Biography
[edit]Meral Zeren's given birthname was Çiğdem Gümüş and although her earliest part of life had started on bad terms according to one of the widespread view that when her mother whilst being pregnant learns of her husband's polygamous affair with other woman, deserts the place where she lived with her husband(Diyarbakır) and heads to Istanbul and where Zeren gets to be born,[2] but it seems contentious regarding other sources on her birthplace. And then, Zeren received her primary and secondary education in Istanbul, though becoming compelled to drop out of school. Yet she succeeded in making herself a place when she was just 15 had already started singing on stages and caught attention of well-known directors of that time, such as Atıf Yılmaz and Memduh Ün and they provided her eventual introduction into the big screen.
Zeren's debut role in a film came from a movie named "Önce Vur sonra Sev"(1971) written by Bülent Oran and starred by lead actor Yılmaz Köksal.[3] After that a wave of her other films got released which she was given roles opposite to some prominent actors, like Kemal Sunal(Salako,Hanzo), Cüneyt Arkın(Yanaşma), Barış Manço(Baba bizi eversene) and others.
