==Early life==
Nehir was born in 1416, Manisa, her parents were Hasan Pasha and Pylşa Hatun. Iskender saw she when he visited Hasan Pasha's house in 1431. She enter to harem in the same year at March. 
==Life in the Harem ==
She started by entering the Mahidevran's court as one of the higher Hatun as she was Muslim by birth, later Bayezid II forced her son Iskender to try to have a child with Nehir, as Iskender's first consort, Branimira of Croatia was disliking the sultan, and this did not want her son's eldest son to be her son. So Nahir gave birth on May 15, 1433, Şehzade Murad. When she had her first child, Nehir had already become Haseki, Iskender's legal wife, at the behest of Bayezid. This creates disagreements between Nehir and the other Haseki of Iskender, Branimira and Hiranur Sultan.
During her time as a concubine she gave birth to a child Ayşe Sultan in 1441. After Şehzade Selim's death, in the same year, her husband became the main pretender to the Ottoman throne, and governor of Manisa. In 1443 Sultan Bayezid died and Iskender ascended the throne as sultan, he and his family moved to the Topkapi palace. Mahidevran became the new Valide Sultan and Nehir was drawn as the main consort outnumbering Branimira and Hiranur, receiving 300 aspers as a salary. She then gave birth to her last daughter Beyhan Sultan in 1450. After that she took care of charitable institutions such as the Reception House and the Iranuriy Mosque.
