HUNKAR YAMAN (60)
Just like the meaning of her name, Hunkar is a
sultana, a ruler. With a legendary beauty, she is
both just and distant. She is Demir Yaman’s mother
and the “Grand Lady” of the Yaman Ranch.
Her father is one of the biggest landowners of
the time. She is a wealthy woman who cares
deeply for her land and the people who live on
it. After successfully graduating, she arrived at
the Yaman Ranch as the bride of the family.
Everyone in her care is afraid of her because they
know that her rage is as large as her conscience.
Hunkar is very supportive of Demir’s plans of
owning all of Cukurova. The almost perfect man
Demir has only one shortcoming and that is
infertility. When he was a kid, the doctor warned
Hunkar he might be barren due to mumps. Hunkar
can't accept the possibility that her strong and
powerful son might be prone to such a misfortune.
The idea of having no blood-related heir beyond
Demir starts to drive Hunkar crazy. Unless Hunkar
finds a solution to this problem, the whole fortune
will be left to Demir's cousin Sermin while Demir
will be known as the “Barren Lord.” There is no
way Hunkar can accept this.
Hunkar always finds a unique solution when
she is cornered. She doesn't tell a soul about her
plans, as they are always in secret, just like her
appreciation, rage and mercy. She finds a solution
for Demir as well: Zuleyha.
