## Training and beginnings
Gül wanted to be an actress from childhood and started her professional acting education at 18, training at the acting department of Ankara University's State Theater[3](https://www.turkishdrama.com/sifanur-gul.html). In interviews she describes the conservatory background as the source of her stage discipline, diction, and character analysis[5](https://www.atv.com.tr/sifanur-gul/kimdir). She began her career on theater stages and gained attention through her stage performances before moving to television[3](https://www.turkishdrama.com/sifanur-gul.html) • [6](https://www.sinemalar.com/sanatci/761612/sifanur-gul).
Her move to the screen came through the producer Nilgün Sağyaşar, owner of Focus Film, who noticed her while she was working as a theater actress[2](https://www.biyografya.com/tr/biographies/sifanur-gul-59d96635). She has said that wanting to act was a childhood decision she never reconsidered; in her own words, acting was the one profession where she could be hundreds of people and hundreds of jobs in a single life[7](https://gq.com.tr/sifanur-gul-gq-roportaji).
## Television career
Her first screen role was a lead one: Eylül in the 2019 series *Sevdim Seni Bir Kere* (Can't Stop Loving You)[2](https://www.biyografya.com/tr/biographies/sifanur-gul-59d96635). In 2020 she played Gülperi in the historical series *Uyanış: Büyük Selçuklu* (The Great Seljuks: Guardians of Justice), followed by İkra in *Benim Adım Melek* (2020–2021), Suna in *Cam Tavanlar* (Glass Ceilings, 2021), and the young Firuzan in *Kırmızı Oda* ([The Red Room](https://www.edgepedia.org/the-red-room), 2021)[3](https://www.turkishdrama.com/sifanur-gul.html).
**A rapid run of roles.** From 2022 onward she appeared across broadcast and streaming projects in quick succession: Yonca Sıdalı in *Hayatımın Şansı* (The Chance of My Life, 2022–2023), Güliz Tümer in the Netflix newsroom drama *Kuş Uçuşu* (As the Crow Flies, 2022–2024), Asiye in *Yaratılan* (Creature, 2023), Feride in the film *Akif* (2023), and Zeynep Özcan in the ATV series *Altın Kafes* (Golden Cage, 2023)[1](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm10934994/) • [2](https://www.biyografya.com/tr/biographies/sifanur-gul-59d96635). *Kuş Uçuşu* ran 18 episodes with Gül in the cast, and the series streams on Netflix[1](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm10934994/) • [8](https://www.netflix.com/title/81303889).
Her widest recognition came with Esvet, who also appears as Firuze, in *Terzi* (The Tailor), the Netflix series in which she shared the leading roles with [Çağatay Ulusoy](https://www.edgepedia.org/cagatay-ulusoy); she played the part across 23 episodes in 2023[1](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm10934994/).

In a 2026 magazine interview she described the role's effect on her: Esvet quieted her, while playing Güliz in *[Kuş Uçuşu](https://www.edgepedia.org/kus-ucusu)* made her more energetic[10](https://magdergi.com/kapak-konusu/cekici-kararli-iddiali-sifanur-gul/).
## Film, stage, and recent projects
Her film work includes *Akif* (2023), about [Mehmet Akif Ersoy](https://www.edgepedia.org/mehmet-akif-ersoy) and the writing of the Turkish national anthem, in which she played Feride[1](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm10934994/) • [11](https://www.sinemalar.com/filmleri/761612/sifanur-gul), and *Bir Cumhuriyet Şarkısı* (2024), in which she played Nükhet[1](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm10934994/). She was later cast as Gönül Bozoğlu, the fiancée of the musician [Kazım Koyuncu](https://www.edgepedia.org/kaz-m-koyuncu), in director Özcan Alper's biographical film *Kazım: Yarım Kalan*, taking the role after Biran Damla Yılmaz's schedule conflicted with the series *Halef*[4](https://www.tgrthaber.com/medya/kazim-filmde-cem-yigit-uzumoglunun-partneri-sifanur-gul-oldu-kazim-koyuncunun-nisanli-3344320).
