The name “Tuba” in Turkish is a luxurious tree of paradise with branches reaching to the sky. It’s no different than how this image presented itself to the parents after the birth of the baby. Already in childhood she showed her ability in drawing. Mom and dad quickly appreciated their daughter’s work, and soon she was already attending classes at the elite Doğus art school, which she successfully graduated from.
The girl continued her education at the Istanbul University of Fine Arts, where she completed her studies with a diploma in costume design and set design.

The first film was followed by others - “Çemberimde Gül Oya”, “Gulizar”, “Father and Son”, “Asi”. The turning point in her career was the series “Under the Shadow of Linden Trees,” which brought popularity to the young actress. And in the next film, “Heartbreaker,” she met her fate - Tuba Buyukustun’s future husband, Turkish actor Onur Sailak, was also involved in this project.
After a year of romantic relationship, they got married, and not just anywhere, but in Paris. A year later, Tuba gave birth to her husband two twins - daughters Maya and Tropak. The actress says that before marriage and the birth of children, she was a completely different person - more withdrawn and not sociable. Tuba Buyukustun’s husband surrounded his wife and daughters with care - he, along with Tuba, takes care of the little ones, and the actress is very grateful to him for this. To be just the two of them, they didn’t even hire assistants - this helped Onur and Tuba get even closer to each other.
The actress says that Onur is an excellent helper - to give her a rest, he got up to feed the babies at night and change diapers. When her daughters were eight months old, Tuba Buyukustun went to work, and only then did they turn to the nanny for help. The first condition for the assistant was to keep the actress informed of all the events happening with the babies - the nanny even sends her photographs of them.

The actress is calm about her popularity and the fact that, perhaps, after a while no one will remember about her.

Designer for daughters
However, in every failure there is a little positive. During the time that Tuba was caring for her daughters, she remembered that she was a designer by profession and personally sewed several things for the little ones. It turned out so well that the actress, who promised to definitely move to France, sometimes remembers her hobby.
Faithful friends
Paparazzi have more than once attributed an affair with entrepreneur Umut Evirgen to the single mother and even photographed the couple together. Tuba clearly didn’t like this, and she and the businessman were never seen again. The artist’s personal life is a secret about seven castles, but her love for homeless animals is well known. The actress sheltered many cats and dogs that had lost their homes.
