Özge Borak — Biography

The daughter of Istanbul State Opera and Ballet head choreographer Selçuk Borak and ballerina Buket Borak, Özge Borak passed an exam at age eight to join the children's section of the City Theatres and later graduated from the theater department of the Istanbul State Conservatory; from 1998 she took roles in numerous productions at the City Theatre. She first appeared on screen in 2003 with the series Kara Gün, became known in 2005 as Elif in Ihlamurlar Altında, and in 2009 played Rozêrîn in the Kurdish-language film Roja Reş.

She reached wide audiences as Müjgan in the Eyyvah Eyvah trilogy, winning Best Supporting Actress at the Sadri Alışık Awards in 2011 for the second film, and around the same years played Nezaket for a hundred episodes of Güldür Güldür Show. She portrayed Begüm in İstanbullu Gelin and Nurgül in Dedemin Fişi, won the competition Maske Kimsin Sen? in 2022, and appeared in the films Akif and Kum Zambağı; since late 2025 she has played Salkım in Kızılcık Şerbeti, and from 2026 appears in İstanbul Hatırası.

She was married to ballet dancer Bülent Şakrak from 2006 to 2010, and to actor Ata Demirer from 2012 to 2014.

Their work through different eyes

Family Viewer Asks whether the whole household can watch it; cares about humor and heart.

The easiest way to watch Özge Borak together at home is the Eyyvah Eyvah films: the comedies with Müjgan revolve around a naive, good-hearted clarinettist and suit most ages. Dedemin Fişi is funny, but the argument over pulling the grandfather's plug may weigh on younger children. Kızılcık Şerbeti, about a clash of values between two families, is more for adults.

Cinephile Looks at script, editing and directing choices; keeps a distance from formula films.

In the Eyyvah Eyvah series Müjgan is the nurse the clarinettist Hüseyin loves in the first film and his wife in the third, so the part is always shaped by the hero's story. Özge Borak's Sadri Alışık supporting-actress award for the second film shows, in my view, that she could leave a mark even within that narrow space.
