Doğa Bekleriz

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Doğa Bekleriz (b 28 November 1977, İstanbul) is a Turkish model, actress and TV presenter . She recently also started a singing career with a group named Adrenalin formed with two other Turkish models, Gizem Özdilli and Nigar Talibova, with whom she also opened a cafe named "Models in the chic" which is located in the Ortaköy quarter of İstanbul.

She made her first public appearances in 1996 and 1998 where she took part in two successive modelling competitions, organized by the Star TV and ATV TV channels respectively. She rapidly attained fame with a part she took in a Çelik video clip, and since early 2005, has been modelling for prominent brand-names in Turkey. She also played noticed supporting roles in several TV series.

Somewhat uneasy with her ears, she made headlines in Turkey in early June 2006 when she had stuck her ears to her head by means of superglue and cold spray for an evening appearance and then, unable to pull them back, had to be hospitalized. The notoriety of the affair took larger proportions when she was publicly chided on TV by Beyazıt Öztürk (Beyaz) , leading TV presenter who shares the same backgrounds as her.
