Yonca Şahinbaş — Biography

Yonca Şahinbaş was born on July 6, 1972, in Istanbul. The daughter of well-known Yeşilçam actor Mahmut Cevher, she was drawn to the performing arts from an early age and graduated from the Theatre Department of Mimar Sinan University's State Conservatory in 1994. While still a student she performed with the State Theatres, and in 1991 she began working as a voice-over artist.

In 1994 she played Özlem in the series Gurur, then Sırma in Çiçek Taksi and Duygu Tarhan in Asmalı Konak. In the mid-2000s she played Mürvet in Avrupa Yakası and Füsun Evliyaoğlu in Binbir Gece, and later Sultan Barazoğlu in Dila Hanım and Nazan in Asla Vazgeçmem. In 2017 she played Asiye in Show TV's Yeni Gelin, and she has kept working into the 2020s, taking on the role of Vedia in Kalp Yarası and returning to screens in 2026 as Selma Emindağ in the series Muhtemel Aşk.

Their work through different eyes

Series Binger A series devotee tracking character arcs, cast chemistry and season pacing.

Yonca Şahinbaş's television falls into two veins: family and situation comedies such as Avrupa Yakası and Yeni Gelin, and melodramas such as Dila Hanım. In my view she is more at ease in comedy, as Mürvet in Avrupa Yakası and Asiye in Yeni Gelin; in the melodrama the weight stays with the lead couple and Şahinbaş stands on the filling-out side of the cast.

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

Of Yonca Şahinbaş's work, the ones to watch together at home are Çiçek Taksi and Yeni Gelin: comedy-led series that grandparents and children can sit through together. Dila Hanım, which deals with a woman who falls for her husband's killer, is better kept for older viewers.
