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.
