Meet The Cast: 'Deha' on Show TV!

Devran grew up in one of Istanbul’s poor neighborhoods after being abandoned by his father as a child. He was raised by his mother, grandmother, and four siblings. He is the son of İskender and Gülce. His life was shaped by the discovery of his genius at an early age, followed by his father’s abandonment. Years later, as he crosses paths with his father again, Devran embarks on a journey of revenge where he will come face to face with a side of himself he never knew.

İskender abandoned his wife and children years ago due to his own ambitions. He is extremely cunning and intelligent, with a remarkable ability to exploit people's weaknesses and lie convincingly, using his charisma to influence everyone around him. The only things he cares about in life are money and power. He lives with Aysel, and this is one of the reasons he left his family and their son Cesur. When his path crosses with Devran again, he finds himself entangled in a great revenge story.

Cesur is the son of İskender and Aysel, and Devran’s younger half-brother by one year. As the only child of such a devilish couple, he has inherited both of their malevolent traits. From a very young age, he learned that he had to fight to survive and even protect himself from his own father. Having lived in an environment of constant mistrust, trusting others is out of the question for him. With Devran entering their lives, many things will change for Cesur as well.

In the revenge battle that Devran finds himself in, his only and greatest ally is Sofi, who has been his mentor since childhood. Sofi and the stories he tells will guide Devran in devising the right strategies.

İmre grew up feeling indebted to İskender because she always saw him as a powerful savior since childhood. To her, İskender is a hero. She doesn’t shy away from pushing boundaries to achieve what she sets her mind on. With her free spirit, captivating beauty, and sharp intellect, as well as her ability to use her intelligence for evil, İmre will be Devran’s most significant life challenge as he struggles not to resemble his father.

Esme is a young woman with high intelligence and an exceptional capacity for learning, yet she feels trapped within the confines of the oppressive and conservative family she grew up in. The only person who allows her to breathe in this stifling home life is Devran, and her love for him. This love serves as her strongest refuge against all the pain she endures.  

Aysel is Cesur’s mother and İskender’s true wife. Her character is shaped by money and lust. Aysel and İskender are incredibly compatible, as their self-centered personalities perfectly complement one another, and they don’t care about anyone else. When they combine their powers, their success in exploiting others increases manifold.

Gülce is Devran’s mother. She was blindly devoted to İskender, and after he abandoned her, she was left to fend for herself with her mother-in-law and five children. Gülce, having raised her children through her own efforts, will go to great lengths to protect them from İskender when he reappears years later.

Yaman is Ferman’s younger brother and Devran’s older brother. He is neither as driven as Ferman nor as passionate as Devran. Lacking belief in himself and unaware of his own talents and abilities, Yaman feels trapped between his older brother’s composure and his younger brother’s extraordinary skills.

Ferman is Devran’s oldest brother, the first son of İskender and Gülce. Since he was ten years old when İskender left, Ferman was the one who best understood their father’s abandonment. From that moment on, he grew into a wise, level-headed child, always aware of the responsibilities on his shoulders, never causing problems, and forced to mature early. Deep down, he envies the attention Devran receives within the family and his father’s charismatic presence, which Devran seems to have inherited.

Ceylan is Devran’s sister, one of the twins born to İskender and Gülce. She is Devran’s youngest and only sister, strongly attached to her family, her brothers, and life in the neighborhood.

Boran is Devran’s brother and Ceylan’s twin. Dreaming of a wealthy life, Boran is chasing the opportunities that could come from the rich world of the father he’s never met. He is trying to carve out his own path while playing a dangerous game.

Devran’s grandmother is İskender’s mother. Even after İskender abandoned her, she has never spoken ill of her son for a single day. Stubbornly and insistently, she waits for her son İskender, who has vowed not to return.  

Yusuf is one of İskender’s arch-enemies. He is the son of Lame İhsan and the younger brother of Hakim. Yusuf watched as his father lifted their poor family into wealth through the eyes of a child. Lame İhsan raised Yusuf to take charge of all his businesses and is the favorite of the family.  

Hakim is another of İskender’s arch-enemies. He is the firstborn son of Lame İhsan and Emine and the brother of Karga. İhsan has clearly defined the roles of his sons within the crime empire he built. There is no doubt that Karga will be the leader of the family after him. Hakim grew up with this reality, and İhsan has always designated him as the protector of his brother and family, assigning him the role of a loyal bodyguard.
