Gül Gölge — Biography

Hosting Canlı Canlı on Kanal D made Gül Gölge, a Turkish actress, model and television presenter, known to a wide audience. In recent years she has also turned to writing: her first novel, Lagom, reached readers in August 2026, extending her work beyond television and film.

Her screen career began early. She finished Özel Türk Koleji in İzmir, moved to Istanbul and studied Film and Television Programming at Istanbul Bilgi University. In 1997 she was runner-up at the Türkiye Güzellik Yarışması (Miss Turkey) pageant. She took her first acting step while still in her early teens, as Nuray Yıldırım in the 1995 series Çiçek Taksi, and went on to appear in series such as Yapayalnız (2001), Acemi Cadı (2005), Selena (2006) and Akasya Durağı (2008); she acted in a film in 2004 and also took roles in Mezuniyet (2009) and Dog (2015). From 2005 to 2009 she hosted Canlı Canlı, which shifted her weight toward presenting. From 2016 she served on the jury of the fashion competition Gardırop Savaşları.

In her private life she married Murat Saygı, a former vice president of Doğan Yayın Holding, at the Kadıköy marriage office in 2007; the couple divorced in 2018 and have two sons.
