Fame is not the most important thing in the life of an actress. It makes absolutely no difference to her whether she is famous or not.

If an actress stars in commercials, she definitely uses the products of which she becomes the face. The girl states that it is very important for her not to deceive her fans.

Neslihan loves Turkish designers very much, but often wears things from foreign couturiers.
The girl believes that a man should first of all respect women of any age. She is attracted to young people who are distinguished by high intelligence and a sense of humor. A guy should be taught polite behavior towards women by his parents in early childhood.
