in someone’s self-discovery journey. Despite not being rooted in the concept of “family” in his past, Evren doesn’t see this as a deficiency; it’s just a tangle of emotions that need to be healed and resolved. While Timur is facing the test of desires of the materialistic world, Evren has already passed those tests long ago, his past experiences have transformed and developed him early in his life.
