Burcu was big into theatre
Having earned her stripes on-stage before she was on-screen, Özberk got a name for herself as a theatre actress in plays at Erdal Beşikçioğlu’s ‘Tatbikat Stage’, including ‘Quills and Woyzeck’.
Burcu previously dated her co-star
Her now-married former co-star, Turkish actor Alperen Duymaz, was her boyfriend for a short while in real life. Unfortunately it didn’t work out and he is now married to Kübra Kelkit, a teacher.
Burcu is proud of her faith
The Turkish actress, who lives in Istanbul, is also a proud Muslim. Her name, Burcu, also carries an Islamic meaning: “A sweet smelling woman”.
