He was awarded the title "Best Foreigner Playwright" in Montreal, Canada in 1975 for his play Ce Fou de Gogol.

He played a character similar to "Kavuklu" (literally "the one wearing quilted turban") of the theatre in the round (Turkish: orta oyunu) at the end of the 1800s.
Ferhan Şensoy received the "kavuk" in 1989, and wore it 27 years long until March 2016, when he passed it over to Rasim Öztekin (1959–2021).
