She was believed dead by her relatives; only when she was washed up did she open her eyes.

Encouraged by a relative living in Germany, the von Soyhan family moved to Germany with her, also to enable Zuhal to receive better medical treatment from the age of four. In Germany it was diagnosed that Zuhal Soyhan has vitreous bone disease. She spent three years in the hospital and kept breaking bones.
