Early Life and Education
On February 28, 1987, Hande Soral was born in Inegöl, Bursa, Turkey, to Macedonian immigrant Hamdi and Bulgarian immigrant Sebahat. Her first name, which means "smile" in Turkish, perfectly captured her cheerful and carefree nature. Growing up with her siblings, Bedirhan and Bensu, Hande's enthusiasm for the performing arts emerged at an early age.
After graduating from Turgut Alp Anadolu Lisesi, Soral enrolled in the Psychology Department of Istanbul Bilgi University. While pursuing her studies, she simultaneously honed her acting skills and dance abilities. Recognizing the importance of education for actors, Soral emphasized that talent alone was not sufficient and that she benefited greatly from her psychological background.
Career Breakthrough
Fate played a pivotal role in Soral's journey to stardom. In 2008, while attending a comedy show as an audience member, she was spontaneously selected by the host, Tolga Çevik. Despite lacking formal acting training, Soral effortlessly impressed the producer with her charisma and raw talent. Consequently, she secured her first acting role in the series "Küçük Kadınlar" ("Little Women").
The five-season run of "Küçük Kadınlar" catapulted Soral to fame and endeared her to a vast fan base. Despite suffering a car accident during filming, she remained undeterred and continued to grace the small screen in numerous series, including "Günah Gibi" ("Like a Sin"), "Alef-Alev" ("In Flames"), "Her Sevda Bir Veda" ("Every Love is a Farewell"), and "Fatih" ("The Conqueror").
Soral's transition to feature films began in 2014 with "Bi Küçük Eylül Meselesi" ("A Little September Affair"). She further showcased her versatility in "Biz Size Döneriz" ("We'll Call You Back"), "Tahin Pekmez" ("Tahini Molasses"), and "Meleklerin Mucizesi" ("Miracle of Angels").
Personal Life
Hande Soral's personal life has been marked by two marriages. Her first marriage was to actor Ozan Yağlubay, known for his portrayal of Ibrahim Pasha in "Muhteşem Yüzyıl" ("The Magnificent Century"). After a brief courtship, they married in 2012; however, the marriage ended two years later due to "irreconcilable differences."
In 2015, Soral found love again with Ismail Demirci on the set of "Adını Sen Koy" ("Name It"). The couple got engaged in early 2017 and tied the knot on October 14, 2017. Soral has often expressed her deep affection for her husband, crediting him for making her happier than ever before. Together, they enjoy traveling and attending social events.
