Biography of Feruza Ruzieva
Childhood and YouthFeruza Ruzieva was born on July 4, 1983, in Navoi, Uzbekistan. Navoi is known for its mining industry, specifically the extraction of rare earth elements, precious metals, and uranium. While the mining industry thrived in the area, there was a lack of theaters and other cultural centers. Despite this, Feruza found a way to express her creative potential by dedicating herself to dancing. She grew up performing on the stage of the local Palace of Culture and planned to pursue a professional career in dance.
Education and Career
Feruza enrolled in the Higher School of National Dance and Choreography in Tashkent in 2000, where she excelled and became a laureate of the national award. However, she soon realized that her passion for dance was leading her in the wrong direction. She decided to leave the school and pursue a different path. Feruza then studied international cultural relations and art history at the National University of Uzbekistan, graduating in 2006. She furthered her education at the School-Studio of Dramatic Art at the Youth Theater of Uzbekistan.
After moving to Russia, Feruza honed her acting skills at the director-actor course of the Drama School of Herman Sidakov and various other authorial schools and studios. She had plans to study abroad, but her limited knowledge of the English language prevented her from doing so.
Film Career
Initially, Feruza's filmography consisted of Kazakh and Uzbek films, but after moving to Moscow, she found her way to a wider audience. Like her experience with dancing, Feruza had doubts about her choice of profession and attempted to leave the film industry a couple of times, only to return each time. She gained significant recognition for her role as Gulnara's niece in the Russian TV series "Kitchen." She joined the cast in the fifth season and her character later had a romance with Sergey Epishev. Feruza also appeared in other projects of various genres, including melodramas, comedies, and mystical detective series.
Personal Life
Feruza met Ivan Samokhvalov, a Russian national, on a film project, and they fell in love. However, Feruza hesitated to inform her parents, who expected her to marry someone from their own culture. Instead of facing the challenge of explaining her choices, Feruza decided to run away, leaving a note for her parents. After a month, her father organized a grand Uzbek wedding for her, and her parents eventually accepted her decision to live in Moscow. Initially, Feruza faced difficulties and fear in the city, but the birth of her son, Timur, in 2011 eased her anxieties. Feruza and Ivan later divorced but continue to co-parent their son.
Current Endeavors
Feruza Ruzieva continues to act in films and TV series. In 2022, she was involved in the production of the eight-episode detective series "Koshka," which was released on the START streaming platform.
