Childhood and Youth

The future screen star was born in Istanbul in March 2000. Hafsanur's maternal relatives are from the Georgian city of Batumi, and her paternal side is from the Turkish Rize.

About her name, the actress says it originates from the Arabic name "Hafsa", meaning "guardian" or "protector". "I never tolerate injustice and always want to protect those in need. So I believe that names have significance," says Hafsanur.

Hafsanur is not the only child in the family – she has two sisters. One of them pursued a career in medicine as she grew up, and the other in pedagogy.

Sadly, the girl's childhood was not cloudless. Already a famous actress, Hafsanur Sancaktutan often spoke about violence against children and women. It turned out that her grandfather was a pedophile and abused his granddaughter. In her time, she was harassed by her cousins, neighbors, and even colleagues.

The idea to take up acting did not come to Sancaktutan immediately. During her school years, she was engaged in sports, eventually earning a black belt in karate. At some point, she even contemplated pursuing a future in coaching.

When she was eleven, a friend of her sports instructor, after reading the lines on her palm, said that she would become famous in the future. Only years later did Sancaktutan understand the meaning of these words.

Meanwhile, she began participating in school productions, and later took up the development of her acting future seriously, signing a contract with a corresponding agency.

After school, the young woman intended to enter the conservatory, but a condition of studying there was a ban on filming for students in the first three years. Therefore, Hafsanur abandoned this idea, instead taking private acting lessons.
