What engages you right now?
– It is the trial between the Norwegian state, Dündar Yuvali and me as his wife. It has been very stressful to prepare for. For several weeks I have struggled to the death to get help to upload the conversation log of me and Dündar over four years. The authorities, UDI and UNE, will eventually understand that we are telling the truth and then it is only a matter of handing over that log. Then they will see that absolutely everything is correct, and we can hope for a positive response.
What is your most controversial position?
– To insist that there should be equality before the law.
What are you proud of having achieved in the past year?
– That I have stood by what I believe, especially in the last four years. I am proud that Dündar and I persevere, and that we endure the pressure we get as private individuals.
Introvert or extrovert?
– I’m an introvert, you’d never think that. I don’t need to go to the shop for people to come and greet me, I don’t need the half minute of “fame”. I’m happy and talk when I meet people, but I’m at home a lot.
Right from the start or cloud of conflict?
– God help me, I’m straight from the liver. I don’t put my finger on anything.

Carefully planned or take it as it comes?
– Both. But I don’t get excited if someone changes my plans. What makes you think you have the opportunity to do that? Then I will be strict.
Save or splurge?
– I can treat myself well.
“Dax18” or “The Farm”?
– I never watch TV, but if I have to choose, it will be “The Farm”, but only if Niklas Baarli Silseth is on.
Board games or PlayStation?
– I am very fond of board games. I just promoted a game, I’m an influencer after all. Golden moments, it’s called.

When was the last time you cried and why?
– The other day. I was going to tell Dündar that I am coming to Turkey on May 8 and he didn’t have time to reply to the message. If he had only read what it said, he could have just sent me a heart. Then I got upset. But I got a reply to the message eventually.
What is the bravest thing you have done?
– To marry Dündar. We thought it would be a bit more easy than this, compared to other people. But we love each other high and low and we fill life with joy and wisdom.
What is the most dramatic thing you have experienced?
– When my ex-husband and I were in Liberia. We were strongly advised not to enter Monrovia, but we did. And then we sat in what we thought was a cafe, but it turned out we were in a brothel.
– But the trip could potentially end up in a life-threatening situation. We were driving in a taxi and suddenly some soldiers jumped in and they had Kalashnikov rifles. They just wanted to get into Monrovia and eventually jumped out of the car. But we just had to hope for the best, we could have been kidnapped. 14 days later there was a military coup in the country.
And… when was the last time you lost your mind?
– It’s something I’ve stopped doing now, but when people had a baby I always used to joke and say: “Did you get your ears?”. I told a couple that once when they had a little boy, and then they looked at me strangely. Then I looked down at the kid, and he had ears like big cabbage leaves. I will never forget that.
What do you regret most in life?
– I don’t regret anything, I don’t know what I should regret. Everything I have done has given me life experience, even if it has been negative. Then you might learn not to do it again.
What’s the sickest rumor you’ve heard about yourself?
– That I have had three husbands from Turkey, and that the youngest must have been 17 years old. And of course the fact that people think Dündar is going to leave me as soon as he comes to Norway. I have said on TV that if he gets the slightest interest in another woman, it’s straight back to Turkey.
What is the nicest thing someone has said to you?
– When Dündar says: “I’m so proud of you”. He’s the first one to say that to me and it’s just as nice every time. I never get tired of hearing that.

Who would you cancel and why?
– Stupid people and those who refuse to understand common sense and common sense.
Who/what would you like to pay tribute to and why?
– My husband, Dündar. Because he perseveres with all the pressure he has on himself as a person and he gets so damn much pes. He was bullied in his hometown because he married a woman 30 years his senior. But he is no longer bullied, because now they understand that it is serious.
What pisses you off?
– Not to be believed. All people jog several times a day on average, but I never jog. When I say something, I expect to be heard and for it to be accepted as truth.
If you have 500,000 to invest, how would you invest?
– In a holiday apartment in Turkey.
What is the best or worst gift you have received or given?
– The best present is a gold ring from my husband. The ugliest gift is a pink handbag I got from Ranja, with which I have the podcast “Mi sæiå det sån”.
