Life
Nergis Kumbasar was born on 25 May 1963 in Ankara. She is from İkizdere. Her father Abidin Kumbasar (b. 1932), the son of a family from Rize, is a professor of internal medicine and cardiology. Kumbasar has a younger brother named Deniz. From her father's second marriage to Canan Kumbasar, she has a half-brother named Genco Güralp.
Kumbasar completed her kindergarten in the United States because of her father's studies and works in the country. While attending TED Ankara College Foundation Schools, she was sent to a modeling and grace school by her mother. Then she left her studies in economics at the Ankara Academy of Economics and Commercial Sciences unfinished and began modeling in Istanbul. She would describe this decision as "my greatest regret" in the years to come. She played in many commercials during that period. She made her acting debut in 1985 with the role of Nüzhet on TRT's series Dokuzuncu Hariciye Koğuşu. She also started to work as a TV presenter in the 1980s.
In 1989, Kumbasar married Turkish actor and showman Mehmet Ali Erbil. In 1995, she gave birth to the couple's daughter Yasmin. They divorced in 1996. In 2000, she returned to television with the role of Berna on the TV series Eyvah Kızım Büyüdü. She was involved in various productions in the following years. In 2007, she made her debut as a scriptwriter with the TV series Evimin Erkeği. She later appeared in the fantasy series Acemi Cadı (Turkish version of Sabrina the Teenage Witch) and portrayed the character of Neriman on the popular TV series Kiralık Aşk.
