She took part in amateur theatre and voice-overs and also performed in the play The Vagina Monologues[6] by playwright Eve Ensler.

Feryna has since trained and worked under Satyadev Dubey and Alyque Padamsee, as well as at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts [RADA] in London.

Feryna then acted in Ketan Mehta's Rang Rasiya, which won the Audience Award at London Indian Film Festival in 2011 before it was released in 2014.

The film explores the boundaries between home and the outside world and Feryna plays a young orthodox Muslim woman who loves the British dish of fish and chips.
